THE DETROIT 6—Friday, Dec. 15, 1972 JEWISH NEWS Egypt Would Lose War, Cairo Report Discloses BRUSSELS—An Egyptian army and air force top secret study has convinced top mili- tary men in Cairo that their country would lose to Israel in another war, diplomatic sources said here. The sources said the sur- vey reports only 60 to 65 per cent of the air force's war- planes ready to fly, and 40 per cent of the army's wea- pons ready to use. The Egyptian military is less worried about the losses in the fighting with Israel than that their air force squandered at least 50 planes in training accidents since 1970, the sources said. The survey also disclosed that Egypt has lost about 100. fighters and bombers in the "war of attrition" with Israel since late 1969 until August 1970, and in training since then. The sources said the survey blames the lack of military readiness on bad mainten- ance, careless handling by Egyptian troops and a lack of spare parts from Russia, which has supplied most of the arms. The survey reportedly said 40 per cent of the Egyptian army's weapons are effective, 40 per cent are irrepairable, and 20 per cent are usable if spare parts arrive. Russia is reportedly taking a lot of time to fulfill a prom- ise that supplies, suspended when Egypt expelled Soviet advisors in July, will be re- sumed.
