Also, I have heard that Israel has the fastest scramble time of any air force in the world due to their location and the poximity of their enemies. This article says "The average Scramble time in case of any emergency should take around 4 to 5 minutes." Granted, it is post 9/11.Post 9/11 most fighter bases in the nation keep at least two Hardened Aircraft Shelter, or HAS, housed birds in a 'hot' condition, that is, fully fueled, 520 rounds, 2 x AIM-9s, 2 x AIM-120s, with the INS aligned and two pilots keeping watch round the clock for the alert.
