He got everything from small arms [there's a dandy photo of Bar-Lev and Amin playing with a silenced SMG together] to artillery and tanks. What did Amin want that Israel didn't deliver, aircraft?
Israel supplied a number of M4A1(76)W Shermans to Uganda. Both examples with VVSS and HVSS have been spotted in photographs. Apparently they were painted in a shade of green. Markings are unclear, but they seem to have had a two-colour rectangular marking on the left side of the final drive housing. The rectangle was split in two with a diagonal line from the lower left corner to the upper right corner. The upper triangle is green, the lower red. Registration numbers were situated in the same location as on Israeli Shermans, on the front of the final drive housing. They are white digits on a black background, one example seems to read "3/718".
Why then, by the more damning article, would Golda Meir have been, reportedly "shocked at his shopping list" for arms?
As I wrote above, "Israel is always looking for friends." Is it so strange then, for them to have allied with a solidly British backed Muslim whom they hoped might tend to offset Islamist designs on then predominantly Christian southern Sudan?
It wouldn't be the first example of such international gambling gone wrong, where Israel later acted decisively against Amin's vindictive duplicitousness with Islamo-Communist hostage takers.
Or, is it just Jews in general that you have a problem with?
