To quote Brezhnev. We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, "Save me!" He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

@dennisweidner288 2 года назад

@@ahmedelsayed5159 What is funny and rather sad because so many Arabs say that Israel was the aggressor. The historical record is very clear. After Israel declared independence (May 1948), the large, well-established armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lnanon supported by other Arab states ignoring the U.N. Resolution on the partition of Palestine invaded Israel which at the time did not even have an army, and heavy weapons. Israel did not invade Egypt in 1948, nor did it invade Jordan, Syria, or Lebanon. The Arab-Israeli conflict is complicated with many twists and turns, charges, and counter changes. But who began the conflict is crystal clear to any literate person.

The Arabs still think they won that war. If I was in the Israeli command I would have wiped that army out and then continued until their fighting ability was absolutely gone. I realize that they might have not had the numbers but giving the Sinai back to Egypt was a mistake and a huge tactical error. It gave the Egyptian people a moral boost. You always always demoralize your enemy whenever you get the chance.

@sarahnade8663 2 года назад

Issue was that Egypt was receiving the backing of the Soviet Union at the time. So even if Israel chose to wipe their army out, Egypt would have just rebuilt and tried again 10 years later. Remember, the whole goal with Israel isn't that they are trying to conquer everyone and control the middle east, they are aiming to acquire what the parts of land they consider to be that of their ancestors and to not get driven into the sea. For that reason, giving back the Sinai to placate the Egyptians so they could focus on settling the far more culturally significant west bank makes sense.

Israel should have never given the Sinai back. The Arabs were the aggressors in the Yom Kippur War. I understand the desire for peace that came from it, but Egypt is still a hot bed for anti-Israeli sentiment.

@sarahnade8663 2 года назад

Think of it from Israel's perspective. They were *this* close to having their whole country overrun and their families being genocided. After such a close call they just wanted peace. Not to mention that Israel had also conquered Gaza, the west bank and the Golan heights. They already had major colonisation efforts underway and the west bank is far more historically significant to the Jews then the Sinai. So it made sense to give the Sinai back to Egypt to secure a longer lasting peace and let them focus on colonising the far more culturally important west bank.

I would like to know more about the personalities in the Syrian high command. Who ordered that the bridging equipment be in the rear during the attack on the tank ditch after years of planning? It sure wasn't any Soviet advisor.

The centurion tank was the best tank on the battlefield especially with the BRITISH L 7 105 mm gun..

Which was so good the Americans used it on their first Abrams..funny they don't mention that. An Arabs always start these wars .but the brave sons of David fight like lions and win.

Patriot missiles in the hand of israelis or europeans can intercept incoming missiles well but Patriot in the hand of saud couldn't intercept a cheap outdated missile of houthis. They aren't good in sophisticated weapons

@gordonfrickers5592 2 года назад

Similar to the famous Sherman tank which the Germans with grim humour called "Tommy Cookers".

@brennanleadbetter9708 2 года назад

@Gordon Frickers not when they added wet ammo. Fires were greatly reduced. Shermans also had among the lowest casualty rate of the war of about 2%. You want a tank that’ll turn the crew into barbecue, then that’s the T-34.

Excellent report. I would have liked to have heard how the Israeli's were re-armed and re-fueled.

@גלעדרוטר Год назад

very important to know; israel didn't thought that the ordinary forces can to stop the egyptain army in real war, the mission of the ordinary israeli force - was to slow the egyptain army and give a time to reserve force to arrive to the front

@danshomron02 Год назад

Who on earth advised the Egyptians to dig in their tanks ? . By doing so, they literally lost every form of Manoeuvrability which is very key in tank warfare .

@michaelchiesa6142 2 года назад

Fascinating docco... Fighting from a tank in the heat of a northern summer in the desert, air conditioning or ensuite unlikely, must be quite a character building experience... The Arab's rarely live up to their delusional grandiose rhetoric... I myself have traveled through Egypt with two very capable companions, a woman from Scotland and a woman from Germany... Traveling through an Arab country is challenging, what with their attitudes towards women and "infidel" westerners... Fortunately myself and my travel mates, despite witnessing the occasional horror story, avoided through cautious/common sense behaviour, a lot of potential drama... Best wishes from Qld, Australia...
