Exelent video for 20min, worth more than that.
And for those looking for the aljazeera documentary, its called 'The War in October'
@@SaunKrystian it's cheaper to destroy them then ship them back to the U.S.
The new graphics are much easier to decipher. I appreciate the recent clarity.
Thank you
@@KingsandGenerals While I also do appreciate the nice 3d animations you got going on, there really need to be more detailed maps. Showing cities, attack routes, MSR's, and the sites of the major battles. Rather than just moving around the unlabeled icons, why not use the standard NATO symbols for echelons/units and keep them labeled accordingly. Would make the entire viewing much more easier to follow.
true, it was easier to follow this time with both 3D unit representations and lines drawn.
This graphics looks like a game I used to play.
@@1kyleabc yeah, I agree
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
It took 6 hours to cross the Suez though, not 8.
@@BirdiesGoCherp That was the assault boats. It took 2 more hours to get to the point that pontoon bridges could start assembling - without those it would have been just a raid.
They attack when majority israeli are in homes to celebrate yom kippur, the frontline is not garrison enough.
Israel is too op
@Chams Ali do you mean 33k egyptian soldier against 500 israeli infantry and 50 tank? Egyptian armed with anti tank controlled missile saga best anti tank in the world at the time.

@Nir Hakimian Are you Israeli?

@Me Do Egyptians still believe in Arab nationalism? It seems like a rare thought these days
@Me thank god. soon our country will be united and free from cairo to baghdad
@Nir Hakimian "a racist ideology that reward its believers with sex when they murder and steal land and holy places from others." aka JEWS
What's crazy is that the intelligence officer who told high command that Egypt wouldn't attack was being told by several of his subordinates that Egypt was DEFINITELY going to attack. But he ignored them. Oops
but, but, why would anyone suspect an attack from a rival nation that hates you and has attacked you several times before??,,, c'mon, no one would suspect that, so who could blame him from ignoring his subordinates??? errrm, are we sure the intelligence officer was not Egyptian? Either that or he went to the General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett school for military intelligence.
@@shareefqb
I did not understand your comment?
It was more complex than what the video said besides Israel was warned by former Egyptian president son in law. However they were arrogant they thought they egybtons cant go throw the line.
Hindsight is 20-20.
If you would go back to that era you would understand the Israeli political and military mentality, as well as that of the general public. They had their reasons to doubt an Egyptian invasion.
The worst enemy comes from within .
My dad was a young Egyptian soldier here. He moved to London and married my English mum three years after this war. He only told me bits of what happened. He graduated from university with first degree honours in psychology and sociology then straight to the army. He died last month so I'm trying to understand more about his history. Very great video thank you so much
Many information in this war not true
Your dad is a hero. May he rest in peace.
My late grandpa also took part in that war but on the Israeli side. That bugger immediately rushed to join the fight when the war broke out despite being considered crippled (on paper) after he got grenade shrapnel to the head in a previous war.

Syria had the numerical superiority and the moment of surprise , despite this they still were pushed back into Syria and the Israeli army managed to come close enough to Damascus to shell the city with artillery. .

Israel: Wins decisively despite initial setbacks, still fires people for those setbacks
Egypt: Yay victories!
I meam even thoguh Israeli won military it is still somewhat counts (idk how to say it in English) loss/tragedy in Israel because of the government being so unprepared for the war and the great loss of lives. Which led to a revolution from the right wing party the Likud and got them elected for the first time. This protest against the government started when soilders from the front came home and wanted answers why was the government so unprepared for this fight and sent them to die and left others in the forts to die because of such bad planning.

@@albericrex9005 Dude I'm Egyptian too, but really it was Israel that won that war, Egypt really lost and all that propaganda was about us being able to cross that defence line and without the interference of the Americans and the Soviets Israel would have destroyed Cairo making it the nearly end of our country.

