For real. Not to take away from Israel’s situation in the late 20th century, but there are a whole bunch of countries in MENA constantly getting invaded by their neighbours, or collapsing due to regime change and internal coups.

Thatcher, Rainbow 6 siege
Hamas has shown the IDF is in noway a top notch military outfit. They seem to be clueless. Can't find any of it's people and had the most successful military op ever committed against them
I don’t see what that has to do with Israel. Is this about Palestine since it gets more aid then it’s own GDP?
@khlaps It is a reference to R6 that applies to Israel. Israel over-relied on technology to give them an edge. Thus, the Thatcher quote applies as Israel used technology as a crutch to lean on.
On the contrary, I think technology is the most reliable tool we have and Israel’s problem was underestimating their enemy.
The Yom Kipur War was very similar to this one. Both had walls deemed impenetrable, both had intelligence failures, and in both the Israelis thought their technological advantages (air or general) were too vast for anything to happen.
and both occurred 50 years apart.
Yet they won
yet they wont that war and will win this one with far less troops lost than their opponent.
@@anton2417 even when this war is won, the lives lost are far, far too many. Just like 9/11, I'm not sure 10/7/23 (or 2023-10-07 for you %Y-%m-%d nerds like me) will ever be forgotten. The lives lost that day cannot be lost in vain.
That’s the point as to why Hamas chose that date… the differences between the two is that on Yom Kippur, they attacked military infrastructure, on Oct. 7 Hamas attacked civilians.
This makes it a whole different ballgame in terms of retaliation

The thing is is that you can have all the fancy tech and weapons in your military but if the guys in charge take their eye off the ball it all means nothing. If Israel didn’t divert so much attention and forces away from Gaza and towards the West Bank then the attack on October 7th wouldn’t have nearly been as devastating.
yeap they overextend their security forces too much and focus way too much on the west bank when they should have focus on the Gaza since they relied to much on their high tech border wall with Gaza
this a view point from a civilian like me
The thing is that just 20-25 years ago Israel had the ability to be on all fronts easily(inside Lebanon,Gaza,West Bank)with thousands more tanks and hundreds of more Artillery and much more people,the Army was intentionally cut to minimal size by politicians.
that is far from the truth tbh, they moved about 50-100 troops from gaza to the west bank that weekend.
Israel and IDF failed on understanding the intentions of the enemy, in the fight itself the IDF is doing some historic level winning in the gaza strip.
@@yakov95000 They still have that capability if it is required.
Don't forget Israel can call up around ~5 million reserve soldiers.
Such an army when used defensively would by conventional military doctrine and understanding require an army 4 times its size in order to defeat.
The Muslim nations would require to raise an army the size of the US army during WW2 in order to defeat Israel, they don't have the money, nor the trained men in order to do this.
Let alone the fact that other Western nations wouldn't stand by doing nothing lol.
5 million? huh , Israel has 1,499,998 males, age 17-49 available for military service and 1,499,998 males, age 17-49 (2016) fit for military service, but just reservists right now there are only 400k, and also i agree arab nations wontt defeat israel but rather it will be inhouse fighting which destroys israel
Just another example how greatest strenght becomes greatest weakness.
Quite true, especially on this day and age, the war is evolving and not becoming stagnant especially if you deal on the so called "psychological warfare". Now if Israel won the war against the Hamas or any Islamic terror groups or onto her Arab neighbors through real combat or battle but they'd severely suffer from the psychological warfare and they lost it and again, Israel would face an uncertain future for their country both on economic, political and military. This is what happen to the United States when they'd invaded Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan for the past 50 years and the US had never learned their lesson. The same situation might happen to Israel and even to Ukraine right now. We'll blame to President Biden later but now I would like to share this one question that I'd asked to an AI generated tool known as Poe which is owned by a social media app called Quora and I'd asked him on what if both Israel and Ukraine would loose their Psy-war against their enemies in spite of their high tech warfare that been use and won their real battles or wars and this is his answer and it's up to you if you'll believe the answer or not:
The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the conflict between Israel and Hamas, are complex and multifaceted. While psychological warfare certainly plays a role, it is just one aspect among many in these conflicts. It is important to note that I cannot provide real-time analysis or predict the future, so I can only offer a general perspective based on historical knowledge up to September 2021.
If Russia and Hamas were to achieve significant success in their psychological warfare against Ukraine and Israel, respectively, it could have various consequences for the losing sides:
Ukraine: If Russia were to win the psychological warfare against Ukraine, it could lead to a further erosion of public morale and support for the Ukrainian government's efforts to resist Russian aggression. This could potentially weaken the resolve of the Ukrainian population, negatively affecting military recruitment and overall national unity. Additionally, successful psychological warfare by Russia might lead to increased divisions within Ukrainian society, undermining efforts to maintain stability and resist Russian influence.
Israel: If Hamas were to win the psychological warfare against Israel, it could lead to increased fear, anxiety, and demoralization among the Israeli population. This could potentially strain public support for the Israeli government's actions and policies, making it more challenging to sustain military operations and maintain national unity. Successful psychological warfare by Hamas might also result in international pressure on Israel to change its approach or policies, affecting its diplomatic standing.
It's important to emphasize that the outcome of these conflicts is determined by numerous factors beyond psychological warfare alone. Military capabilities, political dynamics, international support, economic factors, and other strategic considerations all play significant roles. Psychological warfare can certainly influence public opinion and shape the narrative, but it is just one part of a broader conflict.
It is also worth noting that conflicts often have unpredictable and dynamic outcomes. The effectiveness of psychological warfare can vary, and its impact may be mitigated or countered by other factors and strategies employed by the opposing sides. Therefore, it is challenging to make definitive predictions about the consequences of winning or losing psychological warfare in these ongoing conflicts.
You must be a wise one..

