The Spanish and Moroccan formations are exchanged. The Spanish circulated along the northern slope of the Luad Saquia el Hamrra. The Moroccan guerrillas shot them from the edge of the cliff to lure them into a trap. Well, most of the guerrillas were waiting camouflaged on the dry river bed. With a width of about 500 meters. One of the companies returned fire, to pin down the enemy. While the rest began an enveloping maneuver. Although a large group of legionaries went down to the river bed, falling into the typical trap. 46 legionaries fell in combat. Including the captain and other officers. The rest were injured of varying severity. Some on more than one occasion. It is not known how many Moroccan and Sahrawi guerrillas died. There was no official figure. Well, many casualties were removed.
I have been following your RU-vid channel for a few days now 🙌🏻Your videos are really nice👌But I noticed that your channel is not growing according to the quality of your videos😞If you follow a few tips your channel will grow organically very fast, can I help you grow your youtube channel? Do you have any plan for youtube channel?
the 63rd in real life was mostly destroyed. The Recce Company was mostly disorganized and ineffective and left there positions when the nK army pushed across. Also there were some ROK cavalry in the area and briefly fought near the 63rd but retreated towards Noonsan.
I was googling “nasr operation” and found your interesting analysis. My dad was an officer in Iranian royal army, chieftain tank, he lost his life that day and still MIA.
I would like to add to this video, but I wont, so i'll make a few comments. Further thouhts: 1) I have seen nothing about the defence of these cities, for examples, defensive lines, advance defencive lines, fields of fire etc. Even reflections of Vietnam and assaults against US positions showed how difficult it was to storm bases, barb wire, flood lights, air dtikes, rocket strikes, these open zones would have been formidable. I have seen nothing regarding these Afghan defensive attempts. 2) Air power, I have seen nothing to indicate that the AAF were interdictin roads, bridges and strategic points. Surely there should have been places were anything on the ground that moved would have been targetted? 3) Reports of indirect fire slowing down Taliban advances, mortar, rocket and artillery. Surely the Taliban would have had to form up in some capacity and maintain some sort of logistics support that could have been wiped out. 4) Taliban mistakes. Surely the Taliban might have made mistakes somewhere, advanced without sufficient supply, or otherwise been in the wrong place at the wrong time. As I say in the video, it doesn't make sense. Its like the country fell in freefall. Never before have advances been so rapid. Even consider Libya where they failed to take Tripoli. Not a single stale mate. As I say in this video, the 'something else' scenario is at the top of the list. If I think of anything else I will add it in the comments.
Bruhh the war was over long ago. Ethiopia Won! ENDF is the most biggest and advanced military in the world. This is all propaganda. Shhh, this is a secret but, we are getting ready for the incoming world war. hahaha Abiy will be the king of the world.
the estimated killing is over 6000...more than 1000 hindu girls were raped...mostly hindu women and children whose arms & legs were cut...they were tied upside down to show the inferiority. one man who united hindus and sikhs was GOPAL MUKHERJEE ..aka gopal pantha.
Gandhi just stood there like a statue and stated that those disputed areas must be given up by India. He also stood alongside Jinnah for a seperate country. Then CM hussain suhrawardy was behind it. That day one man named Jyoti Basu was also present with him when the killing announcement was done.
This man Jyoti Basu became CM of West bengal later when India got independence. This man is dead...but the scars he left behind is still oozing blood out of it. All they did is to appease the minority, keep them illiterate And remain in power.
The only reason West bengal is part of india is because of Shyama Prasad Mookerrjee..the hero..the man,the myth,the legend for us. Who was killed mysteriously in the disputed area of Jammu and Kashmir...
The heart wrenching fact is that we indians killed indians just to be in power. But now, after 70+ yrs..the situation is changing...it's changing for the welfare of indians..and i hope this will go on for good.
It was a stupid mistake considering they were defeated using AH-1J cobras and airborne troops. They had no chance once the Iranians regrouped and started launching air attacks
1st battalion of the 46 Infantry had 4 rifle companies of 120 soldiers allocated. But they were always under strength so the entire battalion might have had 350 to 380 rifleman.
