@Bandog23 especially today. What is it now 8 us citizens and some are possibly pregnant from terrorists.
A friend who was a tank commander in the 6 Day War told me that the attack on Yom Kippur was really a blessing for Israel. Why? Everybody was in Shul (Synagogue) so the mobilization began with many reservists already concentrated at a group pickup point. The civilian buses immediately became troop transports, according to plan. Mobilization was accomplished in less than 12 hours. If it had not been such a important holy day, the reservists would have been scattered all over the country, scrambling to find transport.
So get attacked at holiday is bless i though u guys not maniing enough garisson at those day
Surely the reservists in any given synagogue are from units spread all across the Golan front, West Bank and Sinai. If they are deploying to their respective units, the advantage of fewer pick up points is lost. So there had to be some additional logistical planning to get the reservists to the right units.
It's Israeli territory and way.
No traffic slowing down reservists on that day too.
Syrian offensive tanks are old, unlike Israeli tanks. Except for Egypt leaving the Syrians to fight alone. There were betrayals in the Syrian army and Hafez al-Assad handed over the lands.
The Centurion. On of the best tanks ever made. Crewed by some of the best trained tank crews ever.

@@ajaxiplier5397 but the Centurion tank was a brilliant tank. Why do you think it was used by countless armies around the world for years?

@@battleshipman56 random cent hater...
@@battleshipman56 You know the Centurion was produced from 1946 right? The T62 came a whole 15 years later. For its time, the Centurion was one of the best tanks. Maybe even THE best.
All politics aside, you can't deny the military prowess and capability of the Israelis, even against all odds.
That's because our most powerful weapon is the fact we have no where else to go...and we ain't leaving. When we say never again, it's not just a slogan, it's a slogan backed up with hundreds of nuclear weapons at the ready, more than India's and Pakistan's combined.

As an armored tactics instructor in the early 1980's at Ft Knox we would often have students from friendly foreign countries enrolled. One semester we had a senior Israeli NCO/tank commander who had been involved in the Yom Kippur fight. He was a wealth of information and spoke to us of his part in the battle in the northern sector, tactics used plus logistics and fire support. His stories were fascinating and for a good part of one day, he was the instructor and I was the student. Several years later I was fortunate enough to be TDY to Israel and worked directly with the IDF. The respect for the nation of Israel I gained in those months has lasted a lifetime. The United States must never turn its back on this great nation and its people. They alone are our 'only' true allies in the Middle East.

@@omarzahraoui805; Obviously you've confused me with someone that gives a rat's rump.
I remember that in high school, the school took us the the valley of tears memorial and we heard the story directly from Avigdor Kahalani and I have to say, it was the first time I have ever seen a truly great man, and the first time I saw a what seamed to me like a war hearo. I remember him telling us that he comes to the memorial every year to honour his soldiers and friends. when he finished the telling us the story of the battle we all stood for a moment of silence to honour the dead, but as we stood in silence Kahalani shed tears for his dead friends. as much of a victory as the war was it was a greater loss.
I know a tanker that was a driver in this battle. It was amazing picking his brain about this battle. He was surprisingly open about it. He was surprised I knew anything about it.
I could be wrong, but.. I was a medic in Armored corps during 2nd Lebanon war. And we gave a different meaning to "picking someone's brain" back then .
my neighbour in munich worked for telemit, a manufacturer of military communication systems. he told me that the syrian tankers had a unique communication system. only the unit commanders could send and recieve messages, all others could only recieve. this meant that the unit commander‘s tanks had 2 antennae (with pennants no less) and all others had only one. it was therefore relatively easy to indentify the commanders‘ tanks and attack them first, leading the rest leaderless.
Thats correct but its not unique, its just standard Soviet military doctrine. USSR sold them the tanks, trained them on how to use them and showed them battle tactics and doctrine. Doctrine says that for a unit commander they get a K-variant of the tank with K standing for Komandirskiy. The K-variant of the standard tank has an extra radio which of course gets an extra antenna. There's a novel called Red Storm Rising written in the 80's by Tom Clancy and in it a fictional battle took place between American and Soviet tankers. The American tankers were trained to look out for enemy tanks with an two radio antennas because that means that they are a platoon or company commander. Tom Clancy is known for writing books that are pretty technically accurate because he actually did research and probably got to interview folks and do tours and whatnot.
@Mezei Miklós You`d be surprised how stupid things that are, were not so stupid in hindsight until the theory is put into the test... Take operation barbarossa, everyone at the time thought the soviets were done for... but look at what happened, another example is riding a horse, back then in forgotten ancient times, everyone thought it was stupid. Until someone thought it was a good idea(or a funny one) to ride on its back... Stupid is only stupid to those who didnt have to be the first one to try something new...

