    I always thought that F-16 kill marks are solely on F-16 A/B resulting from their contribution in Lebanon war 1982. Moreover all later kills are credited to F-15.
    Found this F-16DI with one kill mark. Any ideas?

    Shooting down an unmanned vehicle would create a kill mark, too?

    Either that or an unconfirmed rumor about the IAF shooting down 2 Syrian MIG-29s in September, 2004... from the top of my head anyway.

    I've heard that this job was done in Sept 2001 and by F-15...never confirmed...maybe just rumors?

    i guess i have more experience at working with the censor than anyone else here, so... as far as it goes, when i post photos they are either 1) formally cleared by the censor, or 2) i'm not the first one to post them in public. when the second case is relevant - like with the photos you refer to - i take certain measures (blacking out face or gear, in rare cases photoshoping them without a trace) as i see fit. anyhow, i appreciate your care about it!
