The extraordinary part to me, is that he and his commander knew they were dead before the 1st shot was fired. There's no way he whent into that expecting to live. He rushed to the front to DIE and happend to win the war and live. Just astonishing 😲
It's called valor. If you expect to live through such an incident, it's called stupidity. True valor requires a dedication to something greater than yourself. Hopefully it's something better than yourself too.
You sound like he had a choice in the matter. It's called war and that's how you fight it, all soldiers face dying, if they run away they can be shot by their own buddies, it's serious business and it takes some luck along with skill to come out alive. Preforming your duty is not extraordinary at all, unless you just never knew anything about the military before and that's what you sound like. Grow up, man up, and respect those that died for your freedoms. You may need to fight someday, who knows?
@@Billfish57 Understand that you do have a choice. Your a human not a robot. Thats what makes soldiers like him so interesting, he chose to fight despite knowing the math. You never know what you going to do until you actually see combat. Many man have given in to their most natural basic instinct to survive when faced with eminent death. Also to to have 1 tank hold an area against scores of enemy tanks looked like a waste of a tank to me. Given how strained their forces were they didn't have the luxury of throwing assets away like that. That tank was incredibly lucky.
Very true, he probably only expected to take out 1 or 2 tanks before losing his own life but it turns out training matters!

UN when Israel is being attacked: I see nothing worng here
UN when Israel starts winning: Ok, time for peace
Israel only exists because the UN created it, so I'm not sure what you're implying.
Also, even presenting it as Israel vs Syria is kinda misrepresenting the issue. The fact that Israel was involved would have been almost entirely irrelevant.
It's just another instance of US backed state is fighting a Soviet backed state.
As long as the Soviet backed side was winning, the Soviets were likely vetoing the ceasefire resolution (because that's a thing the UNSC allows for), because of course they did, their guy was winning.
Once Israel started winning, Soviets would have switched to backing a ceasefire, because duh, their guys are losing now. The Americans would still be willing to back a ceasefire, since the Israelis were still massively outnumbered, and keeping the war going would have risked the situation swinging back against the Israelis, and if that happened, the Soviets would go back to blocking a ceasefire, so, the it would have been in the Americans' best interests to stay in favor of a ceasefire even once their guys started winning.
This kind of shit happens to this day, i.e., whenever Israel decides to commit more war crimes against Palestinians, the US will block ceasefire resolutions so that Israel can keep doing whatever.
Go check your victim complex.
""UN when Israel is being attacked: I see nothing worng here
UN when Israel starts winning: Ok, time for peace"""
Lol! so true!
@@FNLNFNLN Israel would have come into existence with or without UN Resolution 181. Res 181 merely called for division of Palestine into an Arab state and a Jewish one. The Arabs rejected that but the Jews accepted the proposition.. Ben Gurion declared the State of Israel in May of 1948 and the US and the Soviet Union quickly recognized the country. This would have happened with or without Resolution 181 (partition resolution).
How is Israel being involved irrelevant in a war where Israel was attacked by multiple countries? That's kind of a stupid statement. The Palestinians had a chance for a country in 1947 but their Arab "brothers" refused it. The Palestinians have been rejecting it ever since because they think that they can regain all of Israel.
In your world apparently Hamas and Hezbollah are blameless and commit no aggression or crimes toward Israel but when Israel responds to attacks in self defense that is a crime. I think it's a good thing to allow Israel to smash every rocket launcher firing rockets into Israel no matter where they are located.
Go check your victim blaming privilege.
@@percyfaith11 1) I'm not going to pretend I know enough about the politics of the creation of Israel to comment, but it still stands that all the entities you're trying to accuse of hating Israel (other than the Arabs already living in the area and their natural allies in the region, who's land was being taken) were instrumental to it's creation.
2) Israel is not irrelevant in the war. It's irrelevant to all the politics involved in the ceasefire. If the facts on the ground were the same, you could replace the countries with any other set of Russian and US backed states and seen the same outcomes.
3) "The Arabs refused a Palestinian state". Let's say hypothetically, you got a house that had multiple previous owners. Then, some of the old residents start moving back in. Then the city comes in and tells you, "Hey, that half of your house? It belongs to the old residents now. But you can keep the rest of it as your property!". You going to take that deal? Or are you going to tell the people trying to do that to fuck off?
4) "Palestinians have been rejecting a deal ever since". That's a flat out lie. Hamas has accepted a 2 state solution with '67 borders since what, 2011? Maybe a bit earlier? The only barrier to peace now is the right wing Israeli government that continuously pushes illegal settlements into originally Palestinian land thinking THEY can take the entire area for themselves. It's not hard to look at the local maps to see who's making a landgrab of the region.
5) Hamas and Hezbollah are hardly innocent, but the violence being committed in the region is hardly equal. Hamas fires a few homemade rockets that get shot down and barely do damage, Israel retaliates with guided bombs that destroy hospitals and media buildings. All it takes is a simple look at the casualty numbers whenever one of those flare ups happen. Look at the most recent one in 2019. Over 100 Palestinians dead, about 10 Israeli deaths. And let's not forget that this is provoked by the continual construction of illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land, and the displacement of Palestinians to accomplish that, let alone the blockading of basic necessities into places like the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
While I'm perfectly happy to acknowledge that Hamas and other Palestinian groups are wrong for targeting civilians (probably because they lack anything sophisticated enough to only target military targets), you seem entirely unwilling to place ANY blame on the Israeli government. (Note: Government. Not Jews, the right wing government of Israel, a distinction that has to be made because people like you like making SJW Victim Olympics cries of antisemitism whenever someone criticizes with the actions of the Israeli government).
If the Israeli government was interested in defense, and peace, they wouldn't be pushing illegal settlements into Palestinian land. They wouldn't be making offensive strikes into Palestinian territory demolishing entire civilian structures, when Iron Dome is entirely capable of defending Israel against the crude rockets the Palestinians manage to scrape together. They would accept a 2 state solution with '67 borders as Hamas as agreed to for a decade now.
While Israel was the victim in the case of the Yom Kippur war, the politics surrounding the ceasefire are a result of Cold War geopolitics; none of the local political or religious tensions were relevant.
In the modern day, Israel is not even close to being the victim. It may have been the victim at one point, but the tables turned decades ago, and Israel, instead of deciding to pursue peace, instead decided they wanted to be the aggressors. Having been victimized in the past does not give you free reign to victimize others in the present.

