Megiddo and Kadesh... Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

What the Hell was it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mole_Cricket_19 Basically it demoralized not only the Arabs...but the entire Soviet military.

The MiG-23...MiG-25...etc. They proved to be just as much junk...even with Soviet instructor pilots at the stick...so they couldn't just blame it on Arab ineptitude. More here... Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
