Show Notes
In this episode, we delve into Operation Diamond, one of Mossad’s boldest missions—a covert operation that changed military intelligence forever. In 1966, Mossad agents persuaded an Iraqi Air Force pilot to defect with his MiG-21 fighter jet, granting Israel unprecedented access to Soviet military technology. This daring act not only exposed the MiG-21’s secrets but also demonstrated Mossad’s exceptional reach and precision in the world of espionage. Join us as we uncover the tension, courage, and strategy behind this audacious capture and its impact on Cold War intelligence.
