According to Abraham Rabinovich, "while the American airlift of supplies did not immediately replace Israel's losses in equipment, it did allow Israel to expend what it did have more freely".
Ifølge Abraham Rabinovich: "Selv om den amerikanske luftbro ikke straks erstattede Israels tab af materiel, tillod den Israel at bruge det forhåndenværende udstyr mere rundhåndet".