Moldova, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan were a part of USSR.
Quality suffers as they devote more resources to kissing Israel's ass.
There is no question that October 7 was a colossal failure by the Israeli military and establishment, but the technological failure is overstated. The failure was mainly conceptual: the establishment never could have imagined that Hamas would risk its very existence and everything it had built up over 15+ years, just for a few hours of senseless slaughter. The border forces were not insufficient because the IDF was turned into a small army - it's actually not meaningfully smaller than at any time in the past 20 years. The reason was that the army just released everyone home for the holidays and diverted some of the remainder, because who would think that Hamas would do such a thing? This was the conceptual mistake. Despite ample warnings from the field, there wasn't a single person in the establishment who actually believed that this would lead to an attack. This is why the border fence was extremely hard to penetrate below ground, where Hamas could have dug covertly, but was very easy to destroy above ground, where no one could imagine Hamas coming.
The problem for Israel's enemies however, is that this trick only works once, for at least 20-25 years. On the other hand, the cutting-edge technology works for a long time. Since October 8, Israel has lost just above 200 troops in the fighting, and only 150 or so to enemy fire. Hamas lost 10,000. Sure, the IDF troops have air and artillery support; but Hamas has an underground tunnel network, prepared for an attack for years, and Israel is prevented from fully utilizing its weapons due to international pressure on civilian casualties, among which Hamas hide. The groundbreaking technology is what has allowed Israel to make relatively quick progress with relatively few casualties.
You are presenting the casualty figure published by the Z'nist regime, which is entirely inaccurate. The Z'nist regime announces the deaths of senior officers only, not the regular soldiers. And the death toll of Palestinian resistance fighters is exaggerated to please the subjects of Z'nist regime, while 15,000 children have been killed by indiscriminate bombing of Gaza.
@@srafid2000you’re presenting the figure of the genocidal terrorist organization Hamas, which is entirely inaccurate. The Islamist regime publishes false numbers and has been exposed for not only completely making up the numbers, publishing them seconds after an attack which makes no sense since it would take hours if not days to give a reliable number, but also dressing up their terrorists in civilian clothes as shown by dozens of videos. Daily reminder that if the bombing of Gaza was indiscriminate the deaths would be in the hundreds of thousands at best. Try less Al Jazeera and other Qatari propaganda before opening your mouth next time?
@@srafid2000This is highly inaccurate😂

This is the same situation the US found itself in with Vietnam and the Soviet Union found in Afghanistan. All the high tech stuff is great, but in the end you still have to go dig the enemy out of the tunnels and houses to win.

its note mentioning that US aid can only be spent on US equipment built in the US....
so, it can be used to buy/finance israeli made systems.
Yeah it's actually smart spending by the US, cause it means they give Israel money, which Israel then spends on weapons produced by American companies, which then pay tax money back to the US government and the money that is left gets spent inside of the US, meaning the money never leaves the US economy and only makes it stronger.
Yes it is smart and mutually benefitial
Don't forget that the US and its ally also receive Israeli tech either for free or at massive discounted price like the Iron Fist and Trophy system. Not to mention the countless civilian innovations made by Israelis for US corporations like Intel and others.

