Perhaps somebody will find it useful... There's a good article describing the battle from Israeli perspective here: http://www.waronline.org/IDF/Articles/sultan-yakub.htm . The article is in Russian. Bukvoed 13:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revision Anyone?

This is a pretty badly written article. It would be nice if someone with more substantial knowledge and better writing skills revised or made additions to the article. --68.161.168.139 22:12, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The article is not well-sourced and the one reference that is being used (the Syrian Tank Hunters article by Tom Cooper of the Air Combat Information Group website) is, in my opinion, unreliable and itself contains alot of evidence that has not been independently verified by any one else, government or private. This article is more like hearsay to me.WikiphyteMk1 (talk) 12:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] rewrite

I completely rewrote this because the whole thing had been copied directly from ACIG. I still used ACIG as an important source here because while I doubt a few of the claims made most of the article checks out perfectly with what two American military officers wrote. The units mentioned there correspond exactly to the OOB given in the American sources as do the locations and times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abu America (talk • contribs) 05:27, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