I kind like what you are doing and wish you the best luck. Keep researching. On a side note, everything related to the war of independence in Eritrea is documented; albeit, I do not know if it available for the public. Back to the main story; Afabet is a sequel of the great war "project Nadew" where Ethiopian core strategic foothold was completly destroyed. Post Nadew, Afabet was liberated followed by Massawa. This is a not a sequential process; to facillitate the liberation of towns and cities great battles was raging all over the country to undercut any circuitry within the enemy's system. If you are aiming to be a war historian, Eritrea is the best choice. It an amazing great history.
Hi. I am live in Turkey and ı want play this game. But I can't play this game because the Turkish economy is weak. Euro is very expensive compared to Turkish currency. Please can you give a discount on prices?
Considering the clear minimum wage variance I think I can do something: www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=ml9s8a132hlg_&met_y=minimum_wage&idim=country:uk:fr:es&fdim_y=currency:eur&hl=en&dl=en#!ctype=l&strail=false&bcs=d&nselm=h&met_y=minimum_wage&fdim_y=currency:eur&scale_y=lin&ind_y=false&rdim=country&idim=country:uk:tr:nl&ifdim=country&hl=en_US&dl=en&ind=false However, probably best if you communicate directly via email support@modernwar.games www.modernwar.games/contact.php#h1Focus
Just food for thought- their is a horrible scratching sound coming through in the audio. I had an great uncle who died July 16, 1950. He was with the 13th Field Artillery Batallion. He was 18 when he died :/
According to captured documents after the raid, the enemy terrorists dead was 1.028. A good days work. There was no "hot pursuit". A dozen stolen trucks and light infantry transports, loaded with heavy weapons under tarps, were used by Rhodesian forces (dressed in enemy attire) to infiltrate a terrorist training camp. Once there, they called everyone within the camp to gather around the trucks, which were made to look like supply trucks. Then they opened up at point blank range on the heathens. They estimated about 300 were killed, but they were not sticking around to count. The force then blew up a bridge under fire to stop any pursuit for a clean get a way. 4 men were wounded. What a movie this would make.
At about 53 minutes in there is an error when I attack the artillery, this has been corrected. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KzZuAMlrWmg.html I have also made a further modification such that artillery on its own only defends against ground forces at 20%, ie defend/5. This error fix and additional rule modification has been a long time coming.
The error is not the previous error. If you look from 32.35 you will see it works fine to commit the battle, but I then submit it again after, sending blank data across as the conflict has already been done. As such, I have removed the submi button after conflict has been done.
I have actually develpoed a broader stepped system, 3 up, 3 down, totalling 7 levels. The rules are here: www.modernwar.games/rules.php#R2.6 All thats left to do is create scenarios that use it in ernest.
You could probably co-ordinate that with my 500 subscriber special: It’s taken me 5 years to scrounge up the 240 or so subscribers that I have right now :P
Very interesting concept. Looking forward to trying once I get access to a computer this weekend. Reminds me of minesweeper a little. I read the about/rules and you really put a lot of thought into the different aspects of war. I look forward to trying this out and wishing you the best. Love that you enjoyed the chess in the newspapers. I’m 27, but even as a youngster enjoyed the chess and crosswords in the daily paper. A thinkers game for sure. 👍👍
Yes, Its been a while, but I saw quadratic equations in a newspaper, from about 1950 etc, but I dont remember where. Its a sign of the times where such things are clearly never going to be in any newspaper as a fun item.
Repulsive. A bunch of thugs in 1964 raped and murdered children and women. Dragged innocent people through the streets tied to the backs of trucks. Hacked innocent families to death. And you lot celebrate it. The Sultan would have stepped down if asked. You should be ashamed. Read the history of their cruel revolt. Babu and his criminal friends should have been executed. Your celebrations are disgusting.
No civil war took place unless you mean black September in 1970? Palestinian guerrilla or freedom fighter who were acting lawlessly high off the karama victory.but it wasn't a civil war
Yes, my narrative is pretty poor. I was thinking aloud when I said that. Essentially its based on the Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Karameh The scenario itself is accrate to that reference, but my RU-vid video isn't really a documentary, its just me talking. Its an interesting event, so maybe i'll do it again properly at some point. I am always learning.
Yes, we all want peace for your country, and good health for the people, clean water and food. We can only pray that the fighting will stop and you can rebuild your beautiful country.
