The Israeli pilot's F-15 lost its wings after an air collision, but still flew about 16 km and landed safely.

The US Air Force entered into service with the F-15 heavy fighter in 1976, and then began to deliver this state-of-the-art fighter to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

As two Israeli F-15s plunged into the air, the fighter controlled by Nedivi collided with the A-4 playing the role of the opponent.

However, pilot Nedivi decided not to launch the exit seat after taking control of the plane.

The F-15 shakes as Nedivi slows down.

Nedivi decided to land on an airstrip about 16 km away, so she should continue to maintain high speed for the plane to stabilize.

The F-15 rushed toward the end of the runway and only stopped about 10 meters from the obstacle.

McDonnell Douglas, the maker of the F-15, knows the fighter's capabilities.

Before losing wings during training flight, the F-15 shot down enemy aircraft four times during the Lebanon War 1982. After the crash, the fighter was transferred to a maintenance facility in Tel Nof,

The US developed the F-15 Eagle in the mid-1960s and produced this multipurpose fighter from 1972 to present.

F-15 fighters mainly served in the US military and are employed in the air force of some other countries including Israel, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Singapore.