@@No-de6wt thieves will always be blind to the truth. Satans chosen people, “god gave us this land” it says in this book that was written by man. And therefore we can commit atrocities against those who aren’t like us. What rubbish, Ashkenazi Jews have no semetic lineage back to Palestine. Go back to Poland and Germany.
Really mindboggling how the Egyptian defeat was spun into a victory.
They did recive the sinai back a short while after the war which kinda gives some legitimacy to the idea i guess. Not saying they won or anything though.
To be fair, Egypt DID eventually get everything they wanted, with the return of Sinai to their possession. So in a sense, they were more successful than they could have possibly dreamed. All it cost them was a recognition of the legitimacy of Israel.
@@matrix3509 I would say they were military defeated but territorially benefited
Well, the Sadat's objective of this war was to restore some pieces of Sinai and at the end of the war he restored THE WHOLE SINAI!!
If that's not a victory I don't know what a victory by your definition is, wars are not just won on by weapons you know??!

@Hamza ForChrist Make sure they visit Suez and Ismailia
Egypt won .. there's no barlive line .. Sinai is Egyptian land ..
The Egyptian army forces in the Sinai were 100 km from Tel Aviv and 90 km from Jerusalem. This is the result of Egypt's victory in the Yom Kippur War, which forced Israel to return Sinai to Egypt, insisting on the Israeli lie that their army won the Yom Kippur War and that it was 100 km from Cairo in the Yom Kippur War. Of course, they take advantage of people's lack of knowledge of distances. Because the distance from the Suez Canal to the outskirts of Cairo is about 100 kilometers, originally.

If I had had access to such quality educational materials (and the internet), I don't think I would have hated history so much. In the past, it always felt like I just had to memorize a series of chronological events. This video helped me to understand the motivations, and also gives me some history on names I've always known, but didn't understand why they were famous.
Couldn't agree more. When people say they think history is "boring" it's almost always that they had a boring (or simply insufficiently supported and equipped) teacher... I tell them "history is everything that every happened anywhere until the moment you read/hear what i'm saying" - but as you say if you just get a list of names, dates, and places, without any stories or context to add color, it not only makes that specific course boring, but often puts people off history permanently, when history is essential for understanding the present and future.
@@teejayaich4306ty god i watched history on tv and other places since young or i probably wouldn't have liked it, in my history classes more often was about the kings names and like their daily life and some other "culture stuff" while completly ignoring or barely touching on the world events, i went back to see, ww1 was done in 3 pages fml...
Yeah, history is convoluted, with lots of dark and grey areas. So we cobble the best we can and allow speculation to run rampant. I think you see the result and try to cobble together an explanation without the privilege of backstory.
Awesome Production Quality. Spot on Historical Accuracy. The best History Channel by far

@@engodiab the losses on every side is allways awful no matter which side you choose too support. My point is that these topixs were shunned in history class because the topic was to toxic among everyone, one choose one side and someone another. History should be taught no matter who won or lost.

Pretty balanced. However, it is unfair to detail Operation Badr's plan with no praise to its mastermind, Colonel Elshazly.
lMAO dude stfu he is just a loser who says that he did everything in the plan like there wasn't any one in the army except him
@@Aro_2002 General El=shazly never said that, however, yes.. he was the mastermind behind the whole plan. This claim is supported by evidence already published globally like Guide-book no.41 .
His achievements DIRECTLY lead the Egyptian army to success during the crossing.
@@eldeebcampeador The problem was Sadat was a political schemer, who undermined the hard work of Shazly and Egyptian army.
When the Israelis crossed the canal Shazly had plans to deal with them. But he got undone by Sadat's political ambition.
@Ahmed Sayed Shazly planed to move 4 armored brigades back across the canal to deal with the Israeli threat.
I have his book in front of me 'crossing of the suez - chapter 11 - dealing with enemy penetration. '
Sadat disallowed it because he was worried it would make him look bad.
@@TheAhmadhatem I respect El Shazly but crossing the tanks and the infantry after destroying the fortified bar liv is something any general will do but in my opinion his mistake is crossing of the anti air system all at once
Arab states in 1948: All of us against one fledgling Jewish nation? Easy peasy, definitely don't need to coordinate on military strategy on this one.

