The first and most powerful sead / dead operation to destroy and suppress Usraeli defenses..

On the afternoon of Saturday, October 6, 1973 AD - Ramadan 10 1393 AH

Two Egyptian TU-16 KS Bombers took off to gain the honor of starting the war..

Each bomber was armed with 2 Kilit missiles (the size of the missile is equivalent to the MiG-15 fighter)

The aim was to hit the enemy's command and communication sites at Umm Marjam .. 25 minutes after taking off, the bombers began hitting the specified sites..

They were successful in their missions, AFAIK the IAF shot claimed to have shot 2 of its missiles down. Non the less many successfully hit their targets but were held by the lack of more missiles.
Mood: (Shazly celebrating with soldiers).

Shazly was the best in the room IMO.

The missile wall succeeded in neutralizing the long arm of Israel from the first day on..

I watched a video of the missile defense shield for the war and how they set it up and especially the numbers, how many they had and how many they used and the number of aircraft brought down etc. and it was staggering! There's also another video somewhere (I think it was one of the 73 Historians fellas) but they had one of the SAM battalion commanders who actually set a world record for the amount of aircraft he brought down using the least amount of missiles. He talked about the SA-2 (that big beast in the pic there) and how the Russian method was to use 3 per aircraft launched in sequence and that increased the probability of hitting and bringing down the aircraft and this commander said he was sable to use only 2 missiles per aircraft and he was responsible for something like 28 Israeli aircraft brought down using only 2 SA-2s per which was a record not even achieved in Vietnam. Don't hold me to the 28 but it was somewhere in the high 20's from what I remember, and it was pretty amazing stuff.

They put out so many videos it would be tough to look for it and find it but if I ever come across it, I'll post it because it was great historical information about the use of SAMs by Egypt in that war.

An excellent quick video breaking down all the radar and surveillance systems on the tower of the Bergaminni Class FREMM as well as the Aster 15 & 30 missiles and the forward hull gun with its own radar positioning and tracking/guidance dish! Really great stuff! Lower video is of the command and control station.

The last battles of October war just before the cease fire. The battle of Suez led by Avram Adan brigade from Israeli side and the battle of Ismailia led by Ariel Sharon brigade from Israeli side. The two brigades that smuggled between the two Egyptian armies after the American stealth SR71 blackbird planes captured photos of the gap between the two Egyptian armies and sent them to Israel. Both battles ended with an Egyptian victory and Israeli failure to capture any of the two cities.

No idea why Sharon is popular, it was Adan who was doing the work, one must note that Sharon was catching the army by surprise and that it was the Paratroopers that managed to engage with his forces prematurely with success.

How many people here know about Mirage 5s in EAF service during the October war? They were Libyan but with Egyptian pilots and crews stationed in El Mansoura or Tanta, unfortunately they weren’t equipped with any missiles and missed an opportunity to shoot down a transport plane landing in captured Egyptian airbase west of the Suez Canal. This remains underreported.

The two brigades that smuggled between the two Egyptian armies after the American stealth SR71 blackbird planes captured photos of the gap between the two Egyptian armies and sent them to Israel.

The American pilot talks about this mission in one of the SR-71 documentaries who flew that exact mission and it was so secret that no one knew about it, not even the Israelis knew it because the pilot said that he was surprised that Egypt didn't fire any missile at him but the Israelis did!

In Shazly's awesome book he talks about that specific moment when he got a call from central command that there was a high flying aircraft and it was moving very fast and they wanted to know if they had permission to launch a few SA-2s at it and he said no, forget about it because he knew exactly what it was at the time from the description the radar guys gave him. He said it would be a waste of SAMs because obviously it was an American SR-71 doing battlefield recon and surveillance and that if they fired anything at it, it would simply throttle to mach 3 and escape. This was how brilliant he was that he even recognized exactly what it was and didn't waste any SAMs trying to shoot it down. Even the Israelis didn't know what it was and probably thought it was a Russian MiG-25 working for Egypt and so they fired at it and of course didn't come near it. The American pilot said that as he smiled.

No idea why Sharon is popular, it was Adan who was doing the work, one must note that Sharon was catching the army by surprise and that it was the Paratroopers that managed to engage with his forces prematurely with success.

The reason he was popular was because he was the guy who basically engineered 1967 and he came out of retirement to try and save the Israelis' faces out of this mess they were in. Then they were waiting for the bridge they had assembled in the middle of Sinai and a bunch of tanks had to haul it all the way to the canal and he was too impatient and ended up going against Elazar or whomever who told him to wait and ended up crossing with the inflatable dinghies. This is when they should've been slaughtered like sheep even if they did it at nighttime, they were noticed and Shazly was ready to take them out and end that whole movie they were about to direct to save a little face from a major humiliating defeat. But then Sadat was too afraid to pull out a single soldier to come back to the west side because he felt that the rest of the entire army would see that and panic. Shazly couldn't believe that line of thinking because he was talking about a few sagger platoons and a couple of tanks and that was it. They didn't need to make a big deal out of it and just have them cross back and take them out and cut off their routes just like they did in Ismailiya. The 2nd army succeeded in almost exactly what Shazly wanted the 3rd army to do but for some friggin reason, Sadat got cold feet and then that started the whole thing between him and Shazly unfortunately. That was a super bad move by Sadat.

