. As a fighter, attack plane and reconnaissance plane, the F-4 has fought in conflicts all over the world, including Hanoi, Suez Canal, Iran and Turkey. For the West and its allies, "ghosts" were the main combatants during most of the Cold War. In the Middle East War, the Israeli Air Force took the initiative in the battlefield with the excellent performance of "Ghosts" and experienced pilots. Even in such a sinister environment, the "Ghost" fighter still maintains a fairly high combat effectiveness.

In close combat with MIG -2 1, Israeli pilots often use the principle of "energy maneuver". This kind of operational thinking was first designed by Americans during the Vietnam War, emphasizing three-dimensional operations. Under certain maneuvering conditions, the thrust-to-weight ratio of "Ghost" fighter at 7.3∶ 1 in horizontal flight can be improved to a more favorable 9∶ 1 or even stronger. In this case, "Ghost" can defeat MIG -2 1 in a protracted war.
