Was it fifteen or twenty years ago when a pilot from Egypt landed (deliberately) with a then very new MIG 23 in Israel and the Israelis were very very interested to find out how the best fighter plane of the opposition works and how good it is in action? There were rumours at that time that a big friendly (from the point of view of Israel) power was very very interested in the Israelis sharing their new knowledge with them and that they (the Israelis) did share (for a price).
