UNIT 669  JEDINICA 669

      Jedinica 669 je jedinica avijacije zadužena za spašavanje i evakuaciju. Hebrejski‎יחידת החילוץ והפינוי בהיטס , "Yechidat Hilu'z Vehat'zala Behethes", što znači „Izraelska elitna helikopterska medicinska jedinica za izvlačenje“.  Osnovani su 1974. godine na osnovi iskustava iz Yom Kippurskog rata 1973., kada su na brzinu osnovane helikopterske jedinice izvršile preko 5000 izvlačenja sa neprijateljske teritorije. Prva im je namjena bila spašavanje oborenih pilota (vjerojatno i ranjenih ili ozlijeđenih) iza neprijateljskih linija. Slijedećih godina jedinica učestvuje u izvlačenju vojnika drugih rodova IOS-a, naročito pripadnika specijalnih jedinica (sayeret) koji su učestvovali u operacijama iza neprijateljskih linija, spašavaju i mornare u nevolji (bolest, ranjavanje...). Jedinica se sastoji od tri leteće ekipe: tim za izvlačenje (extraction) koji čini jedna pješadijska četa, evakuacioni tim, koji se sastoji od padobranaca doktora, bolničara i medicinskih sestara te trećeg tima koji je tehnička podrška.

     Unit 669 is an Airborne Rescue And Evacuation Unit (Hebrew: יחידת החילוץ והפינוי בהיטס‎, "Yechidat Hilu'z Vehat'zala Behethes"), which is the name of the Israeli Air Force elite heliborne medevac extraction unit. Unit 669 was founded in 1974, based on lessons learned from the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when an ad-hoc medevac unit made some 5000 extractions. Its initial mandate was to extract and provide initial medical treatment to downed (and possibly injured) pilots beyond enemy lines. However, in later years the unit also participated in extraction of soldiers of other arms of the IDF, especially special forces (sayeret) fighters in operations beyond enemy lines and seamen in distress. The unit is composed of three flights: extraction, which has a company of ifantrymen; evacuation, which has a company of airborne doctors, paramedics and nurses and technical support group.

AIR FORCE BASE TEL NOF  ZRAKOPLOVNA BAZA TEL NOF

      Zrakoplovna baza Tel Naf, znana kao Baza broj 8 je jedna od glavnih baza Izraelskih zračnih snaga i nalazi se u blizini grada Rehevota. Bila je to glavna baza RAF-a (Britanskog Kraljevskog Ratnog Zrakoplovstva) zvana RAF Aqair. Tokom Arapsko-Izralskog rata 1948. godine kodno joj je naziv bio "Ekron fild". Danas se ovdje nalazi nekoliko lovačkih i helikopterskih eskadrila. Ovdje se nalazi i nekoliko specijalnih jedinica (Jedinica 669, Jedinica IAF-a za pretragu i spašavanje, kao i centar za obuku padobranaca). Zrakoplovna škola IAF- je bila ovdje do 1966. godine kada je prebačena u bazu Khatserim. Pretpostavlja se da je izraelsko nuklearno oružje u ovoj bazi ili njenoj okolni. Eskadrile sa ovim naoružanjem se nalaze spremne 24-sata dnevno u zadnjih 30 godina.

       Tel Nof Israeli Air Force Base, also known as Air Force Base 8 is one of three principal airbases of the Isreli Air Force and is located near Rehevot. Tel Nof was originally called RAF Aqair, the main Royal Air Force base in Palestine and during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War get a code name: „Ekron Field“. Today Tel Nof houses several fighter and helicopter squadrons. Several special units of the Israel Defense Forces are also located there, including Unit 669, Airborne Combat Search and Rescue, and the training center for paratroopers. The IAF flight academy was at Tel Nof until April 1966 when it was moved to Khatserim IAFB. It has been alleged that Israeli nuclear weapons are stored in or around the Tel Nof Airbase. In addition, fighter aircraft capable of delivering these nuclear payloads may have been on 24-hour alert there for the past 30 years.

AIR DEFENSE  PROTUZRAČNA ODBRANA

      Izraelska protivavionska odbrana, kao dio izraelske avijacije je zadužena za odbranu zračnog prostora sa zemlje te nadopunjuje odbranu koju vrše zračne snage. U vrijeme Izraelsko-arapskog rata 1948. godine su bili sastavni dio artiljerijskog korpusa i uglavnom su se oslanjali na protivavionske mitraljeze. Šezdesetih godina se uvode 40-milimetarski radarski navođeni topovi, a od 1965. su nabavljeni i MIM-23 Hawk zemlja-zrak raketni sistemi. Ovi su sistemi kasnije prebačeni u Avijaciju, dok se 1970. godine i ostatak protivavionske odbrane prebacio u Avijaciju. Iako je dio Avijacije, strukturno je organizirana kao artiljerijki korpus. Zapovjednik PVO-a je podređen zapovjedniku Avijacije.

      The Israeli Air Defense Network is the IDF Air Force unit responsible for the surface front of Israel's air defense, complementing the air defense provided by the active squadrons. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the Air Defense Network was part of the Artillery Corps, rimarily relying on machine guns. During the 1960s, 40mm radar-guided anti-aircraft guns were introduced, and in 1965, MIM-23 Hawk surface-to-air missiles. The latter were absorbed in the Air Force's surface-to-air units. In the 1970s, the entire Air Defense Network was merged with the Air Force. Although it is part of the Air Force, the Network is organizationally structured in a way similar to the Artillery Corps. The Network commander is directly subordinate to the commander of the Air Force.