Why was Copy Editor Antony Murrell's name blurred out until the very last moment of the credits?
It feels like a massive stretch to say that because Israel failed on October 7th their whole military concept has failed. Within 48 hours of the attack they had Hamas pushed back within Gaza. And it also is extremely untrue to say the iron dome was completely overwhelmed. The number of Israelis killed by rocket fire from Gaza is at best 10-15 people. The iron dome only shoots down missiles that are going to hit civilian areas. So between the rockets that missed populated areas and the 10-20% of rockets that fell short in Gaza the iron dome was able to pretty effectively handle the barrage. Not perfectly, but it’s unfair to expect missile defense to be perfect at the scale it was asked to that day. But you are spot on about complacency. When I was in the IDF in 2015 you could feel it. Unfortunately it usually takes events like Oct 7th to wake people up.
@@R_-kd1brLmao you probably never served. Opinion null and void.
Not only the US. Also from Germany came a lot from the beginning. Since 1950, first a lot money and later high tech weapons, like eg 6 high tech fuel cell subs, able to carry nuclear missiles, made in Germany.
Between Adenauer and Ben Gurion was a secrete agreement of 200 million Deutsch Mark per year paid from Germany to Israel.
In todays money its like abt 20 billion € per year.
Germany did pay reparations to Israel, but they did not get weapons until decades later, which they purchased. Most of the Reparations money (Reparations Agreement between Israel and the Federal Republic of Germany) that was paid did not go to the arms industry, it went to settling the hundreds of thousands of Holocaust survivors who lived in Israel, and to the WJC (world Jewish Congress) to pay to Holocaust survivors. It was also used to start cities, schools, hospitals, and most of all for the agriculture area to provide jobs in farming, food processing, and manufacturing. Also it was 200 million Deutsch Mark per year back when the German Economy was not good, so it was about 5 Marks to the dollar exchange rate.....so it was definitely not worth 20 billion a year "Despite the protests, the agreement was signed in September 1952, and West Germany paid Israel a sum of 3 billion marks (around 714 million USD according to 1953-1955 conversion rates[14]) over the next fourteen years; 450 million marks were paid to the World Jewish Congress. The payments were made to the State of Israel as the heir to those victims who had no surviving family. The money was invested in the country's infrastructure and played an important role in establishing the economy of the new state. Israel at the time faced a deep economic crisis and was heavily dependent on donations by foreign Jews, and the reparations, along with these donations, would help turn Israel into an economically viable country."

@@donaldseigel4101 Thats correct.
@@donaldseigel4101 I meant the purchasing equivalent or purchasing power of a Deutsch Mark or US$ was much higher in the 50th last century than today, thats why that amount. The secrete agreement that time, is today no more secrete, since opening the archives I think in the 90th.

It wasn't technology the problem, or hubris on the use of technology. It was the false premises, a political misconception, that lead to 7/10.
Netanyahu is the designer of this misconception. People inside the intelligence alerted for the upcoming tragedy, but the leadership was convinced that a "fat" Hamas would not attack, they would prefer skirmishes and money better than a war.
Units on the military were dismantled, such as Israel has now only one helicopter wing, instead of the 3 it had, and now is buying in urgent purchase some 20 or so.
Soldiers were transferred from Gazan borders to other regions because they believed maximum of 4 attack points in the region, so on and so forth...
It was this misconception that created the condition where there was no force to "answer" on all fronts without the reserve,he is 100% right.Israel kept a sadak of nothing for years in Gaza I served there and everything was autonomic,the fact that they didn't prepare for Hamas to attack doesn't explain why there weren't reserves to answer in the first hours(they all went to the North or West bank),the problem definitely was over reliance on tech instead of boots on the ground.
Netan is just a tool, there has been a singular anti-human driving force behind this for hundreds of years.
All those actions can be explained by Hubris enable by a sense of technological superiority. I am sure you yourself before Oct 7. wouldn't imagine Hamas was capable of breaching the wall and neutralizing so many tanks and soldiers in the aftermath.
See, you seem to be a little bit confused. It doesn't matter where the soldier were, how many helicopters you had and so on. This analysis says that there was false impression of security, that is, people thought that the country is so secure that Hamas just won't attack. And he is right - the fact that the soldiers were not there, or there were not enough rockets means that even the military had this impression. They thought that they are secure just because they have the technology, which is never the case.
You're saying yourself that the leadership was convinced that Hamas won't attack, but act like leadership is not Israel?

