I love the Syrian announcer claims how hard the Arabs could fight. They had more of everything and got their rear ends handed to them!
-
It is not the Tank. It is the crew.
-
This was classic, Gamel Abdel Nasser the leader of the Arab World fell for the old vice of believing your own propaganda. He thought with all their new Soviet weapons, the Arab were invincible. Only to have Israel hand him is ass on a plate! One of the greatest victories against the odds in all history.
-
M48 more reliable than the Centurion? - Once Tal imposed the correct routine maintenance the Centurion was better in almost every respect. The reason the M48 was used in the Sinai was it could not cope as well as the Centurion in the difficult terrain in the Golan!
-
With Soviet equipment comes Soviet doctrine. That was a big part of the problem. Another is crew training, it takes time and money to train a good tanker. And if the tanks are roughly comparable then training is key.
-
The Centurions wre the heavy lifters" of the IDF and continued in service with the IDF right up to the batles for the Golan Heights in the War of '73
-
Whole divisions of Egyptians lost their nerve and abandoned all their tanks and vehicles and tried to walk back to Egypt only to be taken prisoner by the tens of thousands or machine gunned by their own people when they tried to cross back into Egypt.
-
Only viewed the northern, ie Syrian, field of that war. Going there from America, I realized they have to defend a nation about the size of a postage stamp. Time is an extremely critical factor, and they cannot afford to sacrifice a single mile.
-
In case anyone isn’t aware, if someone says an army is great in fixed positions, that’s a polite way of saying they suck.
-
As an Israeli (I watched only the start of this "documentary"). There are lots of false facts, and propaganda. For example, the airstrike operation wasn't planned for 10 years, only about 3 weeks. Also, what started the war was the Egyptians closing the Suez canal for Israeli shipping. Which meant (at that time) the end of Israel.
-
1) the sini was supposed to be demilitarised according to un resolution which Egypt violated prior to the war. That was a major trigger and justification for the Israeli 🇮🇱 preemptive strike 2) Israeli 🇮🇱 airstrikes played a major factor in paving the way for the armor 3) most importantly, there was faith in the political leadership and the political leadership had faith in the army, so commanders could constantly seize the initiative. Israel 🇮🇱 would be wise to foster such faith and unity today

State of denile very good
-
It wasn't the tanks. It was the "Thanks!" 4:32
-
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage documentary in military sites about 7 days of war in 1967 in the Middle East ...
-
Confederate General James Longstreet would have been proud of the Israelis maneuvering to the Egyptian rear and forcing the the Egyptians to fight their way through them to get back across the Canal.
-
When you put armor in static defensive positions, you lose the advantage of mobility, & maneuver is the rimary advantage of armor. Perhaps the arab commanders understood their crews were not trained to high standards. The "maneuver " through an "impassable" location gave the Israeli division the element of both surprise combined with manuever. They used their tanks according to armor doctrine.
-
6 day War!!!!very impressive and insping for small countries fighting a bigger country.the Israelis know how whats beed to ve done in oirder to survive.
-
I would say the centurion was actually the best tank they had
-
The centurion was fitted with the British L7 105mm
-
Most of the time it IS the tank. Imagine a Tiger tank compared to an M1A1 today. Need I say more?
