the Israelis had a similar problem in the '73 war at one point-I believe it was against the Syrians

It was the Egyptians. They deployed massive amounts of Russian made Sagger missles. They came as a big shock to the Iraelis, and losses were high in the opening stages of the war.

I stand corrected-I remember reading about this in Herzog's "The Yom Kippur War"-just got the area of operations wrong
