Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History
The Sa'ar, which is founded on 2nd March 1954, was the IAF (Israel Air Force) first supersonic fighter jet. The name Sa'ar in Israeli means Storm. Because of that, it was highly valued to the Israeli pilots at the time. Unfortunately, at the beginning, the aircraft did have lots of problems which lowered its flight performance by a lot. The first major problem was its engine. The Atar 101G-3 was incredibly heavy and weak, breaking down from time to time. Not only that, it also had a problem with its fuel consumption. It would suffer from high fuel consumption, meaning it couldn't fly long and was not that agile. But it did manage to reach Mach 1.12 and could climb at 86m/s.
In the pages of history, it first saw combat in in 1967, in the 6 Day-War. Its role was a fighter-bomber, where pilots began growing affections toward its bird. Next long after, in 1973, it was combat once again in the Yom Kippur War. In that war, only 6 Sa'ars were lost in combat. It was soon liked by most Israeli pilots. Most of the pilots would say it could take on a MiG-19 and have a good fight with it.

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
