...further, Aviation Week & Space Technology last week carried photographs of concrete hangarettes, some camouflaged to resemble mosques, from which the Russian MiGs are flying. The magazine also printed a map snowing construction sites for the SAMs spaced at 71-mile intervals all along the western bank of the Suez Canal...
...addition, three Syrian MIGs that had appeared eight hours after the attack began were shot down. (The Israelis also claimed to have shot down seven Egyptian planes during clashes over the Suez Canal for a week's total of ten Arab aircraft-one of the biggest bags since the Six-Day War.)

As a result, Israeli casualties -27 killed and 66 wounded in April -have been the highest for the Suez front since last July...