One other thing that help zika was the TAP pipeline. The chain link fence that was above the pipeline became zvika's additional tanks because after firing and moving a few times zvika's tank was dragging hundreds of yards of fencing that helped confuse the Syrians as to where and how many tanks they were facing. Just a amazing stand against the odds.
yes amazing that the vastly superior forces of he syrians couldnt work out it was one tank.... they had night vision and lots of tank.. but appears not the courage of the one desperate alone man fighting against them.... he used taht fact that he didn't have to worry about hitting friends to his advantage I guess....
i think we all put ourselves in his place and wonder wtf we woudl do.... i don't think i could have done a fifth as well as he did.. just impressive... mind boggling...
there was a man who knew he had to get in there and do what he could to halt the attacking forces to give his people to come to his aid....

It is interesting how the UN pushed hard for a ceasefire only after the Israeli forces had turned the tide, and started hammering on the Arab forces in there own territory. Up to that point, the efforts of the UN to accomplish a ceasefire had been pretty lackluster. Amazing how quickly Israel's successful counterattacks lit a fire under the UN's butts.
UN in a Nutshell.
They always did that to Defending countries.
well what do you want, its diplomatic bussinuess, idk what do you excpect to intiate cease fire in 3 minutes and 20 seconds in midle of midle east
And most of influential countries in UN were and still are on side of Israel
There are still two countries with UN veto power who have no great love for Israel, and those were the ones supplying weapons and training for the Arab forces at the time. When Israel was first attacked, they were the ones that drug their feet on the ceasefire initiative, until the Israelis turned the tide of battle, then they were suddenly awakened from their reverie, and all to willing to move for peace.
It's a historical pattern that persists to this day.
Have this as a rule of thumb - if the UN calls for a ceasefire in Israel, this means Israel is winning the war.
The UN is better at mourning of the past tragedies than preventing further ones. It’s easier to talk about a genocide in the news, media and such in which they form some weak resistance that would never actually take action at an upcoming one. Hypocrisy.