But you seen Sharon with the bandage around his head and they actually almost killed that one-eyed bandit pos Moshe Dayan! You know about those heroes in that ill-fated Mi-17 that flew over the Israelis on the west bank and dropped a couple bombs by hand and almost killed him? Some of the lookouts saw Dayan and his entire crew including his bodyguards come to the west bank in a helicopter and they notified the intel command who sent a request for anyone who was immediately available to do whatever they could to kill him. The closest and only available aircraft at that time was that Mi-17 and 4 of those heroes just grabbed a couple of bombs and didn't have time to mount them on the pylons and just threw them in the cargo bay and ended up flying right over the son of a bitch, but by the time they were able to arm the bomb (and obviously it was very heavy) and they had to be very careful and the helo is flying like crazy, not the most ideal time to handle and hand lob a huge bomb out the back of the cargo bay door but they still managed to do it only they missed probably because of the difficulty of doing it by hand. It landed about 100 yards away from the asshat. But in this book with colored pictures, it shows dayan walking with his entourage and smiling and looking around and the next picture shows him on the ground, his hat flown off his head and his face with the look of ultimate horror LOL! It was great and too bad, really really too bad they weren't able to drop that thing right on top of his bloody bald head! That would've been great and the next pic shows them after they got up and someone shot down the helo with a manpad or something but those heroes did whatever they had to do to try and kill that sob who was pretty much responsible for 1967 and to see his smugass face the way he was bragging after that war and then the horror on his face like the pussy that he was at that moment was pretty gratifying, but it would've been a lot better had that hand-lobbed bomb bounced off his uglyass bald head and split him in two! Their lives wouldn't have been lost in vain. Ma3lesh they're still great heroes and men like no other men for volunteering for pretty much a one-way mission like that. Allah Yerhamhum Gamee3an.

How many people here know about Mirage 5s in EAF service during the October war? They were Libyan but with Egyptian pilots and crews stationed in El Mansoura or Tanta,

Yes, of course. One of the two major reasons why the Jews targeted Mansoura airbase on the 14th, because they received intel that there were Libyan mirages there and they wanted to take them out and destroy the airport at the same time and the other reason was to create a diversion from what they were doing at the canal.

unfortunately they weren’t equipped with any missiles and missed an opportunity to shoot down a transport plane landing in captured Egyptian airbase west of the Suez Canal. This remains underreported.

A lot of story lines that favor Egypt are underreported for obvious reasons. That's why I laugh at some of the know-it-alls around here who think they know anything about what really happened in this war. The last one I was talking to and read two sentences of the garbage he was writing and I left that thread shaking my head and never looked at it again lol.

BTW, another underreported item was the heavy hitting the Su-7s and the EAF did on the armored columns that were crossing and after they crossed. That's why it's laughable that anyone thinks it was a forgone conclusion as to the fate of that over-stretched, thin and super vulnerable armor line they had on the west side. Had they not had a cease fire to protect them, they would've been fried to a crispy critter crustacean! It would've been a ten fold disaster for the Israelis. It's unbelievable how people avoid talking about that and it almost came down to it, too!

Interesting pic of MEN from the Navy Special Forces on their way to a rib beach landing. Looks like a platoon with their ARX-160 and a radio operator. The masked guys are most likely the Rib handlers and lookouts.

On the 5th October 1973
Special units of the Egyptian Navy dived under the surface of the Suez Canal waters to search for the Napalm openings and disable them by means of a substance that freezes in the water of the canal..
It was invented by a genius Major in the naval forces called Ahmed Mamoun who gave its secret to the commander of the Egyptian Navy who in turn gave it to President Sadat, who approved it and then was Kept as secret..

Among the fortifications of the Israeli Bar-Lev Line was the presence of fuel tanks under the Bar-Lev fortifications..One tank carries 200 tons of combustible materials, from which pipes come out that have the ability to convert the surface of the channel into a mass of fire at 700 degrees Celsius for a period of 15 to 30 minutes..

36 groups of Egyptian frogmen blocked the 36 openings of the pipes, and the Israeli enemy did not succeed in starting a single fire during the crossing..

One of the achievements of the Egyptian General Intelligence was to obtain a map of the locations and positioning of the Napalm pipes long before the Yom Kippur War, which were rendered nonoperational by special units of the Egyptian Navy just one day before the October War start..

One of those frogmen was the hero Ali Abu Al-Hassan (on the picture)

New Photo taken on Sept. 12 of the Italian Emilio Bianchi (F589) FREMM Bergamini class Multi-purpose frigate which will be transferred to the Egyptian Navy soon.

Obviously they'll have to change its name from Emilio Bianchi to something like El Shazly, right?
