Yes ofcourse we wanted,but peace was better for us.Peace with Israeli terms would be more specific. Israel wanted to keep their settlements in the Sinai protected by IDF soldiers, Israel wanted to keep the 3 airports in the Sinai, Israel also wanted half of the Suez canal. Peace happened, eh let's say true. But, Israel doesn't have settlements in the Sinai and no soldiers in there, too. And, it doesn't have half of the Suez canal as they tried on the 15th of July 1967.
Egyptian tanks the T-55 had 100mm gun with no range finder. While the Israeli M48s had 105mm gun with an optical range finder. Technologically, to this date, Egypt was never superior to Israel in it's terms. In quantity though, we have always been superior. The T-54/55 is not superior to the M48.
For the Jets, yours were much more superior and Egypt avoided as much as possible facing plane to plane fight. Thus, they used the SAM missiles to neutralize your air force.
Eh, I guess you're speaking of the Syrians. We did have support too, but because of the events we didn't really use it and some of them ran back home. If you want a complete list of all Egypt's support from the outside, you can ask me for it.
In 1956 you were not alone, were you? It was Israel, France AND Britain that was a major power by the time. And we backed off from the Sinai because Nasser believed that if he keeps fighting the IDF from the border, he will find the British and the French coming from the Suez Canal that will make the entire Egyptian army ambushed. But, we're not talking about 1956, we're talking about 1973 so let's please stay on topic, shall we?
I demand a proof. In 1973, no-body aimed for taking Jerusalem or Tel Aviv and all those stuff you're saying. If that's true, I ask for proof. But I believe you will not find any because that's not true.
Egypt also had T-72's.alot of them if im not wrong .You had night vision for sure.And as i said.Much bigger army.
Air superiorty?Our jets might been more advanced.But you had much bigger air force.And you mean tried to neutralize our airforce,unsuccessfully.
Yes in 1956 we werent alone,Britian and france assisted us.But yet your army was bigger.You can check that for yourself.
I will try to find you the source..i read that long time ago.
