One jet fighter squadron will be completely shut down, while two others are to be combined into one. The announcement caused an “uproar” among air force personnel, according to a Channel 2 report.
According to Channel 10, all of the squadrons employed aging planes and were scheduled to be cut in several years’ time anyway, due to high operation costs.
