"Weapons supply - not yet involved in the war": expert on the Redies contradicted Putin (video)

According to the Israeli military expert Jacob Kedmi, the USSR supplied weapons and officers of Egypt and Syria during the Arab-Israeli War, and this was not considered the war of the USSR against Israel. The invited expert on Russian television expressed the opinion of the Kremlin's opposite position on the transfer of Western tanks to Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin views it as a direct participation in the war in Ukraine. About it reports Newsweek.

The Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov called the supply of Western weapons, including tanks, direct and growing involvement in the event of the West. In his television show, the Kremlin propagandist Volodymyr Solovyov repeatedly condemned Western military assistance to Ukraine, calling it evidence that it was a proxy between NATO and Russia. He also called for the use of nuclear weapons by the territory of countries that help Ukraine.

However, in the recent show, Jacob Kedmi, who was born in Russia, israeli politician and diplomat, said he did not agree with this position. According to him, the supply of weapons to Ukraine should not be considered as participation of the event in the war.

He asked the interlocutors the question of how much the Soviet Union supplied the weapons of Egypt and Syria during the Cold War and the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 (the war of Judgment Day), mentioning that the forces of Israel's defense had had to fight directly with Russian pilots. According to Kedmi, even though the Russian army was "planning an operation", it was still thought that it was a war with Egypt.

"How many USSR put weapons of Egypt and Syria? In every battalion your officer was sitting. The General Staff of the Soviet Army planned their operations. We said that this war is? With you? Never! It was a war with Egypt. The Soviet Union supplied weapons," he explained Kedmi. In response, Solovyov said it was "your position", but the Israeli expert replied that it was the position of both the US and Israel and the USSR. "Supply of weapons is not a participation in the war.

Countries supplying weapons to anyone. Even when advisers are not involved in the war," said Kedmi, noting that he fought against the battalion of the Egyptian army, which was located in the Soviet officer. "No one on this globe regarded it as a war between Israel and the Soviet Union," a military expert explained. Recall that, according to CNN, the Armed Forces will be counted on old Soviet tanks before the arrival of reinforcement from the event.
