If I recall, even 1973 was a shock to the Israelis, after the rout they delivered to the Arabs in the '67 war. The Egyptian inflicted quite a few setbacks on the counter-attacking IDF armor and aircraft in the first few days of the Yom Kippur War with the Sagger missiles and the SAM umbrella. It was when the Egyptians attempted to exploit their initial success and moved into the open that things begin to go awry for them.
