It also has to do with a combination of horrible tank commander situational awareness and training. Really exposes the true weakness of the demon force and this new tiltok generation that's running all this supa dupa equipment. Let's hope they have more of the little lipstick chicks running APCs and M113s ooof, what a joke that is. Far cry from what we faced in '67 & '73. Those were roided jackboot thug demons compared to these tiktok teeky torches.
It could also mean the way the Palestinian resistance is fighting is completely different than how the conventional armies of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan fought in the 1960s and 1970s. This war is an asymmetric and not conventional.
In the 1967 and 1973 battles, the Egyptian, Syrian, and Jordanian forces were fighting in an open terrain. Their forces were less equipped compare to the better armed and better trained Israeli forces.
If we looked back in the 1973 war, both the US and Soviet Union were directly and indirectly supporting Israel. The Soviet Union who were expected to provide a similar or better weapons to the Arab armies weren't doing so. The SAMs they provided to the Egyptian army were limited and could not have provided better coverage beyond the Suez Canal. Most of the Egyptian army who crossed the Suez Canal and were chasing the Israeli forces did not have equate air support and air defense as well in the Sinai peninsula.
The Syrians themselves initially defeated the Israeli army and recovered most of the Golan Heights, but they were eventually overwhelmed from the air. The MIGs that Soviets provided to the Syrian army were no match to Israeli air force.
The American military - just like they're doing today in this current war on Gaza - also directly intervened in the conflict. They immediately airlifted new weapons and troops from their bases in Italy - weapons that the Egyptian and Syrian armies could not counter.
Today, the Palestinian resistance in Gaza have their backs against the wall. They have no extended terrain they could withdraw to, and they have to defend 2.3 million people who are facing genocide. So they prepared the ground by building tunnels and they're using whatever means available to them. Their houses and buildings are their trenches and they only have 2 choices: Victory or martyrdom.
