I can just picture the scene. The helicopter and fast jet pilots are wondering why they're expected to share their airspace with their own sides artillery fire.

Doing so kills pilots, so it's generally avoided.

The destroyers big guns, by the way, are at most 155mm, the same size as most western self propelled artillery pieces, or only a little bigger than a tank main gun.

And the Palastinians might say some thing along the lines of 'Why can't our fighters live somewhere else'


There's never only one side to a picture
