Sagger Anti-Tank Missile vs M60 Main Battle Tank

Yom Kippur War 1973
Featuring first-hand accounts, an engaging, up-to-date study explores the clashes between Israeli M60 main battle tanks and the AT-3 Sagger anti-tank missiles used by their Arab opponents during the Yom Kippur War of 1973.

The 1973 Yom Kippur War rewrote the textbook on the tactics of modern armored warfare.

Unlike the previous major Arab-Israeli war of 1967, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) faced an enemy that had invested heavily in modern Soviet weapon systems and tactics. Using detailed colour artwork and insightful analysis, this book explains how the effective use of the Soviet-supplied AT-3 Sagger (9M14 Malyutka) anti-tank missile allowed small Arab tank-killing teams to destroy Israeli armor at an astonishing rate.

It also analyses the tank that opposed it, the US-built M60A1, which had to fight for survival against the Arab Saggers, and shows how in both the Sinai and the Golan Heights, the IDF quickly learned that firepower and infantry/artillery cooperation were the keys to their survival.