Please do Yugoslav Wars. Then you will see a comment war.
that would b a shit show, just from illustrating the changing maps, as well as the numbers of dead due to ethnic cleansing on all sides.. (the muslims killing serb villages outside screbrenicza UN safe zone and the range of deaths from screbrenicza massacre by the serbs in july 95; was it 2000 or 8000 dead killed that day? often the other 6000 dead are reported to be combatants who died in fighting previous to the july massacre of muslim men by bosnian serb forces)
Yugoslav people are just fine together,but once they start talking about politics and 90's shit storm is inevitable
@@patrickcummins79 actually the un intervention was relatively successful at least compared to what there doing in the Middle East and Africa.
James Livingston your comment is a shit show, you obviously have no idea what happened given your synopsis of srebrenica.
Mixer not really, look into which civilians were killed 4 to 1, and then you wouldn’t equalize all armies and their atrocities on the same level.
The fact that IDF decided to cross the canal while territory was not secured on their own side gave me thrills
Yeah, they left it, they didnt care to fight it as it gave no real threat.
Egypt were practically fighting nothing there, so Israel focus on going deep into Egypt.
well, they said it was already planned, i guess they knew that omce the bridge was up, the rest would be easy.
Since egyptian air-defence umbrella covers only limited range over the east of the canal, the egyptian divisions that crossed the cancal can't head deep into Sinai otherwise they would have been vulnurable to the israeli air attacks.
Israeli were confident that they won't move further from their location.
I just find this war utterly hilarious because I have a buddy literally named Hafez Al-Assad.

Why does Arab armies needs to combine everytime they go out to war against tiny Israel ?? What is it they fear so much ? Its just a small country
Lol It’s not about the size of the countries, it’s about the weapons and during the previous wars Israel always had far better equipped army than all the arab armies combined together
@@most_97The first few wars were genuinely impressive. No matter what side you are on, the Israeli victory was impressive. They had less equipment and less trained men. As a lot of people have said, the Arabs were fighting for pride, but the Israelis were fighting for their life. Israeli persistent morale won them the war.
@@sythanytx How do you believe that Israel used to have less equipment and less trained men ? Which war do u exactly mean ? As far as I know that never happened, there have never been any symmetry between both sides.….I’m sorry but your words are just a promotion to the Israeli historical propaganda which always shows Israel as the noble warrior who despite having less capabilities always defeats his coward wicked enemies while in fact Israel is always the one that start the aggression. The Arabs were fighting for the liberation of their stolen lands not just pride as you claimed
@@most_97 I said the first few wars. Israeli troops were underequipped. Also, the arabs were trained by the British in the FIRST FEW WARS. They had less weapons per soldier in the FIRST FEW WARS, thus they were underequipped. In fact, the supplies they initially got weren't that good either. You're calling me an Israeli propogandist. First of all, I wrote the comment saying that it was impressive how Israel won NO MATTER WHICH SIDE YOU ARE ON. I was describing factors that led Israel to victory. Also, the "stolen land" section is just a common Palestinian lie. This land was given to the British because they defeated the Ottomans. The Ottomans had no business joining the first world war, but since they lost, they lost land. Not stolen. The British divided this land into 2 sections for ARABS AND JEWS. The arabs got the entire transjordan territory and even the modern day Palestinian territory. They were ungrateful and wanted the entire thing. Israel was forced to fight them. Do you really think a country wanted to be harassed by its neighbours? In doing this, Israelis were forced to fight for their lives. I don't know much about mental stuff, but when you gotta fight for your life, you'll definitely fight better than you ever have. The arabs lost and lost land to the Israelis. NOT STOLEN, THEY LOST A WAR THAT THEY CAUSED. In fact, most arabs in Israel don't want to leave, because they know that Israel is a much better peace keeper. Study the history of the first few wars between Israel and the arab nations before you write down a full essay about why I'm a propogandist.
The reasons Israel always wins. 1) Brilliant strategy. 2) Brilliant tactics. 3) Superior air forces including missile defenses. 4) Fighting spirit. 5) US support. 6) God's protection.
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.
Michael i completely agree with you al sadat was just a jerk he ruined his plan just for your nation luck we have always such losers as naser and al sadat but anyways I respect your opinion
Michael- Just a note. The offensive on the 14th was an attempt to tie the Israelis down and keep them from transferring forces to Syria in the North where the situation was dire for Israel at that moment. Luckily the Syrians and Egyptians didn't communicate honestly with each other. Once the Israelis got resupplied and took care of anti air defenses the Egyptian forces didn't stand a chance.
@@Alkes777 That's the stupid reason Sadat told about it, Israel was already had a better position on north front before 14th so no need to transfer more forces there anyway.
You can't assume Israel could have destroyed AA guns because they tried and failed miserably so they stopped trying till Sadat gave them this gift.
@@mrpirate4100 True, they couldn't take out the AA from the air. So they were being taken out with ground forces before "Sadat's gift". I know this first hand.
@@Alkes777 By the 14th, the Syrians were almost completely beaten back from the Golan, and the IDF was concentrating forces for an assault into Syria proper, some 40 kms from Damascus. The Egyptian offensive was partly a political move to help ease of the pressure from the Syrians.
I love the new graphics for all military units and the 3/4 arial view. They really add to making already great videos even greater! Looking forward to seeing more of these for (ancient) historical battles as well :)
Thanks!
Man, I like your videos, you are doing what the History Channel fails to do
The Arabs ability to turn their initial success into a resounding defeat is quite remarkable.

