Arabs' Firepower Edge Moves Beyond Easy Israeli Victory
Washington intelligence reports warn that Arab nations led by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Libya, and Saudi Arabia hold overwhelming military strength with 4-to-1 air power, 3-to-1 pilots, 110-to-1 ships, and vast Soviet weapon stocks. Israel would win a future war but at a high cost, with estimated Israeli casualties around 36,000 and U.S. proportional impact. The six Arab states field 1,509 jets to Israel's 426, and Arab air forces deploy 78,600 airmen vs Israel's 19,000, while Arab antiaircraft missiles far exceed Israeli capabilities. In naval power, Arabs outnumber Israel five to one, and air defense is described as the densest in the world. Political odds in Florida tilt toward Ford over Reagan, with Wallace leading the anti-Wallace column in the Democratic side.
