SAM Hunting - Campaign Series: Middle East 1948 -1985

[Missile Base 6214, Egypt]: [H2H][HIS][CSL]: Israeli paratroopers from the 55th Airborne Brigade crossed the Suez Canal during the early morning hours October 16th to establish a small bridgehead near Deservoir. Meeting little resistance, they began expanding to the north and west as the rest of the 55th Airborne Brigade crossed in the following waves. After the paratroopers crossed, tanks were ferried across and assembled near Deservoir. With 20 tanks, the paratroopers were tasked with breaking out of the green belt along the canal to search for and destroy the Surface-to-Air Missile batteries providing the Egyptians air cover since the early stages of the war.
