    At the height of the War of Attrition between Israeli and Egyptian forces, Soviet air power is deployed to protect key targets in the region, and to take the fight back to the marauding Israeli aircraft. The Israeli Air Force prepares a plan to bait Soviet MiG-21s into a dogfight where they can be engaged.

    “The Egyptians themselves reacted with ill-concealed delight at the outcome of the engagement. They had previously suffered intense criticism of their own performance and boasts of superior Soviet skills, when in fact the Soviets had fallen for tactics the Egyptians were already familiar with.”
    “Egyptian military leaders were pleased with the outcome of the battle because the Soviets had long been criticizing Egypt's aerial losses to Israel and attributing them to a lack of skill among Egyptian fighter pilots. The Soviets kept quiet about the incident so as to avoid the embarrassment of their defeat. It was one of the final engagements of the War of Attrition and is widely believed to have contributed to its conclusion.“

The Egyptians had good pilots same as Israelis but due to the more superior jet fighters and the skilled Israeli pilots we suffered alot in the war of attrition until October war 1973 came and we performed well in aerial battles especially in the EPIC 53 mins Air battle of mansoura 🇪🇬🇮🇱🔥

    Side note: The Soviets, just like the Americans, abandoned aerial combat when Air-to-Air missiles were first introduced. But then high losses of Soviet-trained North Vietnamese pilots and their own losses in Egypt convinced Soviet high command to relaunch air combat schools, which became the Soviet version of Top Gun, Center for Combat Development 1521 at the airbase Мaryy, or "Мaryy" for short. Ironically, Maryy was the airbase where the Soviet fighter regiment was sent to sharpen their skills before they went to Egypt, the very regiment that was bested by the Israelis in this video. Paper Skies did a great video about this Soviet Top Gun, search "Soviet TOPGUN | The Airbase "Мaryy" Story", I can't post a link here because RUclips bots delete comments with links for some reason.

    Thanks for the excellent video.
    The War Of Attrition is surely one of the most ridiculous wars in terms absolutely unbelievable engagements as well as the surrounding politics.
    For example, at the time Israel operated an armored special forces unit known as White Bear, which consisted of amphibious Soviet-made tanks and IFVs, that used to cross the Suez Canal in special circumstances. In one such operation this unit crossed into Egypt and accidentally ran over a Soviet general and killed a few more, all while doing horrible damage to a number of Egyptian military installations.
    I highly recommend looking into the research of Boris Dolin, I don't think he was published in English but might have.

    Some people here are rewriting History (because this is what they learn at school in Egypt). They claim this 1973 War was a victory for Egypt against Israel. If so why Israel returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt only on April 25, 1982? 9 years after the war! This restitution followed the Israeli-Egyptian peace agreements signed in 1979, known as the Camp David Accords. These agreements, mediated by the United States, led to the normalization of relations between Israel and Egypt, as well as Israel's withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula.

    As capable as aircraft are, and as fast as they can go, and as far as they can seemingly fly, they are very limited in terms of the area and duration that they can fight. Good tactical decision making and planning is critical in terms of setting up a Battle space and executing a mission. This is due to how little time aircraft have to fight and how short air battles last.

      The war of attrition was quite I conclusive in a stretegic sense, though Israel did dominate the Egyptians.

    I've been subbed to your channel for years and really enjoy all your content. But I want to give a couple important bits of feedback that have been on my mind for a while. 1)Display the important info regarding the setting of the conflict ON SCREEN as you say it. Most videos I need to rewind to make sure I understand the setting, time and location wise.
    2) A channel of this size and consistent success should maybe consider providing subtitles for their videos, rather than counting on the auto-generated ones. Deaf and HoH communities would thank you, but they would still be beneficial to all your viewers such as myself, especially since you use so much specific military terminology that the auto-subtitles won't pick up.

      That's a rather far-fetched conclusion though. Generally speaking, Egyptian and Arab pilots in general were and probably still are mediocre because of various reasons. They rely heavily on central command (ground-controlled interception) and display poor tactical behavior and creative thinking. Many don't even understand how some parts of their aircraft work.
      More likely, Soviet pilots of that time were similarly mediocre as Egyptian pilots were.

    I would love to see you do a video of Operation Bolo during the Vietnam War! Operation Bolo (January 2, 1967) was similar to this battle in that it was ruse by the US Air Force to force the North Vietnam Air Force fighters into battle with US fighters. Up until this point the North's fighters avoided combat with US fighters and instead concentrated on hit-and-run tactics on the heavily loaded fighter bombers which often forced these bomber formations to jettison their bomb loads in defense (up to 20% of strikes were forced to jettison their bomb loads before hitting their targets).