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.
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

A few comments show peace-lovers, all respect for them.
I will differ. As an Israeli soldier who was in the second most northern fort on the Canal ("Mexico A") we used to yell across in the early morning to the Egyptian soldiers and they yelled back in a friendly banter, no real hate.We felt bad for them that our service was 3 long years and they did 5 years! 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. Luckily we had left the canal a few months earlier and were in Gaza but when the war started we moved into Syria.

First of all I'd like to say that this channel was already good and it's getting better and better! The comment section isn't a burning hell like a battle field and that's great too (at least what I saw).
I'd like to add few informations about the Algerian military reinforcements and feat in battle:
50 aircrafts (MIG17, 21,Su7),96 tanks, 12 artillery canons, 16 anti-aircraft canons, 32 armored vehicles and about 3119 men (officers and troopers). Algerian army was present during the war with its 8th armored division.
One of the biggest victories of Algerian forces was the victory of the port of 'adabiya', where they were tasked by the Egyptian HQ to guard it, the general Eli Azar lost during a well established counter offensive from algerians. He said on the year of 73 "what happened at adabiya was a result of overconfidence and a big underestimating of Algerian military forces by general Ariel Sharon" since Sharon ordered Azar to lead the offensive. Israel lost 172 tanks and 900 men. This victory was also a result and a proof of good intelligence work and disinformation from the allied side.

