Israeli tanks should already be in the Sinai by now.

If not, they should be getting ready for a two front campaign, and prepare for the pre-emptive strikes that will guarantee their safety.

To heck with that. They should be bouncing a practice bomber labeled “20KT” off of the Aswan dam and dropping leaflets in Arabic with the legend “How well can you swim?”

Israeli tanks should already be in the Sinai by now.

The US sold Israel down the river 17 years ago with tank superiority.

"Egypt obtained US approval in 1984 to build a factory to produce new tanks. Under the initial agreement, the Egyptians would assemble 524 M1A1 tanks, and Egyptian officials hoped that this number would eventually rise to 1,500 tanks. Six production cycles were established initially, with each increment increasing the level of technology from General Dynamics Land Systems. Beginning in mid-1992, Egypt started assembling M1A1 tank components imported from the United States. Egypt manufactured about 40% and imported 60% of the components for the 555 tanks produced. The cost was estimated at $3.2 billion. The Egyptians also will produce the 120-mm cannon as well as an increasing number of parts for the tank. Egyptian officials said the goal was to make Cairo self-sufficient in tank production."
