No matter how much truth there may have been to that remark, when compared with the setbacks encountered recently with planes such as the Swedish JAS 3A, the Israeli Lavi and the French Rafale in countries with advanced aerospace industries, the performance of the IDF has really made people sit up and take note.
不論此話有多少恭維的成份，對照於近來航空工業先進國家，如瑞典的獅鷲（Jas 3a）、以色列幼獅型（Lavi）和法國雄獅（Rafale）等新機種紛紛遇挫的情況。IDF 的成果實在令人刮目相看。
