Confirmation: Egypt 'Deployed U.S.-Made Tanks, SAMs in Sinai'

Western defense sources say 20 to 30 M-60A3 tanks, Avenger SAMs and F-16s deployed along border with Israel.

Egypt has deployed U.S.-made surface-to-air missiles and tanks near the border with Israel, in a breach of the 1979 peace treaty, reports the World Tribune.

“Right now, all of the [Egyptian] heavy weapons have been deployed along the Israeli border,” a defense source said.


Meh. Israel could still wipe them out pretty easily. And 20-30 crappy tanks, a few F-16s with crappy pilots and stingers aren't a threat by any stretch of the imagination.

M60A3s aren't crapy but they aren't state of the art either. This move is an attempt to make a statement without appearing to be a threat.
