1955年埃苏武器交易内幕

第二次世界大战后美英一方面为了对抗苏联,把中东拉进全球冷战范围,另一方面又企图通过1950年美英法三国宣言控制对中东的武器供应,进而达到调整、保持该地区政治和军事均势之目的。埃及总统纳赛尔为了抵抗以色列的袭击,在请求美英给埃及提供武器不成的情况下,毅然转向苏联,通过捷克同苏联签订了购买武器的条约。苏埃武器交易使苏联势力进入中东,从而给中东局势带来了深远的影响。

Inside Story of Soviet-Egypt Arms Sale in 1955

After World War II, the United States and Britain trapped the Middle East in the global cold war in order to curb the Soviet Union, and at the same time attempted to control weapons supply to the area through the US-British-French Proclamation in 1950 so as to maintain political and military balance in the region. However, to defend his country from the attack of Israel and because of his failed attempt to buy weapons from the West, Egiptian President Nasser turned to the Soviet Union and signed arms sale treaties with the country through Czechoslovakia. The arms transactions strengthened the Soviets in their political and military power in the Middle East, which in turn greatly influenced the situation of the Middle East.
