>these MIG-28s

MiG-29's in Israeli service. Used for aggressor training.
The source of the MiG's is somewhat disputed. Most think it was Viktor Yanukovych's Ukraine which signed a goodly number of defense deals with Israel.

Christ, did they reprimand him for it or just ignore it as usual?
Aggressor squadrons.
Don't you mean Syrian aircraft dropping bombs on civilians?
I want to see the F-22 in aggressor camo.
