Cold War Impact

In 1973, Soviet advisors watched in horror as a massive Syrian offensive of 1,400 T-55 and T-62 tanks was halted by fewer than 100 "obsolete" Western tanks in the Golan Heights. How did the Israeli Sho't Kal (Centurion) defeat the superior Soviet armor in the Valley of Tears? We investigate the tactical secrets, the engineering flaws, and the specific ammunition that turned the tide of the Yom Kippur War and changed tank warfare forever. Thank you for watching!
