Operation Rooster 53 was a bold Israeli special forces mission on December 26–27, 1969, during the War of Attrition, where commandos stole an advanced Soviet-made P-12 radar system from Ras Ghareb, Egypt. Using CH-53 helicopters, they airlifted the 7-ton radar to Israeli-occupied Sinai, allowing them to study Soviet air defense technology.