What is most impressive is how harshly the IDF criticized itself for its response; despite the incredible performance of their reserve components. True professionals.
That's because they can't afford to lose even a single battle given how small Israel is. The reason the IDF is almost unbeatable is because they have no choice. I guess having neighbours that don't want you to exist on all sides has it's own benefits
@@basketcase775 Their training methods, and regulations during live fire are a bit unnerving. "You want me to WALK downrange to change my target; WHILE they're still firing!?" "Is okay. Stay in lane."
What you don't remember is that they lost a lot of good people because of their complacency. That's why they were brutal in their self assessment.
@@alfredcollins3944 as a Combat Veteran I can tell you that's just part of the game. The Israelis forgot Security should be their primary concern not Religious custom. Afterwards they changed their manning policy during the High Holy Days.
@@jameswells554 That just was not the reason. Not the fasting neither the holiday forces depletion was the problem, but only the surprise caused by intelligence miss. The holiday didn't matter.

I remember a joke I heard about the Yom Kippur War: "Who are the greatest generals of all time?" Answer: "Kutuzov, Stalin, and Anwar Sadat." Question: "Why are they great generals?" Answer: "Well, Kutuzov lured Napoleon deep into Russia and when winter came, the French army froze and could be easily defeated. Stalin lured Hitler's army deep into Russia and when winter came, the Germans froze and were easily defeated. Anwar Sadat? Well, he lured the Israeli army deep into Egypt during the Yom Kippur War. Now he is waiting for winter and the snow and ice to finish off the Israelis...

@@reneegiese6315 I think everyone has ultimate right to defend without any history too.
If I remember correctly, one of the experiences the Israeli tankers made on the Golan heights, directly influenced the design choice of the Merkava to have a back door as feature which was made possible from the fact that the Merkava has its engine in the front where as most tanks have their engines in the rear. During the fighting on the Golan hights, the Centurion tanks the British issued to the Israelis would run out of amunition due to the prolonged fighting and the crews had to load new rounds from units in the rear which has proved to be quite cumbersome and problematic under fire. So in a similar situation resupplying the Merkava would be far easier and safer compared to the Centurions.
Not really.

In war NOBODY wins.
As a former armor officer, Lt Col Kahalani was one of my heroes. I read his book, The Heights of Courage and studied the Golan at the advanced course at Ft Knox. I was lucky to have an IDF Tank Battalion Commander in my small group who commanded a Merkava battalion in Lebanon and who served in the 73 war to teach us so many valuable lessons. This war inspired the US Army to become the lethal force it eventually became. Our unit's battle of Medina Ridge in 91 was victorious thanks in part to the invaluable lessons we learned from this war. Much respect to all who fought.

Oh come on. I think the US army had proven itself well before 1973.
IDF is not an actual thing. It's just a liar's club for boys.
@@kekistanihelpdesk8508 It did but if you watch some older U.S generals speaking about Israel u will notice a huge admiration from them towards the Jewish state, A former secretary of state even mentioned that most U.S tactics deployed in the Middle east (Afghanistan-Iraq) were directly learned from the I.D.F years prior. Americans realized that fighting in this region is mainly against insurgent groups and not a western style army and which country fought such insurgent forces for decades now with vast experience? Israel.
Lessons learned from actual war results? Interesting concept. In Fredericksburg VA, the Union forces marched across an open field toward the Confederates with cannons behind stone walls. They never got to the walls. Later in Gettysburg PA, that exact same Confederate army marched across an open field toward the Union with cannons behind stone walls. They never got the walls. Why ever would a great military general direct his forces to do what he had seen with his own eyes resulted in destruction??? Sorry, but I have little appreciation for the intelligence of military leaders. Some of them, not including those presently running the US govt, have other good qualities.
"Look at the Syrian Soldiers! They are fighting so well." - True respect to the adversary. These men are not joyful for what happened in the war. They respect the bravery of the Syrians!
Calm down Virgin
And today, they are "respecting" the bravery of the Syrians. Ha, flying planes inside Syria to destroy ammunition depots aimed at Israel. We can "respect" our enemy, we must only destroy them.
Nobody respect the "bravery" of the Syrians. Attacking with many more tanks and at the end they fled with their tails between their legs. Did you hear about Tsvika force? One Israeli tank against tens of Syrian tanks that finally turned back and vanished on their way back to Syria.

