Kursk? Didn’t they say the Tank battles in the Israeli Yom Kippur War (1973) was at the Kursk levels?

Yeah. And Nixon saved Israel when he pulled out all the stops to re supply them. I had a guy in my squadron who flew one of the ferry missions to Israel delivering F4 Phantoms. He told me they were told to rendezvous with an IAF fighter who would guide them in and do EXACTLY what he said. They flew in, did not see a base, the Israeli said “ 90 deg L turn to base prepare to land”, still nothing. At the last second my buddy said you could make out the runways and revetments. The camouflage was THAT GOOD....