Can we get an Episode on the" Football War" between El Salvador and Honduras,
Oversimplified music starts-
That would be a great April Fool's video.
That would be amazing! Kings and Generals should do more under represented wars like those.
I'm going to try to explain why the majority of Egyptians view this as a victory, and this is not for the flame wars it's for people who are interested in history. Okay so first it's very easy to view this as a defeat from the Egyptian pov if you only look at the losses relative to the Idf, but war is much more complex than that and goes beyond the dimensions of the actual battlefield. The video is actually very informative but the Egyptian side is never actually accurately portrayed. The targets for the war were to retrieve Sinai, and only that. While Israel's goal was to keep Sinai and consolidate their control there, hence the Barlev line which proved to be a disaster.
You must also put things into relative proportions, Sinai is a small part of Egypt, it has only 0.6% of the Egyptian population as of today. A very small part of the whole Egyptian army was used in the battle but relative to the size of the entire Israeli army it might seem large. Reserves were never called for duty, even the forces that were deployed on the Sinai peninsula mostly stayed back and were never used and you can see that in even the U.S. sources. Budget-wise the war did not cost Egypt as much as it did for Israel, the expenditure on the Barlev line and air force were far more than make-shift bridges and water hoses. In addition, as many of the comments mentioned Egypt was very under prepared and for good reason, it had relatively just fought for independence (as opposed to being handed land for free) and been through a couple of revolutions as well as not having rich allies like the USA, so the equipment and supplies were short, but that also meant it did not cost the Egyptian side that much in comparison. There is a very good reason most of Egypt's equipment were air defense and not offensive equipment, this was never an attack but a counter attack to regain Sinai, and what was the result, Sinai was regained almost entirely by Egypt except for Taba which was regained a few years later through international court. I think the reason many people view this as a loss is also due to the fact they think Egypt and Syria, as well as the majority of the Arab world are one, but that is very untrue. Egypt is its own country with its own interests and Syria is another. In fact, the two governments had a big fallout after this war because Egypt never pressed on. It was not their in their plans to press on, but in fact, the opposite.
This is the more important part that goes beyond the actual battle itself, see, Egypt nowadays receives direct military aid from the USA and less direct military aid from Russia, few countries can do that. Egypt is actually Israel's biggest ally in the middle east right now. Despite most Egyptians disliking this fact, it's very smart due to the geopolitics of Egypt. Egypt has AN ABUNDANCE of natural gas, but very few customers, let alone capable customers. Libya already has enough resources, Sudan does not need that much energy let alone have infrastructure to take it in, and the rest of potential buyers are too remote with no pipes in between (A good read would be about the novel conflict about the gas pipes in the Mediterranean). With this alliance however, Egypt is the biggest importer of gas to Israel and also imports a lot to Jordan, and STILL has an abundance of natural gas which it does not know what to do with.
There are other people that say Israel's biggest victory was getting recognition from Egypt and other Arab states(states that never even participated in any of the wars) after the war in the camp david accords, but they would have returned Sinai before the Barlev line fell then. Also, Egypt never had intentions to push further, evident by the reliance on defensive systems and not even pushing the SAM systems beyond the initial advance. They were going to get recognition eventually anyways due to economic and then political reasons. In addition, and despite this being very unethical in my point of view but most of the casualties on the Egyptian side were not economically significant due to the relative size of the actual army, nor did it affect the capability of the armed forces (that never even fully mobilized towards Sinai). Even most of the equipment used was very cheap, except for the air defense systems which, remember, did not advance. The outcome of the war however enabled Egypt to advance its military and have the ability to purchase hardware from different superpowers, that, alongside the economical benefits and soft power it enjoys today (recently of course affected by the latest revolution), was definitely a victory. They got their entire land back, they got their military and political aid, they got their trade routes. I hope it makes more sense now.
The thing I appreciate the most though is that that war is over and I hope it stays that way. I hate it when some people treat this as a sport, it really isn't.

Many delusional Arabs are claiming that this war ended with Egypt's victory. It very amuses me to read that type of message. At the end of Yom Kippur Egyptian third army was standing trapped situation, IDF had stopped 50mile from Cairo. And Israel gave back to Sinai to Egypt in 1979, not 1973 with a joint consensus. Moreover, the Soviet Union was more aided Arabs than the USA helped Israel. All Arabic armies used the newest Soviet technology SAMs and antitank guns at that war.
Plus:
Egypt broke their own policy of the three No's
No peace
No recognition
No negotiation
They broke all 3 . Therefore it's a cumshot in Egypt's face.
no not many a lot know that we were winning until stupid decisions but do not worry another day will come and we will remove the disgusting
Zionist entity out of the map
For people who claim "the main objective of the war for Egypt was to get troops to cross the canal and hold ground on the other bank in order to start negotiations therefore Egypt won":
In that case Egypt lost, because Israel crossed the Canal and were 1,600km^2 away from Cairo. Should the UN did not ring the bell, Egypt would have been pushed entirely out of Sinai and even lose more territory.
I have a feeling that you guys are all programmed to repeat the ''100 km away from Cairo'' statement, thinking of it as a great achievement, without understanding the situation. Do you know that the Egyptian army right now is almost 100 km away from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, as it stands at Rafah?
After the counter-attack, as the IDF managed to cross the Suez canal to occupy its western bank, it received double defeats in Suez city and Ismailia and failed to occupy them and was forced to be stationed on the south-western side of the Suez canal, which is ''100 km away from Cairo''.
On the other hand, the Egyptian army managed to occupy the whole eastern side of the Suez canal after the crossing and the destruction of the Bar-Lev line, which remained occupied by the Egyptian army until the end of the war, with exception of the Deversoir air base.
@@faithfulsoldier519Excellent point 👏. What they also fail to mention is that Sharon fled Suez to KM 101. It's not like her occupied anything in between.

