To quote Brezhnev. We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, "Save me!" He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

Avigdor Kahalani is one of the most celebrated war heroes in Israel , I remember when I was in High School we had a school trip to the valley of tears where we met him and he explained all of the battle tactics he used and lamented on all the lives that were lost that day, It was one of the more memorable moments of my childhood , It was an honor to meet this man in person.

The Six Day War tank battle of 1967 is probably the greatest tank battle since the Germans invaded USSR during WW2❤ Great 👍 video thank you ❤ I love history ❤️

At 40:48, that was a very wise decision made by a superb commander. Much respect. Sir.

14:15 "Reeling from the explosive speed of the Israeli advance the Egyptian high command was in a state of de-Nile." I see what you did there.

The unsung heroes in the 6-day war is the IDF Logistics Corps which provided the tank units with ammunition and fuels. Without them, the Israeli armor units would not have been able to sustain and maintain their offensive.

One of my Hebrew school teachers was an IDF soldier during these wara He was infantry and because of the brave men and women of the IDF such as my teacher Jews will always have a place to call home

The geography of the Middle East makes it a perfect place for tank warfares. The main advantage of a tank is its mobility, but during the 6-day war, the Egyptians decided to dug in and to fight from a defensive position, which made their tanks into sitting ducks.

6 day war on the 7th day they rested

The Centurion was the better tank which is why it stayed in Service for so long. Nothing would touch it in Korea. It just missed WW11 and the Israelis said it was the tank that saved them.

Thanks for posting this. I had these episodes of Greatest Tank Battles on my DVR forever but I had to move recently & lost em. Such a good series from AHC. The Kursk episodes are also very good.

The Merkava ( War chariot in Hebrew ) mark-4 can drive over granite bolder strewn Golan hights at over 40KPH.

I'd argue the Centurion and Patton were better because of how heavily modified they were for the region. Both got gun upgrades to 100 to 125 mm cannons on some.

As for crossing of the Suez Canal, you forgot Ariel Sharon !!!

The Patton was not even close to the Centurion as tanks go.

Awesome. I also want to watch the historic air battle.....so can you please make a detail fighting in the air from the conception to the present air war??? A currents hit.🙏🙏🙏

Look at dat Arab historian buffing wot ever he wants

The Lord who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps

The Arabs still think they won that war. If I was in the Israeli command I would have wiped that army out and then continued until their fighting ability was absolutely gone. I realize that they might have not had the numbers but giving the Sinai back to Egypt was a mistake and a huge tactical error. It gave the Egyptian people a moral boost. You always always demoralize your enemy whenever you get the chance.

In the 6-day war, the Egyptian tanks were dug in, which prevented them from launching counterattacks when being flanked by the Israelis. Just on tactics alone, the Egyptians were outsmarted.

The centurion tank was the best tank on the battlefield especially with the BRITISH L 7 105 mm gun..

If Erwin Rommel still alive... He must've loves to join this..

I would rather be the hammer than the anvil Erwin Rommel That was what the Israeli did.

Informative. Useful. Calming. Inspiring. Life-changing. Enjoyable. Heart-warming. Other.

Interesting to see all of these strung together. There is so much I didn't know about this conflict and need to research more. I would love to do an analysis video one day of some of the sources about this conflict.

Fascinating docco... Fighting from a tank in the heat of a northern summer in the desert, air conditioning or ensuite unlikely, must be quite a character building experience... The Arab's rarely live up to their delusional grandiose rhetoric... I myself have traveled through Egypt with two very capable companions, a woman from Scotland and a woman from Germany... Traveling through an Arab country is challenging, what with their attitudes towards women and "infidel" westerners... Fortunately myself and my travel mates, despite witnessing the occasional horror story, avoided through cautious/common sense behaviour, a lot of potential drama... Best wishes from Qld, Australia...

this arab historian sounds so cocky in this docu... i know its abouth pride but his side stil lost 4 times..... and his side was the agressor not the other way around. (now i dont condone wars but if u start it then dont blaim the oponent for taking you out. (this refers to al wars btw)

It's not the tank it's who driving the tank

Fantastic episode!

you say the things very exaclly!!! well done

An uparmored and upgunned Sherman is able to compete with the Soviet T55 any day of the week though, same with a Centurion or any other WWII type tank. Israel respects their neighbors in the Middle East including Egypt

Great awesome graphics, No words to express my gratitude

Totally agree

I would like to know more about the personalities in the Syrian high command. Who ordered that the bridging equipment be in the rear during the attack on the tank ditch after years of planning? It sure wasn't any Soviet advisor.

the narrator's voice makes this work

Love. The graphics

Just wondering if the older t54 55 62 tanks had ejecting turents also the t 72 90 turrets eject Everytime when hit

Tanks should avoid urban areas unless well supported by infantry.

Love the Egyptian joke. " they were in a fog of de Nile" 😂

History repeats itself..

Overlaying the original sound track with a translation makes it dificult to understand :/

Most the tank in the animation is t34

Israel should have never given the Sinai back. The Arabs were the aggressors in the Yom Kippur War. I understand the desire for peace that came from it, but Egypt is still a hot bed for anti-Israeli sentiment.

Why didn't the tank gunner say he opened up from 1400 meters instead of 1500 yards? He was an Israeli in a British tank in the middle east.

lol that gun drepression at 43:16

Excellent report. I would have liked to have heard how the Israeli's were re-armed and re-fueled.

