Field Marshal Abdel Hakim Amer, Nasser's colleague and rival at the head of the Egyptian armed forces, boasted, "Soon we'll be able to take the initiative and rid ourselves of Israel once and for all. At the request of President Nasser, starting in June 1967, Soviet military advisers were sent to the Egyptian Ground Forces, Air Force and Navy--from battalion to supreme command level--with the task of rebuilding the Egyptian Armed Forces on a new basis (the advisers played a major role in preparing the Egyptian Armed Forces for the 1973 Arab-Israeli War which started successfully for Egypt and Syria, but then all of those successes were recklessly lost). The hostility culminated once again on Yom Kipper of 1973, when the Egyptian armed forces, in coordination with Syria, once again launched a major war against Israel. |