Israel won again
Operation Badr (The Crossing) was a decisive Egyptian success. The air strike was largely successful, with loss of 8 (out of 205) war planes at most -the 40 narrated (actually 48) was over the whole war! Egyptian infantry men crossed a water barrier, overtook the high ground, neutralised all but 1 of the IDF fortifications (Budapest), established defensive bridgeheads, implemented anti-tank weaponry to unprecedented success, overwhelmed the IDF initial defensive plan (Dovecote), and successfully blocked the second coordinated armoured attack by 2 superior tank divisions. Not to mention a successful naval blockade, and the air defence umbrella that completely neutralised the IAF over the battle ground. The sand barrier that costed hundreds of millions of dollars was overcome by water pumps! In less than 2 days, 90 thousand men crossed into Sinai with minimal losses.
The plan was strategic, and did not aim to retake Sinai but to cross the canal and established an open war front on the eastern bank. All targets were achieved on time and again with unbelievably minimal losses. The later failures of the war were attributed to the political interference by Sadat, enforcing a further poorly planned offensive (to relieve the syrian front) that led to devastating losses and allowed the success of Operation Abirey-Halev with US support, AKA Operation Nickel Grass. This is a completely different story, and the Egyptian Army Chief of Staff , Colonel Elshazly, firm opposition to it lead to his dismissal only 2 months after the war.
Fair comment. Thanks.

big woop. Egypt has massive amounts of equipment from the USSR and engaged in a vast intelligence campaign in order to catch Israel off guard. and yet even with every advantage, no CONCEIVABLE way of failing, they still got bloodied horribly and failed to make the massive gains that Israel had made when the situation was reversed less than a decade prior.

Sinai is Egypt's, but Egypt has no more it's 3 N's. Cry about it.
@@y.l7455 Thats great. Because that means Egypt no longer has uncompromising incompetent imbeciles running it.

10,500 shells in a minute???!!!! No wonder Egypt's army is the most feared in Africa
That would have to be 2100-2600 artillery pieces firing at full speed. Crazy.

