...spare parts for those near-obsolete planes. They also have a modified version of the MIG-21, but they are equipped with engines that are not adaptable to Egypt's Soviet-built MIG-21s. Admits one observer: "The Chinese may be able to supply a nut or a bolt here and there, but nothing big enough to solve Egypt's arms problem." That means the Egyptians will still have to look to Western Europe and the U.S. for most of their new military hardware. Still, with the signing, Sadat's anti-Soviet posture has been even more...
