Soviet MiGs Upgraded for Bombs in Arab Air Force
US intelligence reports say Soviet technicians modify more than 100 MIG 21 jets supplied to the United Arab Republic to carry 1000 to 2000 pound bombs. Analysts warn this could raise offensive Egyptian air power, potentially tempting renewed strikes near Cairo while Israel maintains pilot quality and defense capabilities.

Mideast arms escalation blamed on Russia gaza
Washington and U S officials voiced resignation over the Mideast arms spiral while the Soviets reportedly refuse joint action to halt shipments. Nixon repeated a 18 month old proposal to limit arms to the area as Kosygin’s response remained negative and defensive. Assessments vary on Soviet deliveries since 1967, with Israeli air power and tank strength rising, and Israel seeking more Phantoms and Skyhawks despite aging French aircraft and Gaullist policies.