Brings me meaning to "If God is with me, who can be against me?"
Indeed. Well said.
wait what? Literally every single Christian denomination in Palestine, from Roman Catholic to Greek Orthodox, literally condemned Christian Zionism as a heresy. I was raised Catholic and I don’t recall seeing one thing in the Bible that suggests the modern state of Israel should receive Christian support. What I do remember, is that Jesus literally said that His kingdom would not be of this world (see John 18:36), which puts much doubt into the claims that the modern state of Israel will be God’s kingdom. Not to mention that those who claim to predict the end times (which include Christian Zionists) are false prophets, as nobody can predict what time Christ will return (see Matthew 24:36)
I suggest looking at Stephen Sizer’s works condemning and dismantling Christian Zionism. He is an Anglican priest that has a good amount of credibility. Also suggest looking at what Reverend Alex Awad, a Palestinian Evangelical leader, has to say about Christian Zionism.
or if a god existed, who could be against me.
by the way, the same god concept was with every1 in this conflict. They just worship the same tale in an old and in a new form.

I met a an Israeli man in 2000. The skin on his entire head, face, neck, arms and hands was a knarled and discolored mass of scar tissue. I asked him which war he had fought in and it turned out it was the Yom Kippur war. He was a tank driver and his unit had been encircled. His tank was hit by a missile and turned into an inferno. The drivers hatch was warped by the heat and frozen shut . His commander jumped on top and told him to hang on as he tried to pry open the hatch. My new acquaintance decided to say his final prayers as his body began to burn. He told me that an angelic figure held him and spoke softly to him. There was a second explosion as the tank was hit again and he was literally blown out through the hatch. The commander was killed as was the rest of the crew. Subsequently he remembers that the angel stayed at his side until he awoke from a coma in a burn unit three weeks later. Turns out he had been rejected during triage and set aside to die, but a nurse fought with the doctors and accosted every officer she could find until he was accepted for treatment.

With such a feat under his belt it's no wonder.
A legend to every tanker in the I.D.F for sure.
Syrians:We have 1400 tanks,what do you have!!
IDF:We have the Zvika Force led by a 21 years old kid!!

