True indeed. I forgot about that. I use to tell people that, when they say that Israel beat Egypt real good in 1973 war.
However, a war today, would be a war between two combatants that's equal in technologies.
And if I do not remember it wrong, the israel had to fight it's enemies on 3 different fronts.
I have tried to speculate on how a future war between Israel on the one side and Egypt, Turkey, on the other side. In my "brainstorm" Iran and syria came to be involved in this conflict. Then I stopped "brainstorming"
Cause, in some situations I came to a point, where Israel was threaten upon it's survival and the question in this case is:
Would a country that have neuclearbombs, us them??