The Soviet Tanks were really really good at cooking.

The Israeli tankers fought like lions.

The Ben Gurion (not Centurion) was a wonderful tank for the Israelis

1:04:17 didn't know the egyptian forces had KV 1 tanks

You can't fight against G-d's people And expect to win, when G-d Has already declared their victory through prophecy... Israel will always Come out on top ... God's Being patient, waiting for them to turn to Yashua Who is our salvation. And become one new man, both Jew and Gentile. Ephesians 2:14-16. For God has declared The Jew a stiff neck people.... I now can relate. Because I too was stiff necked for 50 years of my life.... But now I love them, especially now That I'm an adopted Jew🤗 All glory be to God🙏

THERE 👑GOD'S 😇 PEOPLE 🙏🏽🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏾🦅 🗽 🇺🇲

Documentaries with hardly any actual footage isn't documentary... it's commentary.

very important to know; israel didn't thought that the ordinary forces can to stop the egyptain army in real war, the mission of the ordinary israeli force - was to slow the egyptain army and give a time to reserve force to arrive to the front

it is an interesting decision to portrat t34-85s in the defensive line

The problem with the first Israeli tanker is that just where did he get that 2dn and 3rd tank when his got blown up?"Kahalani:So did you just walk back to an empty tank or did you kick the CO of those tanks out and take over their tank. I wish people would do more research....

GOD BLESS ISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Отважный народ, понятно, что победа будет за ПРАВДОЙ и справедливостью. Короче, кто с мечом придет, тот от него и кончится.... закон природы. ЧТобы неповадно было.

No question about the bravery of those valiant warrior's. Sometimes war is a necessary evil to defend ones country. But what a shame that wars have to be fought. What a wonderful world this could be if only a way to settle disagreements and differences could be done through peaceful means rather than killing young men and woman by fighting wars. Millions of people have died from starvation and diseases for many long years. But when it comes to war there are no shortages of war fighting machines designed to kill another human being. No shortage of war mongering politicians that send our young men to die in far off wars while they sit back and live off the backs of those they are suppossed to be working for. No shortage of evil men who to rule the world by any means necessary. What if all that money was put into ending poverty, hunger, and diseases and finding peacful means to settle fueds instead of killing one another and making those who build war machines richer than they need to be. I'm all for making money through free enterprise and making as much as one can. But not at the expense of killing another human being.

I wonder what happened to all the scrap metal?

This blurring of crucial scenes is mad annoying.

Narrator: "they are outnumbered. Surrounded on all fronts." Israel: "that's funny. But air support says otherwise."

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Who on earth advised the Egyptians to dig in their tanks ? . By doing so, they literally lost every form of Manoeuvrability which is very key in tank warfare .

VERY YES, AND GOD BLESS THE JEWS!!!!

It's over Syria, we have the low ground.

When dealing with Israel it's wise to remember the One who watches over them and calls them His chosen people. He blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who curse Israel.

Why is operation chastise not available in the UK.

The Israeli general said anti-tank weapon and not missiles, there were no missiles yet only an early version of rpg and anti-tank guns

Cairo was under seige. Good thing Chridtian and Jews were kind enough to come into terms to make peaceful terms

Documentarioguerracivilamericana

Only needed to watch the first 2 minutes. Once you said they gained air superiority within 2 hours of the war I knew it was over. Plus the Israelis clearly learned the German tactics of WWII.

Why are they blurring out some scenes?

It's like COD Modern Warfare graphics on xbox360😂 lol

Israelis loved the Centurian tank was the Chieftain later .I heard the Israelis smuggled lots of hashish from the Lebanon to the Egyptian army too spaced out and paranoid to put up a real fight .

Tank must be oppossed by tank? How about aircraft? How about anti tank guns, missiles, artillary? Watch out for infantry with anti tank weapons esp in urban areas.

explosions volume is too high

les israeliens avaient des amx 13 avec canons de 105?

Israel so powerful can't believe it can withstand so many enemies of

Why don't people aim just for the tracks itself? Because without tracks it can't move, making them a sitting duck. Not to mention that they're very hot or very cold inside the tank depending on the weather.

a six day war. Are we sure its not a 6 day battle. lol. Even for a battle, thats pretty short.

Where was the air support??

yep, the Russian tanks have at first glace good statistics, strong gun, thick armour, lots of engine power... but in practice , it had weaknesess, slow to turn, difficult to get an aim at the enemy, lots of reasons to take it slow and hope the enemy grow old...

So the war opened with a Blitzkrieg

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way...

I would like to see more about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, perhaps on a different program?

In short, don't mess with the Israelites!

And now is real is being charged with crimes against humanity!

.........And the Arab also didn't know that Israel could counter attack Arab forces decisively.........

Egypt loses in 6 days. Egypt would've lost in 6 days again the 2nd time, but the Syrians had to add 10 more days.

Great defence Israel,God blase IDF Protect after befoor

Nadie hescapara de la hira de Dios hel leon de juda777

AT-3 Sagger not SA-3

Only God...

I love Israel. I love you. No one can defeat God's covenant nation. I pray for you Israel and bless you Israel

I now understand why Arab men are always so angry.

The Palestians need a new hobby.

Way to retitle the old videos with a new thumbnail for clicks.

Egyptians. Cluck cluck.
