Editing Six-Day War (section)

=== Weapons ===
With the exception of Jordan, the Arabs relied principally on Soviet weaponry. Jordan's army was equipped with American weaponry, and its air force was composed of British aircraft.

Egypt had by far the largest and the most modern of all the Arab air forces, consisting of about 420 combat aircraft,{{Sfnp|Oren|2002|p=176}}{{Sfnp|Morris|2001|p=318}} all of them Soviet-built and with a large number of top-of-the-line [[Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21|MiG-21s]]. Of particular concern to the Israelis were the 30 [[Tupolev Tu-16|Tu-16 "Badger"]] [[medium bomber]]s, capable of inflicting heavy damage on Israeli military and civilian centers.{{Sfnp|Pollack|2004|p=58}}

Israeli weapons were mainly of Western origin. Its air force was composed principally of French aircraft, while its armored units were mostly of British and American design and manufacture. Some light infantry weapons, including the ubiquitous [[Uzi]], were of Israeli origin.