Wow
Egyptian army? It was all gifts we Soviets gave them. Never again
@@Youssef-iq4wq Final situation on the Egyptian front
By the end of the war, the Israelis had advanced to positions some 101 kilometres from Egypt's capital, Cairo, and occupied 1,600 square kilometres west of the Suez Canal.[242] They had also cut the Cairo-Suez road and encircled the bulk of Egypt's Third Army. The Israelis had also taken many prisoners after Egyptian soldiers, including many officers, began surrendering in masses towards the end of the war.[243] The Egyptians held a narrow strip on the east bank of the canal, occupying some 1,200 square kilometres of the Sinai.[243] One source estimated that the Egyptians had 70,000 men, 720 tanks and 994 artillery pieces on the east bank of the canal.[244] However, 30,000 to 45,000 of them were now encircled by the Israelis
@ Kings and Generals, your doc on the Yom Kippur War of 1973 was outstanding. Did not realize how successful the Egyptians were at the start of this conflict.
Thanks!
and until the end even if they didn't keep the level of success but they achieved the goal of the war returned their land and won it over all
@@رسائلتاريخية-ل6س Israel gave Sinai back and made Egypt recognize and respect Israel sovereignty as a country by force.
@@asura2877
No, are you naive or idiot no one in the real world do that with flowers that's not the things work, the war is the only to get back an occupied land.
If Egypt not won the war in Sinai ,they would never return it back like Syrian land that they still occupied it so. You're clearly make yourself look very stupid and have no clue about politics.
@@asura2877defeated you in Suez, Ismilia, Mansoura, Talia, Mt. Mariem, Qantara Sharq, bombed Tel Aviv with Kelt missiles stop coping
I may add something, the Arabs (majority Muslim ) were also fasting due to Ramadan during the war , that’s how much they had confidence
Their confident still wasn't enough tho to defeat Israel
@kingsandGenerals 3:19 Sadat never tried to make peace with Israel as he denied talking to Golda Meir (Israeli PM) simply because he did not recognize Israel. He tried the US to communicate the offer to Israel, who was ready to take it, but they needed formal talks and Egyptian recognition of their sovereignty, and Sadat was not ready to do so.
I think this is not nuance, it is essential information for accurate context.
sadat wanted to make peace in 1971 without any war for sinai and in the middle of the war , isreal asked for deal while egypt had the upper had . anyway you need to come to sinai were i am right now it's lovely
The Egyptian casualties in air forces in the first strike in 6th. October 1973 afternoon were officially 8 aircrafts out of 205.
later along the fighting days in the war it reached 48 as you said.
Kings and Generals, never disappoints. 👏🙏.
I actually thought that the Egyptians managed to go much deeply into Sinai. It's clear now that they just crossed the channel and advanced a bit. They never came anywhere near an Israeli city.
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.
How could Egypt destroy Israel and the USA is there ??
Egypt finished the war in three days after that she faced the USA alone
@MohamedEmad-nx2sq Haha USA wasn't there. Learn your history.
@@johnthinkpad USA wasn't there ???? And you tell me to learn history 😂 no comment lol just go and hear what Israeli commanders said about the war lol
@MohamedEmad-nx2sq Show me in the video here where "USA was there". Learn history moron.
I'm glad Israeli forces won the war. It is a matter of admiration that a small nation compared to Egypt had so much success in the battlefield and managed to occur so many losses to the enemy.
Israel lost Sinai and Egypt only stopped when the US intervined directly in the war. Egypt defeated Israel but can't defeat the US
Top military academies such as West Point and its counterparts in Russia, UK and China teaches to this day middle eastern conflicts as how modern warfare should be waged. They focus heavily on Israeli tactics but alsoYom-Kipur failures and how Arabs made their surprise attack.
Doubtful
@@luisromanlegionaire If I made you think that I gave an opinion than you're wrong. It was a statement.
@@allan7380 saying its studied and saying its used to teach how to fight modern conflicts are two very different things. it is mostly studied as a case in what not to do.
@@allan7380 I was about to respond to Luis. Thank you for beating me to the punch. Anyone who belittles the incredible tank battles (to choose just one weapon) in the Israeli Arab wars is going to have a huge gap in their military education.
Moshe dayan: THE BARLEV LINE IS THE STRONGEST DEFENSIVE LINE IN THE WORLD AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR EGYPT TO DESTROY IT OR EVEN CROSS THE CANAL
** litarly 6 hours after te first airstrike** Moshe dayan : we are doomed
"By deception we war" - That's the Mossed motto and Israelis never "talk" big for no reason it was just a deception move to talk this way so Egypt will fear attacking the line, By the end Egyptian leaders only planned the attack on the Line but didn't plan how to penetrate into the Sinai itself, Maybe out of surprise how they "broke" so fast the defense and now stumbled what to do next.
@Fuck RUclips egypt had the soviets the fuck u want😂
@@PrinceSpopovich Egypt kickked 20,000 soviets in 1972. And societs refused to send advanced weapons to Egypt for that reason.
Imagine having powerful American and European F-4 phantoms and being defeated by the inferior MIG-21 😂😂
@@PrinceSpopovich Not like the Americans. Egypt expelled Soviets off Egypt prior the war. Support was in buying weapon only. Paid in Advance. US had an Ariel bridge, supplying Israel with latest weapons, intelligence and even food and drinks.
@@PrinceSpopovich Let alone that the Soviets supplied Egypt with defensive weapons only.
Generally accurate with one glaring error. "Parachutists" are people, usually civilians who enjoy skydiving for fun. "Paratroops" are airborne infantry, even if they are inserted via truck or helicopter or even on foot.
Another very well done video.
A question: You seem to be using less historical footage to illustrate the conflict. Is there less available of this period or an editorial decision?
Again, great video
Hell yeah brother! I love the insane production value you put into all of your videos but specifically Israeli conflicts, incredible work.
What Israel learnt from the war : Dont play sand games with egypt. They are the ones who built pyramids.😂
Israel won this war tho so...
@Mohamed Saleh From a military point of view, its a victory for Israel
From a political point of view, its a draw.