It was rated as very good to excellent in all areas of testing, from penetration to muzzle velocity, accuracy and handling. Combined with the extensive training of Israeli gunners, it was a league above the dull soviet counterparts. A truly excellent weapon.
Tank rifles have lower muzzle velocity.
@@ultrajd Depending on the ammo
Rifled to spin HESH rounds, other than that rifled tank barrels are inferior to smooth bores.
@@bryonslatten3147 only now because the targeting computer and round development have made smoothbores just as accurate , In 1957 when the gun was introduced it was the best tank gun in the world , Hence why it became the NATO standard on just about everything including a license produced version on the first generation of Abrahms.

I love that last line, "If the Golan heights is not returned to Syria, I daresay there will not be peace in the Middle East" as if there would be peace in the middle east if the Golan Heights were retaken for Syria.
If that happened the Syrians would immediately start shelling the valley below, and nothing would have changed. They wont be getting it back any time soon.
The problem is that the Golan Heights are strategic for whoever controls them. Knowing their history, Israel would be foolish to hand the territory back over. Syria wants it for precisely that reason.

In our war against the rebel Serbs and the JNA (Yugoslav People's Army), we used the T-55 for the most difficult terrains, such as climbing the Dinara mountain above the rebel capital Knin. With a comprehensive operation, the 4th and 7th brigades surrounded Knin, which did not expect an attack from Dinara. We made our way through 2.5m of snow to the place for the 4-8-1995 attack. They were worse from winter to summer. I was a volunteer 91-95 in the infantry division. We walked into Knin, which was conquered by capturing two brigades. We broke out on the Bosnian border and liberated the besieged Bihač with the 5th Bosnian Army. All this in 8 days, which has never been achieved anywhere. But that was the deal with the USA & UN. We have not violated any law of war. Long live Croatia.

They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. 15 I will firmly plant them in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land that I have given them,” says the LORD your God.
The Isreali Army now cannot only be stopped by maybe USA only. They have become too powerful. And with with 300 nuclear warheads it is more so. Arabs backdown for now. Even if Arabs combined and have Ussr with you still Isreal with take you down. But it is not forever.

I will agree that the Palestinian people are great and so are the Israelis. The problem is you never accept peace and keep on following your corrupt and self aggrandizing leaders. Make peace like many middle east countries are now doing and you will see how fast your people will improve their lives. But sadly you will never listen. And so Israel keeps on progressing and improving life of all it's citizens while you live a life of blaming others for your problems. Hows that working out for you so far?

Yeah, my gramma was telling me legends about this tank as bedtime stories. What an amazing machine.
This is a awesome video! Can't hear the people speaking at all but background music and explosions are maxed! I feel like I'm there, that's exactly why I chose a documentary on a tank battle.
That last commentator said Syria will get the Golan Heights back one day. Right now it doesn't look promising. And secondly the only reason besides pride they want it back is so they can fire down into Isreal as they did before 1967. Something no Israeli politician or Army leader could allow.
Exactly. The entire documentary is 46 minutes arguing why Israel will never give up the Golan. Ever.
Well, who's to say who has the better claim? Who did Syria get it from? And they're not even a real country anymore in control of themselves. There's no moral high ground here. Except Israel has a more reasonable argument because of their vital defense needs. Otherwise......
@@martijnb5887 israel gave up the whole sinai once they made peace with egypt.. only the stubborness of the syrians to make peace with israel is what stops the syrians from getting back the golan..
@@userjlj That would surprise me. The entire Sinai peninsula is a buffer between Israel and Egypt. If Syria would have the Golan its armies can be in the centre of Israel in just hours, leaving Israel no time to organise its defence.
He's an just another arrogant and idiotic academician. Those who can't fight, teach; those who can't treat patients, become dictators (Bashar Al Asad is an MD/ophthalmologist, UK-trained). Note that the good professor is the only Syrian commenting on the war.
I’ve personally met the two tank commanders of the Israeli battalions, Yair Nafshir and Avigdor Kalahani, telling the story of this 1973 battle of the Golan Heights. The incredible courage and military nerve of these commanders were overwhelming in the light of the seemingly Syrian upper hand.
It's Avigdor Kahalani, well known name in Israel...
Lol Bravery has nothing to do with it. Assad and Israel had an agreement.
Years ago, I read Kalahani's book, "The HEIGHTS OF COURAGE", a true Warrior and Leader.
The Syrians had no chance as the Golan Heights belong to God. Israel was merely the tool that God used.
These are gods chosen people gods protectio n always in their side i n

@@anauticalgate5496 Facts don't care about your feelings.
When speaking of possession of the Golan heights, note that when Syria held the Golan, prior to 1967, they routinely used the high ground to bombard Israeli towns and villages below the heights with random artillery attacks. There's a reason Israel took the Golan in '67, and it wasn't because of a desire for territorial expansion. The Arab commentator's statement that there will be no peace unless Syria gets the Golan back is thus rather disingenuous; Syria certainly didn't allow Israel to have any peace while Syria held the Golan.
Arabs are normally disingenuous.
The Golan is strategically important as a source of water for Israel and the Jordan valley. That's why they defend it!
@@davidjma7226 Also for security.

