6-A Statesville Record Landmark Thursday, January 17, 1974 Missile Studied WASHINGTON (AP) Technical analysis indicates that a So viet-made antiaircraft missile fired by the Arabs in the recent Mideast war was overrated, Pentagon sources report. The SA7 was found to be too slow to knock down U.S. jets flown at high speed by Israeli pilots and its warhead was not powerful enough to destroy more than a fewof the jets it did hit, sources said. According to reports being studied here, only two of 28 U.S. built Israeli Skyhawks struck by SA7 missiles crashed while the other 26 landed safely, U.S.
military sources said. Neither of the downed planes was traveling faster than about 450 miles per hour when struck. The Israeli Air Force lost heavily in the first four days of the October war and considerable credit for those killed was given to Soviet-provided antiair craft missiles. One of those missiles was the SA7, a heat-seeking weapon that was mounted in groupings of four to eight on tracked vehicles. The SA7 was encountered first in South Vietnam where it was effective against helicopters when shoulder-fired by North Vietnamese infantry men.
The Israelis captured some SA7s and other types of Sovietsupplied antiaircraft missiles. Israeli and U.S. technicians have been studying their performance ever since the October war. Among the weapons under study is the new SA6, a high speed antiaircraft missile designed to counter low-level attack planes. The SA6 was encountered for the first time in the recent Mideast war.
This missile too was credited at first with many Israeli kills but it was determined later that the SA6 caused most damage by forcing Israeli pilots into evasive maneuvers that brought their planes into the muzzles of antiaircraft guns. Meanwhile, other studies of Israeli tanks knocked out in the October battles indicate that Russian antitank ammunition is highly destructive, perhaps more so than American experts had believed it to be.
