Secret survey shows Egypt unable to defeat Israel
Brussels based sources report a secret Egyptian army and air force survey indicating only 40 percent of army weapons are battle ready and 60 to 65 percent of air force planes can fly. Losses include about 100 fighters and bombers since late 1969, with 50 planes lost in training and maintenance issues blamed on spare parts shortages from Russia. The survey suggests Cairo believes Egypt is at a disadvantage in any future war with Israel. Soviet promises to resume parts supplies and Moscow missions were noted, but no long range bombers or rockets were offered.
