It's not exactly as if the Imperial fighters form a wall through which
the
Rebels must batter through. It's enough if the escorts engage enough of
the
interceptors to allow the bombers in the confusion to slip through to
their
targets. So 23 rebel fighters don't have to be the equal of 100 TIE for
the
above operation