I had the honor of shaking his hand, great work covering his amazing story
I was north of him with the 7th Armored. We got hit by 3 divisions and we managed to stop them all
Reading more and more about this war. With a tank ratio of 10:1 (Ten being the Syrians) + element of surprise + full logistics support, all against a thinned down Israeli counter force - demonstrates what exceptional soldiers these men where.
Probably some of the best ever to fight in a tank.
Talked with this hero once, very modest
Destroying 20 tanks within one day, is the highest number of tanks that were destroyed within one day by one tank crew. Interestingly, I haven't heard of him.
Im pretty sure there was a german commander who had destroyed more tanks but impressive nonetheless
@@randomsoup9465 kurt knispel, I have indeed heard of him, he destroyed an estimated number of 170 tanks within 5 years. But Greengold destroyed 20 within a single day.
Salute to the gunners and drivers of his tanks too. Training really does pay off.
Don’t forget the loaders.
The IDF's number of heroes are becoming hard to keep track of with how many they are. Then again, their bravery and dedication to doing their utmost best comes from the simple fact that Israel can't actually afford to retreat or lose a single war. Losing a war means they are annihilated. If there's no retreat and no surrender, for if they surrender they will get killed anyway, the size of their brass balls grow exponentially. Knowing the potential fate of their family should they fail is one heck of a motivation to perform.
And we also know that the only reason they didn't end up totally annihilating their enemies is because the UN stepped in to stop *Israel* from crushing all the Arabs who attacked them first, not to defend Israel from their enemies. The UN is trash.
Edit; Not the UN entirely, the USSR as well, thanks for the corrections.
Respect from Norway.
❤️
I think you will find that the Russians threatened to intervene if the Israelis did not halt their advance, not the UN.
@@Hattonbank Little know fact, their airforce did fight the Israeli airforce. I think it was at the time when the Sinaï was in Israeli hands. Unsure if it was a Binkov vid or someone else.
UN didn't stop the Israelis. USSR deployed nuclear strategic bombers and subs to the Middle East and threatened to nuke Israel, that's the only reason Israelies stopped their advance on Cairo and Damascus.
@@santiagoTo Fun thing is they'd probably have taken both cities if they weren't stopped, and the Middle East would probably have been better off for it. Also, added the Russians to my original comment, so thanks for the corrections.
The 188th was NEVER "obliterated"! We were decimated, but still a fighting force, to the day we were relieved by fresh reserve units. (Former Platoon Sgt., 188th Armored Recon Company).
Kinda nit picking here.
@@creativehorse7907 Unless you were there, or have been in a similar situation, you could have the good grace to at least respect those who have. "Nit-picking"? The 188th is an active brigade to this day, with different faces but the same courage. Try it some time.
@@greywolf852 I have not been in your shoes, but I dare launch a counter offer: you and we have different ways of using words.
Russia, deemed the most tolerant to loosing huge numbers of men and material, consideres a unit combat ineffective when it has suffered 50% losses. Anything beyond that is either obliterated or destroyed.
You on the other hand, state that a tank is either burning or operating.
Binkov used the Russian words. They sound the same as what you would use for a unit that has no survivors. Please accept our appologies for using words that cause this confusion.
@@sjonnieplayfull5859 The Yom Kippur War was an unusual proposition for us over the first few days, until the reserve units began to come up and the force on hand on 6 October was a holiday skeleton force. Two brigades with a total of about 150 tanks against Syrian divisions with around 1400.
7th and 188th were equipped with upgraded Centurions against T-54, T-55 and T-62 Soviet-made tanks. The T-62s had night fighting equipment that we lacked.
The IDF kill ratio was still 11-1. I seriously doubt if there was any kind of armored battle like this one since WWII in Kursk and Kharkov. Certainly nothing nearly so savage.
@@greywolf852 The only thing, going by numbers, was Desert Quench, but the quality difference meant the Iraqi forces might as well have used armoured knights.
Going by K-D ratio, only Bilotte's wild ride comes to mind, he was alone too, yet his tank outmatched anything the Germans had that day.
I have nothing but the utmost respect for the IDF and the way they held on, then and now. The way they use blitzkrieg tactics to perfection would make any old German cry, and rightly so. From your words I recon you were there. You have my respect as well.

Respect to the fallen.
One Israeli tank commander versus 100 Syrian tanks? Gee, that's not at all fair, I hope those Syrians will be okay.

And how about the man who let this man reach the high ground in order to get the advantage. Go check the other side of your story!

In a Israel we call this story Zvika Force. It is taught to this day in the Idf and in the Armored Corps.
" We're out numbered 10 to 1"
" Then its an even fight".
It was 100 to 1
Israel is just like a pro gamer
"He took the more damaged tank" ..respect!
Israel has a very strange history...Time and again the destruction of Israel was prevented by the thinnest and most improbable of margins.
When your family is an hour drive away from the battle and you know that if you lose it could mean the destruction of your country, your will to fight can never be matched
@@KillerMZE In the Yom Kippur war, the Israeli casualty is so high that for a normal Israeli citizen, either you lost a relative, or at least know a friend who lost theirs.
We have god and anime on our side
"Remember your training." Good way to survive a war.
There is a superb Israeli television series that covers all of this, it is outstanding. It is called “valley of tears”, honestly it is a must watch. Hebrew with English subtitles.
I have been watching it for the past 4 weeks, truly amazing show!
Agreed.
That's almost Biblical in the way it played out. It always amazes me the way Israel is able to stand on its own to fight a war that reclaimed its historical capital, and having done all stands a sovereign nation. We should never forget.

