[@texasray5237]

Easily???? You wouldn't be forgetting a few things would you? Clearly you're talking about the Yom Kippur war of 73, when, yes, the Arabs attacked by surprise. But let's not forget that in 1967 it was the Israelis who attacked by surprise with unprovoked air raids against Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, virtually wiping out all their air forces on the ground. And turnabout is still fair play isn't it? And let's also not forget that Israel actually lost the war entirely by the end of the second day in 1973, except for one thing, Uncle Sam. _"In desperate need of rearmament, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir sent multiple appeals to the United States for military aid...Nixon, after huddling with National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger, ordered ...the American military to immediately bring the Israeli military back to its pre-invasion strength... “Operation Nickel Grass” constituted a resupply campaign that surpassed anything ever seen before - or since - in American history. U.S. military transports filled to the brim with weapons and supplies immediately took off for Israeli airbases, shadowed by American fighters with orders to shoot down any plane that appeared even remotely hostile. Quickly restocked with fresh American equipment, Israeli forces rapidly regained control of the battlefield."_ from "The Hill" a publication of Raytheon Corporation (A major US weapons manufacturer) When someone fights Israel, they are actually fighting the US. Israel is a proxy. A puppet force to take the blame and to serve as cannon fodder. The weapons, intelligence, transport, logistics, strategy, and master-plan decisions all come from the US. The proxy force is expendable, and can be sacrificed entirely giving the super-power time to react strategically. The Israelis, like the Ukrainians, are allowed and even encouraged to think of themselves as chosen-race super solders. That's exactly the type of delusion one wants from their proxy armies. Fanatical willingness to sacrifice themselves rather than retreat or make peace. So let's not claim that the Israelis won anything "easily". They lost the war almost immediately and then they were rescued by the US. The arabs didn't have any way to resupply their losses. So they never really stood a chance.

Considering Israel survived and remained intact despite being aggressively attacked, I would count that as a victory for Israel. The borders remain the same as before the war started, Isreal successfully defended its initial position.

[@airforce9872]

Plus at the very least, casualty estimates put Egypt's toll at double the Israeli's (if you take minimum Egyptian - 2800, maximum Israeli - 1400), and at the worst over 16 times the losses (max Egyptian - 10,000, minimum Israeli - 600). Similarly, worst case for Israel was a 1.5 kill ratio for aircraft downed (40 Israeli vs 60 Egyptian) and at best a 4.75 ratio (24 Israeli vs 114 Egyptian). Likelihood somewhere in the middle, so say around 8-10 times the casualties for Egypt and a 3-3.5 kill ratio for Israel. A huge win imo, especially without any territorial losses. Then factor in another victory in the Yom Kippur War, so that makes three defeats in a row for Egypt lol

[@moef1314]

It’s worth to check the US involvement in this war. They conducted Operation Nickel Grass to airlift more than 22,000 tons of military equipment to Israel during the course of the war to help save the day after the heavy losses they had on the Egyptian front during the first week of the war. Also the US sent it’s top tech U2 spy plane to photograph the Egyptians front lines to help Israel with the information in order to plan for the 2nd counter attack after the first one was crushed by the Egyptian troops on the 8th of October. Also it’s work to mention that 60,000 Russian troops and military experts where ordered to leave egypt few months before the war start. So the Russian involvement mentioned in this video is not entirely true. At the end I think this was very classic Cold War conflict.... it was not about Israel and Arabs... it was about US and Russian projecting power and trying their arsenals. Worth to mention... if you want to know who’s the real winner... look at the end result, Egypt managed to get Sinai back after this war.

But, to be completely honest with you, Egypt would be much stronger, especially in the light of the development drive of the Egyptian armed forces within the last couple of years.

Israel did not have better equipment until 1980es. Most of the tanks were upgraded obsolete tanks, many of whom were WWII surplus shermans, had some pattons, and centurions, also obsolete by 1973. While Egypt and Syria had T-62 and T-72s. For example, in battle of Valley of Tears in Golan they engaged few times during the night. Syrian tanks were equiped with night vision, while Israeli tanks were not, which was a huge disadvantage. Air force used to buy airplanes from France which imposed sanctions before 6 days war, so Israel had to start its own industry culminating with their own mirages, Nesher and Kfir, some phantoms and skyhawks started arriving shortly before the war (logistic nightmare, mix of french, american and israeli copies of french aircraft). As far as infantry weapons are concerned, it was mostly UZI SMGs, suplemented by FN FAL rifles, neither was suitable for the desert. Also Soviets supplied Egypt and Syria with most advanced SAMs and AT missiles they had. Only thing that worked in Israel's favor was better tactics, and more liberal command pyramid, junior officers in the field could do stuff without waiting for approval from higher command, so they were thinking on their feet. This stil plagues arab armies until today, too rigid command structure.

Absolutely correct. This is quite complex. The Arab inability to operate on their own plus their tribal loyalties, compared to Israeli self-reliance and field autonomy, is something that most people do not realise; let alone fighting for their families and homes (as jeffrey Koh said). Equipment superiority only came later after the shock of the '73 war and realisation that their complacency and arrogance after '67 almost lost them the Yom Kippur war (or Harb Tishrin) at the beginning. Poorly maintained equipment that resulted in field failure led to a massive review and modernisation of the IDF.
