...blood to help," said Syrian President Noureddine Atassi. The U.S. and Israel hinted that they might intervene if the regimes in Baghdad and Damascus sent regular troops to reinforce the guerrillas. But at week's end Amman Radio reported that a Syrian armored brigade had crossed into Jordan with Soviet-built tanks. The radio added that Jordanian troops repulsed the invaders "with heavy losses...
...This summer is going to be an electrifying one, an electronic one. There will be some fighting, but its accent will probably revolve around the deployment and setting up of new weapons systems. There will be lots of aerial incursions." By an electronic summer, Dayan meant clashes between Soviet-built, radar-controlled Egyptian surface-to-air missiles and Israeli jets equipped with electronic countermeasure (ECM) devices.

He probably earns about $125,000 a year (before stiff taxes) as president of Lucie Kaiser K.G., near Leipzig.

Moscow already has 500 aircraft, arms and machinery technicians in Nigeria, and a Soviet-Nigerian trading company was recently organized to sell Russian-built cars and trucks. A $150 million Soviet-built steel plant may soon be started. In the Lagos government's view, the Russians deserve everything they are getting. "I would give Russia more...
...gunboats are ideal for Israel's small navy. Egypt already has 20 Soviet-built gunboats of the Osa and Komar classes; one of the Osas stunned Israel in October 1967 by sinking the destroyer Elath with a Styx missile. After the Six-Day War, Israel ordered a dozen vessels, each with a French hull, German engines and Italian electronics, including the 20-mile surface-to-surface Gabriel missile...