Israel would have lost had the US not intervined. The USSR was going to get involved so that is why Israel had to back off as soon as they mobilized. But really the US air force won the vast majority of the war.
God bless Israel
I often forget that it's not just the commander but rather the whole crew which is the reason for the victory.

@@Beaast007What?
After each kill the tank team experience points were going up and stats, reload time was reducing, accuracy was increasing, range was increasing, vision was increasing. By the end of his 100 kill the tank team could shoot 100km away, sight the enemy in 1 second and reload 1ms. Someone forgot to code an upper limit on experience and stats points.
Holy s-
Vulcan Cannon - FTL
The fact that they attacked Israel in its most "weak" time - The 'yom kippur" holiday where there is no use of electricity, you dont eat or drink AND on a Shabbath - the jewish day of "rest". Combine these two events together and you get the israeli army, emergency services and infrastructure in its weakest and most un-prepared state. AND THEY STILL WON! Inspiring...
Remember, MoD Moshe Dayan even considered dropping nuclear bombs to stop the invasion. Those were desperate times for Israel.
They didn’t rly win
They had lots of casualties compared to the last war
Shows the idf isn’t invincible
Egypt had a huge political advantage
@@The-ZebraFinch-Channel And thats how Egypt got Sinai back, making them equals in the political table, and eventually paving the way for diplomatic relations with Israel.
So technically, both wins in this situation.
@@darnit1944 agreed. It’s such a shame that Syria had even better weapons than Egypt yet they were the ones that lost the most?!
This is how to do war. We salute you, Lt Greengold!
I’m honestly impressed that binkov stopped forgetting to turn on his translator
@opener of the world Copy-pasting your message to places where it's totally off-topic won't help your credibility. Just sayin'.
@@Makky265 you seriously think the USSR supporting Syria and Egypt is equivalent to US/NATO support for Israel? The USSR mostly armed the Syrians and Egyptians with lower quality export variants of their own weapons and armor. They didn’t want their top-notch equipment from falling into Western hands. Combine this with the comparatively lower standard of training of most Middle Eastern militaries as well as tons of Western support for Israel which resulted in the Arab defeat.
@@nguyenbaokhiem6728 You did hear the part where Binkov said their armour also included Shermans? You know, the thing that the Germans called 'Tommy Cooker' exactly twenty years before?
Go on, repeat how the Israeli had the tech advantage....
Israeli soldiers when they are surrounded and out numbered - fighting until death, even if they are left alone.
Syrian soldiers when attacked by 2 half burnt Israeli tanks - this is an ambush! retreat!!!
I live in Israel and they thought us this story, nice to see it appear elsewhere then in my school, great job
I dont blame the israelis for their actions recently. They literally are surrounded by many external enemies as seen by this desperate war in the past. Therefore they must maintain an iron grip on internal conflict(palestine). I await the angry comments.
I too wait for the 13 year old Malaysian's that can barely read a basic Peter and Jane picture book.
@Ahoosi Foou: I am pretty sure that by leaving Europe and the US to go to that place and "acting out" once they got there that they actually "surrounded themselves. The west chose to "fix" its own long standing, and self created problem (endemic anti jewish sentiments and frequent pogroms) by exporting Jewish people to land which had been long occupied by other people instead of doing honest justice by restoring the land and property that was taken from them by their own kind fellow white westerners in Europe during the rise of nazism and fascism. For some reason, white westerners, and their allies and apologists seem to believe that only white westerners have this special entitlement to go wherever they wish and to take land, resources, vengeance, you name it, backed by unlimited use of violence. Of course, there is always some specious justification for it which no other groups are allowed to make. Good luck running that tired game indefinitely...
@@dpeasehead This "colonialism" angle, doesn't work. Look up the demographics of Israel, it's not even majority white. Most of the younger generation are mixed race.
Also "doing honest justice by restoring the land and property that was taken from them" What land and property? most Jews lived in eastern Europe which was more war torn than any other region in WW2. The scars and trauma of the Holocaust meant that no Jew could ever trust their neighbor ever again. Most Jews fled to the USA and Mandatory Palestine as refugees.
