Sinai in the Yom-Kippur

I think that seems reasonable fair to count?

Edit: US Gov was convinced in '75 but that's only by the point they were convinced, and its quite possible it was prior.

Edit: just reading more, but this was a pretty cool event from the war

The Egyptian Army put great effort into finding a quick and effective way of breaching the Israeli defenses. The Israelis had built large 18-metre (59 foot) high sand walls with a 60-degree slope and reinforced with concrete at the water line. Egyptian engineers initially experimented with explosive charges and bulldozers to clear the obstacles, before a junior officer proposed using high pressure water cannons. The idea was tested and found to be a sound one, and several high pressure water cannons were imported from Britain and East Germany. The water cannons effectively breached the sand walls using water from the canal.

Fucking Britain lmao. Sets up Zionist Israel then sells water cannons to the Egyptians invading Israel. I’m sure it was private business but still hilarious.
