[@mando73204]

Yea and they retreaded in the end 😂

I see a lot of nationalism and subjectivism on both sides in the comments, but the facts are what they are: the only ones who lost this war were the Syrians. Egypt demonstrated that it could be capable of carrying out a successful offensive against Israel, after years of preparation and making excellent use of the infantry with its anti-tank weapons (the Israeli army made the serious mistake of making a military doctrine in which they prioritized the use of tanks without the necessary support from infantry and artillery). But, the truth is that after crossing the canal and establishing defensive positions several kilometers from the canal, the Egyptians also made the inexplicable mistake of not maintaining their push into the Sinai (something that, together with Syrian pressure, would have left Israel vulnerable), giving the Israeli army time to organize, repel the Syrians in the North, stop all the Egyptian assaults launched late and then organize a counter-offensive that managed to cross the channel (using, now yes, the support of the infantry to clear the way for the tanks) and that if it had not been for international pressure from the USSR and the United States, they would have managed to surround the rest of the Egyptian troops that were defending the other side of Sinai and incidentally leave them to at the mercy of aviation (the attack created an opening in the anti-aircraft umbrella) or unable to prevent an advance towards Cairo that would have ended in disaster. It is more than obvious that the Yom Kippur War is a total draw (despite the fact that in this documentary, they want to give the title of winners to the Egyptians), the two sides had successes and failures on the battlefield, however Israel manage to overcome the score at the end; However, more than a military victory, it ended up being a diplomatic victory for both sides, since the two of that technical tie were able to restore their martial pride and at the same time sign a treaty that benefited them mutually, except for Syria (as I said above, the only loser), since the only reason Israel wanted the Sinai was to keep the attacks away from its border, a danger that ended with the final peace with Egypt and in turn the only thing Egypt wanted was to recover the Sinai, achieved it by recognizing Isreal, they both won (no one can say that they are above the other).

[@beingsane]

​@@serahyasona8461Free Palestine. Why this Jewish state was not built in the US of America ? As of the 1930s, the Jewish population in the United States was estimated to be around 4.2 million. Meanwhile the Jewish population in British Mandate Palestine experienced significant growth due to Jewish immigration from Europe. According to historical estimates, by the late 1930s, there were approximately 400,000 to 450,000 Jews living in British Mandate Palestine. This demographic shift played a significant role in the development of the region's demographics and ultimately had an impact on the political dynamics that led to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. When majority of the Jews were in USA why not give them a state there its simple 4,200,000 in USA vs 400,000 in Palestine. In simple words "Why was the State of Israel not established in the United States, where the Jewish population was much larger than in British Mandate Palestine during the 1930s?" Why come and live in a place where supposedly everyone is their enemy?

I doubt its truthfulness. They chose Amnon Reshef out of all people to be the front man of this video, and it casts heavy doubts on it. I heard from one of the soldiers under his command a more accurate version of the truth. Could have been better to just let a lower ranking (at the time) soldier or even officer to tell what Amnon Reshef said, and it would be one difference between truth and lie. In other words, in addition to what Amnon Reshef hid in this video, the experiences he shares are other people's experiences. Most of the time, a colonel sits in a much safer position than his subordinates.

It was not mentioned but a big reason why the fighting stopped was because of political pressure from the USA and USSR on Israel and Egypt respectively. America was supporting and supplying Israel militarily and the USSR was doing the same with Egypt. In effect, it was a proxy war between the USA and USSR. American and Soviet military advisors were also on the ground and there was the fear that it would get to the stage where American and Soviet military personnel would get dragged into the fighting as well. This was something the 2 superpowers did not want and brokered a ceasefire.

I remember all of President Sadat's problems with the Soviets until he had enough of them and expelled them from Egypt before the war began. The Soviet Union wanted the situation to remain as it is and did not want Egypt to launch a war to restore its occupied lands. It was asking them repeatedly for weapons not like those serving in the Soviet army, but to make it even after Israel steps And they were meeting him with refusal for 5 years. Sadat asks them for weapons that contain technology, and the Soviets refuse and say we will provide you with defensive weapons and not offensive in nature. Weapon models. So old that they stipulated that Sadat should not use these weapons without their permission, knowing that Egypt was paying the price of this weapon to the Soviet and Arab countries and stopped spare parts before the outbreak of the war Until Sadat came to the conclusion that the Soviets did not care about the occupation of the lands of Egypt and all that concerned them was their interest with America until he expelled all the Soviet experts before the start of the war.

[@shipless33]

The Sherman was redesigned by Israel and became known as the M-50 and M-51. In the States they were referred to as "Super Shermans. They were ulimately outfitted with 105 mm cannons which required a comprehensive turret design change. They were given a diesel engine and heavier armor. Actually, a few Shermans were used in the '73 war mostly in the Golan but a few in the south as well. Near Gaza I spoke with one of the tank commanders as he stood in the turret. In the first days of the '73 war four companies of Shermans (and Centurions) stopped Syrian T-62s and T-55 tanks and pushed Iraqi Tanks back into Syria. It should be noted that while state of the art equipment is an advantage, it is the manpower that ultimately makes the difference as was displayed with the tanks both in '67, where T-62 tanks (which were the most advanced at the time), lost to Israeli Shermans, and '73 as well. Shermans were still around in '77 when I was a an instructor at a tank firing range in southern Israel. Those commanders were amazing in that they gafawed at the modern range finding equipment of the M 60 series of tanks -- they would use a raised thumb! and hit just as successfully. Don't ask me how, I haven't a clue.

The whole bunker. the insurgent Serbs and the JNA were shooting from the vineyards and we showered them with machine gun fire. some stayed lying down and others ran away. I looked at the window where Maljutka hit. lay on the ground, only the top exploded and 2/3 remained whole. Cumulative rocket only affects metal. Lucky for us in the bunker though once we got a whole pack of 30 and some rocket from the plane hit the bunker and scratched it slightly. Croatian independence war. We Croats also had several T-55s that went to the mountain above Knin, the capital of the rebels, in 2 m of snow. In front of them, the bulldozers went and cleared the way. They overwintered hidden there for more than a year. When the storm started, they fired at Knin and went down and brought the town into semi-encirclement. Tactics with which we broke the resistance of the majority of rebel Serbs and the JNA in two days.

Although this video is well produced it is inaccurate both geographically and contextually. No mention is made of the fact that the surprise attack occurred on one of the most holy days in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur. It would be the equivalent of Israel attacking an Arab nation on Ramadan. It would have been rightfully condemned by the world as a dastardly act. No condemnation of the Arab attack took place. No mention of the fact that the Israeli Intelligence raised the matter of Egyptian troop maneuvers with their American friends to be told not to worry, that it was only training exercises once more. A fatal mistake. How many times does the video have to show the Israeli soldier saying it felt like the whole Negev was trembling. So redundant. The war ended with the Egyptian third army completely surrounded and cut off from their supply lines, Prisoners of War, thirsty and hungry, humiliated and relying on Israeli compassion to allow UN help to save their lives. This humiliating defeat after an initial encouraging start to their war is omitted from the Arab narrative of the war trying to paint what was a humiliating defeat as a victory. It forced Sadat to accept Israel's existence, give up military aspirations and negotiate a peace settlement with Israel. Something Israel was prepared for all along. It was a wake up call for Israel and a morale downer but ultimately a stunning Israeli victory which forced the reality of the need for negotiations for Peace on Sadat.
