Its goal was the acquisition of a [Soviet](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union)-built [Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-21), the most advanced Soviet fighter plane at that time. The operation began in mid-1963 and ended on August 16, 1966, when an [Iraqi Air Force](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_Air_Force) MiG-21, flown by the Iraqi [Assyrian](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyrian_people) [defector](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defector) [Munir Redfa](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munir_Redfa), landed at an air base in Israel. Israel and the United States were able to study the design of the plane. personal opinion: this is like if Russia convinced a Polish F-35 pilot to defect and land in Moscow without anyone in Poland or the US knowing about it
