During the 1960s the Soviet Union poured vast quantities of weaponry into the Arab states. As well as tanks this included large numbers of armoured personnel carriers such as the BTR-152, seen here on parade in Egypt, as well as the BTR-40, BTR-50 and BTR-60. The BTR-152 was the Soviet Union’s first purpose-built APC and was capable of carrying up to seventeen infantrymen.

When the Egyptian military moved back into Sinai Israel felt compelled to launch a preemptive strike. The June war of 1967, often called the Six Day War, divides into three distinct phases: 5–7/8 June, the Israeli campaign against Egypt; 5–7 June against Jordan; and 9–10 June against Syria.