IDF and Rhodesian security forces were probably the best forces ever at asymmetrical warfare, small forces winning over much larger forces by sheer dedication, great motivation and training
I wouldnt really put Rhodesia in the same group as Israel. Israel was fighting a technological equal if not superior. Rhodesia had every advantage apart from numerical and in modern warfare, technology matters far more than manpower.
@@jamese5936they were fighting a war with barely any manpower, outnumbered and sanctioned by most nations.
I would include South Africa in that short list as well, although without the experience the SADF picked up helping the Rhodesians, and without an influx of Rhodesian veterans in 1979 to 1981, South Africa would not have done so well in combating SWAPO, Angolan, and Cuban forces in Angola.
@@jamese5936Rhodesia did not have tanks until South Africa gave them about 6 brand new T 54/55 tanks from a cargo ship they intercepted. If I recall correctly, Nkomo's Zipra forces did have tanks, and were preparing a conventional war against Rhodesia. Rhodesia was devastated by the international sanctions, but kept up the fight against overwhelming odds by improvising, stealing, or busting sanctions whenever possible. They were so short of cannon ammunition for their Hawker Hunters that the pilots became adept at taking out individual vehicles with extremely short bursts of 4/5 shots only. Of course South Africa did help by providing Alouettes and Eland 90 armoured cars, as well as South African Police and SADF personnel up to 1977 or 78. There were South African civilians that volunteered to join the Rhodesian Armed Forces too, as well as numerous volunteers from around the world, but on the whole, the Rhodesian forces were always outnumbered. As a young South African I wanted to go help Rhodesia fight communism when I was old enough, but the war ended when I was 11. TBH I did not know about the social injustices of the time. If you get the opportunity, read up on RLI operations and the outdated equipment they used to overwhelm a formidable foe. Further reading of Selous Scout operations against terrorist bases manned by thousands of soldiers by heavily outnumbered Rhodesians should inform you of the sound training, tactics, and dedication of thise men. Consider that the Rhodesians took earthmoving equipment they found in Mozambique on one operation because such equipment was denied them by the sanctions.

I was 5 years old when this war took place. Born and raised in Damascus, Syria. Thousands of innocent Syrian soldiers died following the command of a mad man. Taking on Israel was suicide. They were far more superior in training and in their military arsenal. Having said that, the Golan highlights IS a Syrian land that we lost and we will never get back. All our lives, we were fed this insane rehtreic on how we are going to 'liberate' Palestine,..!! Thank God that my family and I migrated long time ago.
Hello there my friend, i'm an israelu and i'm more than happy to see in your comment how well you mananged to acknowledge your opponent.

They guys is murderding all those who oppose him with chemical weapon that is forbidden to use. Hopefully that one day your people will be able to get this scum out of the president chair.

Especially when its strategically important for defense or offense in future wars. I Syria gets back the Golan Heights it will use it as a springboard to invade Israel again.

Fantastic War Stories
THIS IS THE STORY OF THE ARAB-ISRAEL CONFLICT 3 big bullies tried to take on a smaller, much younger, newly arrived kid, who had been through a terrible ordeal, but the kid decided to fight back and they ran. After some time these three bullies tried to take him down again but this time the kid struck first and they were severely beaten leaving their things for the kid to take. For the third time, they struck at the kid while was praying, but although they managed to beat him at first the kid fought back and defeated them again even chasing the biggest bully to his house. As time passes they dare not attack him again, but throw stones at him hiding behind the skirts of women and children and complaining everytime he struck back.

The complicated situation Israel faces in Lebanon is that it has to fight the Iranian proxies, watching at the same time those ethnic/religious groups which are neutral towards it. Israel has no other than security interests in Lebanon. Having analyzed the historical developments after the withdrawal, it takes an effort not to notice that the overall security situation and prosperity of Israel have improved while Lebanon became a failed state. The Arabs have this tradition of calling their failures 'victories '. From the point of view of the misery of the Lebanese today, I vote to grant them major victory over Israel.
