What do you want the Brits who have established Usrael in the middle east to say?
Here is the truth:
Usraelis like to introduce this war as an Israeli triumph. This is completely opposite to this war events. Israelis are employing their global biased media m/c to turn its disaster in this War into victory.
The YK war should be evaluated based on the following well-known Clausewitz' concepts
- War must never be seen as a purpose to itself, but as a means of physically forcing one's will on an opponent ("war is the continuation of politics through other means").
In addtion to the the above Clausewitz has classified the War objectives into two main categories:-
A- war to achieve limited aims
B- war to "disarm” the enemy: “to render [him] politically helpless or militarily impotent."
Knowing the Superiority of IDF (especially) in Air & armoured forces which was planned & executed by the unlimited support of US to Israel, Egypt selected "A" war class.
The Basic Egyptian army war mission was :-
1-Storming Suez Canal east Bank & demolishing IDF fortifications line ( Bar-leve Line]
2- Penetration of 5 to 6 miles deep in Sinai under the cover of the Egyptian anti Air missiles umbrella.
3- Sparking off an international crisis into which both USSR & US would be drawn. The Egyptian leadership hoped that the two superpowers would then force Israel into concessions acceptable to the Arabs.
4-If superpowers failed to intervene or were unable to force Israel to make the demanded concessions, The Arabs were to revert to "meat grinder" tactics against the stretched IDF forces & continue fighting for weeks or months against the Exhausted IDF troops & force Israel to accept the Arab terms.
The first 3 targets were fulfilled in the period between 6 October 1973 & 18th Jan 1974. There was no need for step 4.
This is the Egyptian victory.
1- IDF failed to push the 2nd army from its new positions on Canal east shore to its 5th of Oct lines in the west.
2- IDF failed to push the 3rd army from its new positions on Canal east shore to its 5th of Oct lines in the west.
3-IDF failed to surround the second army or to capture Ismailia city.
4-IDF failed to occupy Suez city.
5-IDF failed to secure the passage of its logistic supplies from Sinai to its divisions on Canal west shores. Its troops failed to occupy missori or the northern sections of the Chineese farm.
The last War days recorded IDF Adan Division defeat inside Suez city by Egyptian DIV 19 troops. Adan failed to occupy the city & lost more than 100 killed soldier.
In the north, Sharon division was defeated by the Egyptian Paratrooper brigades no 150 & 182 who pushed his troops to the south.
In the East IDF failed to occupy missori or the northern section of the Chineese farm.
The War final status presented 3 IDF divisions in the west canal bank that are confronted from the north, West & south by Superior Egyptian forces. These divisions link to their logistic bases in the East was in the range of the Medium range Egyptian artillery.
This poor IDF military positions were the reason for their retreat to the east 35 Kms from the Canal chores in Jan 1974 in response to the First Disengagement agreement. The lack of any political advantage for Israel in this agreement proved their military dispirit status.
The Egyptian limited war targets were achieved. This is best expressed by Trevor N. Dupuy, Elusive Victory: The Arab-Israeli Wars, 1947–1974 (New York: Harper and Row, 1978), 343. He stated
Quote:
"Thus, if war is the employment of military force in support of political objectives, there can be no doubt that in strategic and political terms the Arab States and particularly Egypt - won the war, even though the military outcome was a stalemate permitting both sides to claim military victory"
