I think what I and most of the world read from the 67 war, was that American military hardware was FAR superior to the Soviet hardware, and in particular, American tank tactics were superior to Soviet tactics, which is what the Arabs were using.

The Arabs fought "buttoned up" in their tanks, with the commander running things while looking through his periscope. We, and the Israelis fought with the tank commander seated with his head out of the hatch in the turret. This gave the Israelis the first shot, and (if needed, the third or fourth, before the Arab could get off one.
