JERUSALEM (JTA)—The story of how a Phantom pilot
downed a Kelt ground-to-ground missile that threatened to
hit Tel Aviv at the start of the war was told Tuesday in
the Air Force Magazine and picked up by Yediot Aharanot.
The pilot concerned related how he and one other pilot
were scrambled on Saturday, Yom Kippur, at 2 p.m. when
an unidentified object was spotted on radar making for
Tel Aviv. They saw it high above them, trailing fire, and
thought it was a MIG 23 on reconnaissance.
Climbing to come closer, he saw it had no pilot and at
once realized what he was up against. Getting behind it
he let go with his weapons. Bits began flying off the Kelt
but—fortunately for the pilot—it did not explode in the air
but spun down into the sea where it exploded with an
enormous bang—creating a massive wave.
The Kelt warhead is estimated at three quarters of a
ton.

The pilot said he was in the progress of adding a new
floor to his house and didn't want the Kelt to mess that up.
