...more U.S.-built Phantom jets, particularly in view of continuing Soviet military aid to Egypt. The U.S., however, insists that Middle East arms are still in balance and refuses to provide additional planes. Last week Israel played up the news that eight to ten more Soviet TU-16 "Badger" bombers had arrived in Cairo and that they were capable of carrying air-to-ground Kennel missiles with a range of 50 miles. Washington maintained that in spite of these Badgers the Middle East arms balance had still not been upset. The Israelis thereupon complained that U.S. intelligence has erred...

The Phantoms always approach gradually and at an angle, sometimes drawing abreast of the Soviet planes. On one such occasion, a Phantom pilot was surprised to see his Soviet counterpart hold...
