Military Unity Urged by Arab Authority

needed. The Arab generals dismiss
the theory that an Israeli atomic
bomb would mean a stalemate.
This theory is based on the as-
sumption that Russia would give
Egypt a protective "umbrella"
guarantee, at least until Egypt had
its own weapon, and then neither

side would dare attack.
Arab strategists are beginning
to conclude that this analysis over-

looks several other factors. The
first is that Israel would have to
use nuclear restraint because of
the proximity of Arab targets to
population centers in Israel. Any

bomb dropped in Jordan, Syria or
Lebanon would have serious radia-
tion fall-out effects on Israel. There-
fore the only logical Arab target
for Israel — in the Arab military
view—is the Cairo military and in-
dustrial complex.
But the fact that Cairo is a con-
siderable distance away also means
that it would be - necessary for the
Israelis to have an effective and
accurate delivery system for their
bomb. "This," said Khalidi, "the

Israelis lacked until the recent

purchase of 48 Skyhawk bombers
from America."
However, the Arabs are con-
vinced that Egyptian air defenses
are highly sophisticated. More
radar early warning would shield
Cairo than protects American
targets in North Vietnam. It
would not be easy for the Sky-
hawks to get through to Cairo.
Networks of defenses have been
perfected and revisions made to
improve such defenses based on
the data from North Vietnam,
according to assumptions accept-
ed In Washington.
The Arabs assume that Israel
could not ensure with absolute cer-
tainty that the few atomic bombs
it is able to manufacture would be
delivered on target. This means to
the Arabs that, for an Israeli
atomic attack to be conclusive, it

Despite present frictions between
Arab states, Arab strategists are
pleased to see sophisticated conven-
tional weapons arriving in Arab
lands from both America and Rus-
sia. Khalidi pointed out that the
36 American F-104 jet interceptors
just shipped to Jordan are
ar " an in-
valuable addition to Arab air
strength, since the F-104 is a
Mach-2 fighter fully capable of
meeting the challenge of Israel's
M irages."
Reference is made to "massive
Saudi Arabian armament" includ-
ing Lightning jets and Thunder-
bird missiles. The primary foe en-
visaged currently may be Egypt.
"However," said Khalidi, "any
arms in Arab hands are better than
no arms at all, and the political
situation in the area is so fluid that
it is not wholly inconceivable that
the Saudi arms should one day be
used against Israel."
Reviewing Egyptian air strength,
the assessment lists at least 550
Soviet jets. Included are 30 TU-16
medium bombers, IL-28 light bomb-
ers, perhaps 120 MIG-21 jet fight-
ers, and several hundred other jet
fighters and auxiliary craft includ-
ing helicopters. Indeed, the Egyp-
tian air arm is far stronger than
that of North Vietnam.
The Egyptian missile command
has about 100 missiles of different
ranges. The al-Zafir has a range of
175 miles. Guidance systems are
said to be poor. Egypt now has an
integrated air defense command
that shields the whole country,
based on the SAM-2 missile, as
modified recently, and supported
by the MIG-21 jet. It is linked with
