The Sam-7 "Holy Grail" air defense missile adopts infrared guidance. The missile is 1.35 meters long, 7 cm in diameter, weighs 9.2 kilograms, has a speed of Mach 2, a maximum range of 10 kilometers, a minimum range of 1 kilometers, a maximum combat height of 4 kilometers, and a minimum height of 50 meters.

It began to serve in Soviet troops in 1968 and later exported to Warsaw Pact countries. It is a portable air defense missile that can be launched by individual shoulder or on-board vehicles.

In view of the psychological shadows on the Israeli Air Force after the "Six-Day War", Egypt specially expanded the four Mobu battalions into air defense regiments, using squads as firepower units, loading Sam-7 air defense missiles on off-road vehicles and providing low-altitude cover to the armored forces.

That night, the Sinai Peninsula was extremely peaceful.

However, the Syrian armored troops that invaded the Golan Heights took advantage of the night to gain a huge strategic advantage...

Before the war began, Israel had only two armored brigades and 11 artillery companies in the Golan Heights, but when five Syrian divisions and 188 companies broke out, they did not panic and disperse, and the two sides had a melee.

It was not until dark that Syria burned the war 20 kilometers of the 1967 ceasefire line. At this time, they had exceeded Sam-6's protection range, and the casualties of the armored forces began to increase. To make matters worse, five brigades of Israel's reinforcements arrived!

The already anxious battle situation became more and more sticky, and Syria got stuck here. Fortunately, after nightfall, the Israeli air force stopped and Syria did not rest. They tried their best to crush them, and the Israeli armored forces fought and retreated.

Taking advantage of the armored forces attracting firepower, Syria did two major things.

First, the special forces were airborne to Mount Helmon by helicopter, successfully seizing Israel's most important tactical fortress-

The shelling observation position arranged on the top of the mountain!

Second, while the Israeli Air Force took a break, they moved all 34 Sam-6 missile companies to the front line!

Sadat and Assad really thought of going together...

October 7, 8:00 am.

Madame Meier made a tearful TV speech at the Prime Minister's Office, informing the world of the crisis facing Israel, calling on Jewish brothers scattered on five continents and four oceans to unite and apply all the means of transport that can be flew, and to air supply materials to Israel on a large scale...

At the same time, the Israeli Air Force came out in full swing and launched a retaliatory tactical bombardment on the invading enemy in two directions—

In the direction of Syria, a huge formation of 125 aircraft consisting of 55 F-4E ghost fighters, 15 Mirage IIIC fighters, 40 Lion fighters and 15 super mysterious fighter bombers used the AGM-45 "Mockingbird" air-to-ground anti-radiation missile to bomb the Sam-6 air-launch missile positions on the Golan Heights.

In the direction of Egypt, 72 F-4E ghost fighters, 80 A-4E Skyhawk fighters and an E-2B early warning aircraft rushed to the Egyptian Air Force Airport in northern Cairo and the Delta from the Mediterranean!

As Mubarak's raid bombing on the first day damaged 43 A4-E Skyhawk fighters and 15 Phantom IIIC fighters arranged on the Sinai Peninsula, Sam-6 air defense missiles and 101 flight squadron shot down the remaining 12 Skyhawks, and in the air battle in the Golan Heights, Israel lost 27 Skyhawks and 5 Phantoms.

Therefore, the above 277 fighter jets are already Israel's entire property. If the war situation continues to deteriorate and the US-supported aircraft does not come yet, then Israel will have to let the trainer aircraft carry missiles to strike!

The huge fleet of aircraft that sneaked into the Syrian Sam-6 missile position was destined to return without success. When they blew up the non-existent "missile position" into a sea of ​​fire and tried to dive to bomb Syrian armored forces that had "leaved from Sam's umbrella", more than 100 Sam-6s suddenly flew out of the rear of the armored forces...

With just one wave, the Israeli Air Force suffered a great loss!

5 F-4E ghost fighters, 7 Phantom IIIC fighters and 14 Lion fighters, a total of 26 fighters had no time to avoid them, and were buried forever in the west end of the Golan Heights in a ball of flames...

The remaining fighter planes did not dare to turn back, and immediately drove at full speed and fled in a hurry.

The mission was obviously failed. After receiving the news, Israel Air Force Commander Azel Weizmann even said pessimisticly:

"The wings of the fighter plane have been broken by Sam..."

He didn't know yet, this was just the beginning.

When the air battle in the Golan Heights ended, the second air raid sent by the Israeli Air Force had just begun, and 72 F-4E ghost fighters were guided by the E2-B Hawkeye Early Warning Plane, preparing to "brutally" bomb seven Egyptian military airports in northern Cairo and around the Delta.

Since the A4-E Skyhawk fighter cannot keep up with the two-seat and two-engine ghosts, it is also photographed by the elusive 101 flight squadron. 80 Skyhawks did not participate in the first wave of bombing, but were arranged in all directions of early warning aircraft to protect this big baby...

Although the Israeli General Staff decided to "quite aside" the Sinai Peninsula and could not squeeze out the armored forces to support the lonely five brigades, the Israeli eagles must respond to the blood shed on the first day!

Moreover, if the bombing results are good enough, the air threats of the five brigades will be much smaller. If they set up a formation to practice alone, the Israeli armored forces will definitely win with less!

The abacus was a joke, what a pity...

There is a prophet in Egypt!

The first thing Ismail did after he arrived at the front line was-

Get Kobe Bryant for me!

Although President Sadat did not mean to let "Kobe Bryant" enter the General Staff, the three military giants and the newly promoted Lieutenant General Mubarak both believed that his "tactical genius" should not be buried and must be used...

Sure enough, young people's brains are indeed different.

After a period of stingy pursuit of each other, "Kobe Bryant" unceremoniously proposed a new tactical term-

Aerial blitz!

In the first few days of the war, Israel was lonely. It could only cry and wail at its best, allowing the inexplicable and surprising friendly people to provide assistance as soon as possible.

If you don’t take this opportunity to kill the David Eagle, are you waiting for the American carrier-based aircraft to fly over to massacre Egypt’s armored forces?

We must be like lightning, moving like thunder, eating one and one for a while, so that Israel has no fighter jets available during this window period!

After staying up all night, the General Staff prepared a series of luxurious packages for the upcoming Israeli "stewardess" based on the "tactical prediction" of "Bryant Bryant":

First, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the Egyptian Air Force's 210 MiG-21MFs and 4 MiG-23MS were all equipped with K-13 "Atoll" air-to-air missiles and took off at full capacity, then turned to the south of the Sinai Peninsula, and cruised at a height of 200,000 meters away from the Mediterranean Sea.

Secondly, the air force airport in the northern Delta of Cairo moved all the remaining aircraft into reinforced concrete bunkers, while the air defense forces were deployed outside the airport and aimed at the direction of the Mediterranean.

Finally, the 20 Sam-6 missile companies that had crossed the river did not follow the second. The Third Corps rushed to the defensive stronghold 60 kilometers away from the canal. Instead, they disguised themselves as various sand dunes on the east bank of the canal, and started to wait...
