The EAF flew frequent PR missions along the Suez Canal, employing oblique photography, to keep track of the IDF dispositions in western Sinai. This Egyptian MiG-21FL, aircraft 6151, carries a locally assembled reconnaissance pod as a PR asset. The jet is armed with R-3S missiles to deal with any Israeli interceptors that might challenge it or attempt draw it into a flght. The IAF pilots remained aggressive and eager to prove their mettle in combat, even if it meant violating the ceasefire. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
