Abstract
As the authors’ previous research has shown, the Soviet Union colluded with Egypt (and Syria) to provoke a crisis with Israel in May 1967, with the intent of intervening to defend “the victims of aggression” after Israel was drawn into a preemptive attack. But the devastating effect of this Israeli air strike obviated the Soviet plan and doomed the Egyptian army in Sinai. In order to salvage its prestige and regional influence, Moscow was constrained not only to launch a massive airlift of hardware to replace Egyptian losses, but also to dispatch Soviet crews to operate it until Egyptian forces could regroup. This created a precedent for future deployment of regular Soviet formations, but also aroused protest in Soviet military and political circles as the USSR’s own defenses were depleted. However, General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev quashed all opposition in Party councils as well as Warsaw Pact meetings, and henceforth his resolve to redouble the wager on Egypt was unchallenged.
