Remember the 1967 Gulf War between Egypt and Israel? Egypt got it’s ass kicked and the rumor is that the hottest industry in Egypt after that war was the production of backup lights for their tanks.
I have a co-worker who’s uncle flew MIGs in the Syrian air force. One day he took me too his car and showed me a Makarow 9X18(BTW love the Mak, nice accurate and reliable pistol) that belonged to his uncle. I nearly asked him if his uncle gave it too him before the Israelis shot him down, but held my tongue.
