Szerintem az oroszok nem lőttek soha a zsidókra.

 

A történelem ismerete...

 

By 1969, two brigades with seven batteries were stationed along the Suez Canal in the first phase of the War of Attrition with the Israeli Air Force.

Egyptian officers were not pleased with the shortcomings of the SA-75MK system, and in January 1970 the USSR agreed to a major modernization of Egyptian air defenses, including the improved S-75 Desna with 13D missile and the new S-125 Pechora.

Codenamed Operation Kavkaz (Caucasus), Soviet PVO-Strany troops manned the new S-125 batteries to speed up the deployment of the new SAM belt.

A new unit, the 18th Special SAM Division, was formed for this mission, better known as the “11th Dnepropetrovsk” since it was based on cadres from that division.

The 18th Special consisted of three S-125 brigades, each with eight batteries with four launchers per battery.

Many of the new S-125 batteries were deployed around key cities and military facilities in Egypt, but a few were forward deployed along the Suez Canal and so engaged with the Israeli Air Force.
