    When Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel, a young Lieutenant by the name of Zvi Greengold rushed to defend the country. Under his command he has 2 Centurion tanks. They've just been fixed and he heads out to battle at night. What happened next is an incredible feat. In the battle he repeatedly engaged the enemy's T-55s and T-62s. Having been hit several times he was injured and forced to change tanks but still took the battle to the attackers. When the battle was over, Zvi Greengold had spent almost 30 consecutive hours in a tank, during which he is known to have destroyed at least 20 Syrian machines. His superiors believe the true number to be closer to 40, and higher estimates put it closer to 60.

      @@benwilson6145 A note on that. The take-away from the Indo-Pakistan war wasn't that "better tanks win," because if that were the case, the Pakistanis with their hundreds of mid-model Pattons would have won. Instead, they lost. And they lost more tanks than the Indians even had to fight them with. At the battle of Asal Uttar, India had a mix of 45 Centurion Mark Is, 45 M4 Shermans, and 45 AMX-13s. Pakistan had 220 M47 and M48 Pattons and 44 Chaffees. And the Indians did engage the Pattons with their Shermans at shorter ranges to rob the Pattons of their advantages. Pakistan also failed to do any recon, and drove many of those tanks into a muddy plain, getting stuck, allowing the Indians an easy ambush with largely inferior and outdated tanks supported by only slightly more modern ones. By the end of that fight, Pakistan lost over 100 tanks. The Indians captured about 40 of them. The rest were unserviceable. The Indians only lost 10 tanks in return, which were able to be returned to service after repair and cleaning.
      Superior training, tactics and recon is what brought victory for the Indians in that war.

    The Isreali Centurion was named the Sho't if I remember correctly. One of the reasons the Centurion was able to easily destroy the T-55, is because the APDS fired by a Centurion is able to penetrate the T-55 with relative ease due to the speed of a sub calibre round.
    Edit: It's come to my attention that this isn't the whole picture, so before you just believe my comment *please* read the replies!

      Yeah there’s the Sho’t Meteor which is just an Israeli Centurion with a Rolls-Royce Meteor engine in it and the Sho’t Kal variants (Alef/Bet/Gimel/Dalet). APDS has moderately high armour penetrating capability as the shell travels pretty fast and has a high kinetic energy. Spalling and other post-penetration effects however are minimal.

    the tank commander that personally trained me when i joined the Armored Brigade always told me a very important fact about being a tank crewman.
    " *you can spend 5 years in a tank without any battles and call yourself an tanker. but be in armored combat for more then 5 minutes and stay live and you have become an Ace. survive to tell the story and you've become a Veteran. keep on fighting and your a Hero. what makes you a dangerous Tank Commander isnt how effectively you can lead your other crewmen, but how effectively you can make them do what they are trained NOT to do, which is to be unreadable. being able to do that one little movement when not expected can mean the difference between life and death. proper cooperation and coordination with the rest of the crew, mainly the Driver and gunner in modern vehicles can make your unit into a one-tank army.* "
    he was right as well. if you are able to cooperate and coordinate with your crew as if they were the limbs of a body, and you were it's brain, but that tank it's heart, then you can become so damn dangerous that most other units, be that foot units or armored units alike, will simply be too stressed and afraid that they can barely do what they are supposed to do. i don't mean to sound cocky or anything of the likes at all, but i feel like the man that trained me could command a unit so well that IF he was up against another battallion of tanks he would be victorious. he was a genious when it came to outsmart other units by simply getting his eyes on an area of oppertunity. what he very often like to do was take those routes that other tank crews would not as they slow them down. but most of the time they are also the least expected areas for a tank to open fire from, which means that eyes are not set there because of that. i hope i never have to use the skills and knowledge he gave me and taught me, and not because i am afraid of dying, but because i fear they might be too effective. especially if i am able to get a look on the surroundings that i would be either defending or attacking. i don't want to fight a war simply because of the unnesesary loss of life it would result in...

    This feels like an action video game plot. You are some random reserve solider as a massive army is invading and must single handedly fight off against overwhelming odds again and again. Tutorial: test out the tank, travel to point, aim and fire at the enemy tanks. tutorial finishes when radio fails and you get in the other tank with full health, fuel, and ammo. Mission 2, murder in the dark: fight the enemy troops alone. Bonus objective to stay undetected and to prevent them from realizing you are alone. Mission 3: reinforcements, reinforce the base under attack. Mission 4: desperate last stand, you are inside the base and must survive and hold the line. Mission 5: help is on the way, travel to the base as fast as possible to reinforce them. You arrive and find out that there is no giant battle but you and your crew survived and made it. Have it be a bit like the battlefield campaigns where you switch between different peoples stories.

    The centurion tank was one of the most successful main battle tanks ever made, somw countries still use modernized centurions to this day.

      But not in the 1970s. It was just a basic tank that was modified with a l/7 105mm barrel and that's the only distinct features which can only be used to compete with mordern mbt in 1970. I am sure you know that the iserial military didn't issue inferred night vision for the tanks but instead used night vision goggles only for the commander but the Syrians tanks had it as standard issue. So the centurion wasn't really that advanced.

    Allegedly, one of the things that threw off the Syrians is that intercepted radio communications had them convinced they were dealing with an enemy tank brigade.
    They didn't know "Zvika Force" was a single tank with a madman of a commander.
    At one point, he was asked by an Israeli officer how many tanks he had. His reply was, "My situation isn't good. I can't tell you how many." If the enemy had known they were facing a single enemy tank, they would have just closed in and overrun him.

  • @m_0714

    This story reminds me of this:
    The Valley of Tears
    During the Yom Kippur War, a small impossibly outnumbered Israeli force held back a large portion of the Syrian army, for four days in the Golan Heights. The Syrians were armed with hundreds of tanks, but gave the Israeli forces a false sense of security revealing only a few of their tanks in battle formation for months before the massive attack they had planned. If this attack was successful they could have taken Israel. They had three infantry divisions and over a thousand tanks. At one point, it was said to be just three Israeli tanks against one hundred and fifty Syrian tanks. A sergeant, out of shells wanted to leave his position, but was ordered to stay put. With no ammo, he was up against impossible odds. It would take a miracle to save him; to save Israel, and that’s just what happened. The Syrians retreated, just when the Israeli force was on the verge of collapse! It has been theorized that the Syrians didn’t know the tanks were out of shells and seeing only a few tanks changing positions, they may have believed that Israel had more tanks than they actually did. However, a Syrian soldier swears an army of Angels surrounded those few tanks Israel had and considering the rate of miracles surrounding the small country of Israel, that could truly be what happened in what is now known as, the Valley of Tears.
    Psalm 121:4
    Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
    Amen.

      Not trying to be 'picky' - just accurate.

As a result, the back engine-deck looks completely different from the one illustrated in the video. The Centurions initially stationed on the Golan at the beginning of the 1973 War were all the upgraded model.@@airplanemaniacgaming7877

    It's an overall great video, but I wanted to say one thing: In the beginning, you had a Jewish family standing in front of a chanukiah (candlabra). The day on which this war started was yom kippur, the Jewish day of atonement. The candlabra is the symbol of chanukah which is in December, not October. Great video though!

      Technically it's not a chanukiah, it's a menorah. A chanukah has a total of 9 candles, but the one depicted has only 7. Still an odd choice for Yom Kippur.
