None of the Arabs were working together and they were all politicking against each other in the background.

Also they were really bad at war. I believe it was the Syrians who planted trees over all their border artillery positions so the troops would have shade. You can imagine how that worked out.

Arabs cannot into warfare, also using inferior Soviet equipment, and getting raped from the skies. For some reason the Israelis have an instinctive understanding of how to blitzkrieg, as well as counterattacking in the face of massive odds.

No way...

"Cohen persuaded the Syrian military to plant eucalyptus trees beside every artillery emplacement so that gun crews could shelter from the searing sun in the shade of their branches. Since eucalyptus trees are not indigenous to the Golan, the trees readily revealed every gun emplacement to the Israeli Air Force. "

The Soviets were pouring equipment and advisors into the Arab states during most of the cold war, hell they were sending them more gear than they were to the Vietnamese when the Vietnam War heated up. They had assloads of advisors and equipment, but could not coordinate/plan for shit. The high water mark is probably the Egyptians taking the Suez, and that's it. They had the SAMs, Migs, Tanks, and anti-tank weaponry needed to beat Israel but they were severely lacking for clear heads. Also of note, even the Soviets occasionally got their shit pushed in

there's always that excellent paper on why arabs loser wars. Regardless of who their advisors are or what their equipment is (even funnier that it's written by americans who used to shit on the soviet advisors and soviet equipment but found out the root of the problem was the Arabs and their culture)
>>
>>29298060
I'm aware, and that is indeed a good paper on why Arabs are shit at war. It's just rather confounding when you get almost every country in the region to try and take on a smaller country, and fail quite spectacularly. Despite having sometimes better tech than the Israelis, the Egyptians and Syrians still had their offensives turn into outright routes by the end of the Yom Kippur war.
>>
>>29298080
technology is nothing when it is not maintained and cannot be applied. It does not work as a crutch for a culturally crippled army that does not work together, cannot train together, will not win together.

To use a video game analogy. It's like the Israelis were bots set to 'Medium' difficulty, while the Arabs were bots set to 'Do not move'.

The ancient kingdoms and empires of the middle east raised and supplied armies in sizes that asstonished europeans for a thousand years. It's not the climate, it's the people.
>>
>>29292796
I still can't understand how Arabs were unable to mobilize their larger manpower base. In 48 Israel had more combat troops than Arabs, in 67 the ratio was 2:1 in Arab favor. The Egyptians lost more men running than fighting. How fucking hard is it to tell the man "Dig in and hold", had the Egyptians done that they could have stooped the Israelis.
>>
>>29293334
Its the Arab mentality, centuries of Ottoman rule which brought relative stability to the region, where fighting was confined to small tribal armies has destroyed any large organizational culture. Before some one says its Islam, there is Islam in Chechnya, Bosnia, Albania, Turkey close to Arabs and for some reason they all know how to hold a fight. But all those regions have been in a state of regular warfare for centuries.

The climate and wildlife of the arid places (africa, south america, asia) made surviving easy, whereas cold and harsh europe meant people had to cooperate and innovate to survive.

>>
>>29299638

The Arab militaries have always had an extreme problem with tribalism and extreme authority separation.

I'm talking an unwillingness to cooperate between units at the level of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy and shit like unit commanders confiscating user manuals for newly delivered tanks, as crews being able to maintain their vehicles without having to get the info on how to do it from their officers would 'undermine authority'.

Of course it can be repeated. 67 Israel had a weapons embargo against it and it's only western ally was France while the Arabs got full support and the newest weapons from the USSR. Nowadays most of those countries have desintagrated into civil war and are armed with 40 years old soviet weapons while Israels military has one of the worlds largest budgets, advanced technology and a strong alliance with the US, cooperation with most EU armies and decent relations with Russia and China.
But that's kind of the reason this war will never happen. Arabs are not that delusional and Israelis are to westernised and have a conscription army so they wouldn't agree to go to war for no good reason. Especially tfat they can't really swallow or throw up the territories the captured back than.
>>
>>29298650
That's a reasonable thing to do when all of your surrounding countries declare a milirary alliance, blockade your ports (an act of war) kick out the UN observers from the borders and launch grandiose military parades publicly sending of their armies to ''erase the zionist entity''. Why did they expect the Israelis to wait to get attaked on all 3 fronts simultaneously when they could just Shlifenfuck the arabs instead.
>>
>>29300812
Egypt and Jordan actually have some decent tech nowadays, though American advisers have given very pessimistic reviews of Egypt's military readiness. Plus Egypt and Israel are cooperating in the Sinai against Hamas, and Jordan was never very enthusiastic about attacking Israel in the first place.

I think part of the problem is not being firmly aligned with any one nation.

The thing is, there's no historical basis for this, as the heebs have never faced an enemy that wasn't a pack of bottom-of-the-barrel shitters.

It's "detachable" in the same sense as the Enfield. It has a stripper guide for Mauser clips and you're supposed to charge it that way; the magazine is supposed to only be removed for cleaning and clearing.

There's no particular reason why they couldn't have had several to change on the fly, it's not like they're fragile or require hand-fitting like Enfield mags. AFAIK the Egyptians were only issued one apiece however.
>>
>>29301693

This is true. I guess I meant to say, their tacticians are good at the theory of war, and so far in practice they seem to be good at it as well.

It's the safe method but definitely sub-optimal as far as having the military work well.

Rafales and Su-30 MKI's not being able to datalink with each other or use common ammunition is a logistical clusterfuck. Rafale, Tejas, Su-30, Mig-29, and Mirage 2000 means 5 different aircraft with 5 different engines, 5 completely different supply chains for parts that comes from 3 different countries. If India buys F-35 that's another whole different supply chain to keep track of, with yet another engine.