@@hellfun1337 Israel is just as colonial as any other white settler regime, which is why it was so buddy buddy with South Africa during the worse days of apartheid. Never forget cuts both ways.
@@dpeasehead south Africa was separated along racial lines.
Israel is separated along religious lines (even though 2 million Muslims are full citizens). there is no comparison. Also, it's not a white settler state when most Jews are not even white.
Saw a documentary on this, it said that the t55s didn't have enough elevation angles to engage the isreili tanks effectively . . .pretty amazing
That's what happens when you put a giant gun into a small tank (relatively speaking).
I think you mean DE-pression.
someone actually speaking facts
I know it's just a game but in World of tank elevation and depression in cold war era soviet tank is really shit, soviet tanks are just great in a big plain, as soon as you have some hills you can abuse their weaknesses. Also their tank were really crammed and so the crew were not in an environment conducive to good crew work. Soviet tanks were made to just rush in mass and were crap for all the rest.
Age of tanks right?
I support Israel they have the right to defend themselves from its enemies
Its the same with the arabs then
@@Mr.tuffaha Did some arab countries experienced being attacked by multiple states at once
@@aweslayne Israel have allies
They've got enemies 'cause they were terrorists who bombed places causing thousand of deaths they were no victims but victimaries
@@aweslayne Yup Iraq and Lebanon by USA and its allies. In Lebanon it was USA and Israel. You forget the many assasinations and sabotage by Mossad.
Zvika force 👍 his team. That gunner, driver and commander. Wow!
You forget the loader/operator, without which the tank is not fully operational.
Each crew-member is an integral part of the combat effectiveness of the tank. No loader = no bang.
Thank you Binkov. Never underestimate your enemy, nor your self.
Believe in your training, and in your cause.
Peace.
One of your best videos so far! An amazing job! :D
The tank commander was smart to use the weakness of the enemy’s tank which is elevation and depression.
Exactly soviet tank gun depression is horrible and the defending force in a hull down position in the wide open desert is like a dream but still an amazing feat.
@@myopicthunder It's always in the Soviet doctrine. They want tanks that swarms their enemies in numbers.
Therefore, the tanks need to have as low profile as possible to not get shot at. At the same time, low profile tank meant shit depression.
That war was brutal my grandfather was a veteren of this war he fought on the golan heights inside a tank just like Zvika against coalition of Syria and Egypt army forces I was told he managed to defeat the forces and win the battle but some of his friends have died during the war. Since then my grandfather have been deprested and sad, my uncle was named after a family member who died, my dad said that he and his mother have suspected that he was suffering from PTSD, he was overweight, ill of diabetes, he smoked cigarettes he was himself anymore since of that event he unforchantly passed away 10 years ago. I wished that I could be with him any longer but that's life and I'm greatful that I've met him. I belive this war was very crual and one who shouldn't existed in the first place but that's history and I'm greatful that my grandfather was a hero that I could saw in my childhood I miss you grandpa.
All wars are bad.Your grandfather and his friends were heroes.
Much respect to your grandfather. If the enemy would have won, no Jews would have survived. The Arabs don't care much for human life. 🙏
I don't think people other than the Israelis themselves will understand that defeat is not an option when you fight an enemy that wants you and your entire people exterminated.

When you know your country is the only safe place you have for you and for your loved ones, you will do what ever it takes to win the war. That why Israel won every war since we gain independence.

@@enderreaper1482 there is no peace between the wolf and the lamb. No peace between Satan and God. That Israel has been fighting for survival since basically the dawn of time only attests to that.
Shanah tovah, Jonathan.
I don't think Israel really won every war. During the 1982 Lebanon War, Israel ended up creating the perfect environment for Hezbollah to form, and the occupation of South Lebanon from 1985 to 2000 helped Hezbollah to expand and increase its influence, and the 2006 Lebanon War showed glaring problems in the IDF, such as poor use of combined-arms and major vulnerabilities to anti-tank weapons.
