The key to the initial Egyptian success was the lightly mentioned water pumps used to cut paths thru the sand dune banks. The IDF "knew" that it took 48 hours to cut a path with bulldozers and counted on that time to mobilize. An Egyptian BG irrigating his garden with a hose thought that it might be faster if they used large pumps and fire hoses and he was right - it took only 8 hours. Thus the IDF lost 40 hours of planned mobilization time

For an Egyptian account check out that of Shazli, the chief of staff (gives a clear order of battle for the armed forces). For an Israeli account, read that of Bren Adan, armoured division commander whose unit fought at Chinese Farm and crossed to the West Bank of the canal.

[@christophersmith5691]

For both sides the forces engaged were smaller than is at first apparent, reduced by cross deployments and attrition. For example the Israelis fought with only 5 small armoured divisions even after reserves were called up, though other units came south following the Golan defeat of the Arabs. The crossing of the canal was by a single reduced battalion of paratroopers. Vitally, the Israelis had always planned a canal crossing and trained accordingly, also they had acquired and prepared special bridging equipment, like the roller bridge towed by tanks. Their divisions were about the size of a NATO style brigade, their tank brigades the size roughly of a British army tank regiment after the reduction process of cross attachments and losses. On both sides there was a tendency to disperse forces into smaller 'packets' though high mobility on the Israeli side masked this

The Egyptian offensive on the 14th was launched despite the vehement objections of the Egyptian Chief of Staff, General Saed Al-Shazli. As he had forseen, Egyptian armor, now outside of the defensive AA net, was outmaneuvered by the IDF in the open desert and destroyed. Moreover, despite Al-Shazly's objections, the units utilized in the offensive were pulled from the armor reserves of the 2 armies, and attacked along 3 diffrent routes at the same time instead of concentrating their efforts. As an Israeli - General Al-Shazly was very well respected by the Israelis as a military mind, one of the few competent Egyptian commanders, even through the fiasco of the Six Day War. One of several military appointees by Saadat to the upper echelon of Egyptian command, designed to replace the overly potisized and largely incompetent officer corp brough there by Nasser and Amer. The canal crossing plan, with it's multiple factors, complicated time table and strategic intelligence deceptions - in particular, regarding the water cannons, that the Israelis utterly failed to comprehend the importance of - is credited to him.

A decisive part of why Israel's counter attack was successful that wasn't mentioned here was the fact that the Egyptians had no intention or preparation to continue marching through Sinai, they were only prepared to take over the 12 km east of the canal where they had air defense cover. and then to use diplomacy to sort the rest out, but they were pressured by the soviet union, who basically funded the whole thing, and by Syria, who played a major role distracting the IDF in the north, to continue marching and it almost cost them everything, they were stretched too thin against a far more superior army that had direct support from USA and they were exposed to air strikes. Israel also ignored the ceasefire later when they crossed the canal and encircled the 3rd div. The fact this ended the way it ended is a blessing and a miracle for Egypt.

[@everythingman987]

Your analysis is inaccurate and a coping mechanism. Egypt was well supplied by her oil rich neighbors and by the Soviets just as Israel was well supplied by the United States.

The forts were simply sand,there was only metal in our underground sleeping bunker.I could have told you they were bad.The 2 amazing things Egypt did were to get rid of the many embankment mines (maybe the water cannons did that) and the cannons themselves.Along with great Egyptian planning and bravery.

That wasn't the goal to begin with, the goal was to cross the Canal successfully, destroy the Bar Lev Line which was claimed to be "indestructible" at the time by Israeli and British Intelligence create a 10-15 km buffer zone in the Eastern side of the Canal, create a defensive umbrella against any air threats by deploying multiple Anti Air, force the Israelis in the offensive and hold that small buffer zone in the Eastern side of the Canal which all happened and successfully. The goal was to force the Israeli into negotiations, that was the plan all along, the war was just the first time to force the Israelis into the negotiation table and this was all mentioned in Sadat's journal. Militarily Egypt was winning during the first few days, and with Israel gaining the upper hand in the last few days, so it was more or less a draw militarily, but politically? It was definitely an Egyptian victory, cause we negotiated Israel to give back Sinai in return we recognise them. The goal was to regain Sinai through negotiations, and that's exactly what happened, so Egypt achieved their war goals, so we can say that the Egyptians won the war. Won the war of course Politically, cause Militarily it was more or less a draw than anything.
