Factual error: Several times in the movie, you can see the airbase control centre communicate with aircraft using a VRC-46 radio. This radio, which transmits in the VHF frequency range, is not capable of communicating with combat aircraft due to the Doppler effect resulting from their high speed. Jet aircraft would use a UHF radio to communicate.

Stupidity: When Eitan and Ran escape the Egyptian troops, they take shelter in a creek and fire back at them. Ran is firing from his handgun, but the troops are at least a couple of hundred meters away, while a common handgun can only reach a range of about 30 meters. There is no way the handgun's bullets will even reach the chasing troops. (00:57:24)

Factual error: Throughout the movie, we see soldiers at the air base control center communicate with the aircrafts using an RT-524 radio transmitter. This radio operates in the VHF range, which is not suitable for communication with fast jets due to the Doppler effect. To communicate with jets, you need a UHF range radio.