If this was the case, Hamas would’ve still held Gaza, which today is almost entirely manned by the IDF. Technology does win wars and builds empires. If it doesn’t, explain the west conquering pretty much the entire world with guns and fleets…
Imagine with all the Tech like Drones,Tanks & Jets that worth Billions of Money, it still did not intimidate the poorly equipped Insurgents.
What is Ammam?
Amman? The capital of the country of Jordan?
RAAAHHHHH JORDAN MENTIONEDDD💥💥💥 WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY REFUGEES🫤💥💥WHAT IS A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTT
Aman is Israel’s military intelligence agency.
It is an Israeli intelligence unit that advises the Prime Minister on how to conduct security against threats in the environment
You mean there is something else that melts steel, it is used often in demolition of steel frame buildings and railway construction and has also something in common with the subject in question... :)
Whatever it is you're alluding to, it would have been done with the full knowledge, cooperation, and support of the CIA and the Pentagon, so what's your point?
Stuxnet was merely a delaying move, without any hope of permanently containing the problem.
The 1973 War "6th of October Triumph" aka "Yum Kappor" was a clear defeat for Israel when Egypt who launched the attack gained control over parts of Sainai and forced Israel to give the rest over a peace treaty. So, I would not call this "another victerious war" as you have kindly stated in the video about time 4:37 - Even the picture in the graph demo of those men mounting the tank cheering up, are Egyptians as far as I could tell from the photo :)
Thank you though Caspian Report for the informative videos
The map at 5:12 shows Iran as a country of NATO supplying weapons to Israel. Who woulda thunk?? 😂
Well technically they did send them a lot of missiles...
Probably because the Revolution Iran was a US ally?
During the reign of the Shah (the monarchy), Iran was an ally of Israel and was the second country in the Middle East to recognize Israel after Turkey.

They say having high technology wins wars, heres the thing thats not always true. "Pure tech rarely wins against ingenuity"
according to one source, the observation towers on the border with gaza reported unusual and heavy military training last August and September, but they were all operated by women, and idf command considered them overreacting and hysterical, saying men would see these activities differently. the al aqsa flood was formulated 2 years ago, and was completed in a year. Israeli informants presented the plan, including maps of entry points to idf command, who brushed it off as impossible.
There was intelligence from female officers on the border that were ignored. Also, many of the troops guarding the border were moved to protect west Bank settlements per order of the government, so there is that too. It's a combination of these three reasons and possibly more
Your remark on the movement of forces to the West Bank was proven false.
I'm always worried whenever someone gets the clever idea to press the armed forces into secondary and tertiary functions. It looks real tough to make the army do riot suppression and watch over train stations, suppress riots and search for drugs but then that becomes those unit's job. People can't train and outfit for everything.
I'm not a fan of France's Operation Sentinel either, where they have small foot patrols of troops moving around on the subway and sitting on landmarks. Any soldiers you want to have sitting on the Louvre must be taken from somewhere else.
That's vox propaganda
Not really, first of all, Vox is not really an investigative journalistic endeavor so I don't trust them, but this was widely reported in Haaretz and the Wall Street Journal. The basis was formed from leaked government documents

I would definitely buy a book of Shirvan’s aphorisms!
“Indigenous Israeli Defence Industry” that’s a good joke lol
Your opening is something my ex used to say.
Nooo 😭
That was killer
Small lives matter
"Dressed for the parade?"
That sounds more like Russia or China.
Agreed.
The IDF is more like a SWAT team. Where other militaries are artillery brigrades.
20 years in Afghanistan 😂
Was it Russian and china in Afghanistan for twenty years or America ?
@@Keithmwango Russia and/or USSR was there for a decade or so and did the exact same thing as USA so basically fuck all and armed the locals :'D Can't remeber if China has plans to try it too. Maybe in Africa.
Cope CIA bot.
Western weapons are tried against 3rd world millitaries. And they are expensive as hell and required high maintenance cost.
Israel has the same issue that the US had after defeating Iraq. They can obliterate any standard army but struggling against cheap weapons being used by men that are willing to die for an ideology.
Also Israel hasn't really had any major fights since they broke the ceasefire agreement during the First Arab-Israel war that allowed them to win, otherwise they would have been destroyed.
Any State would have a strong military if they had that much support in terms of Aid like Israel has from the US.
Iran has a better military industry despite sanctions and sabotage.

Thank you for yet another unbiased documentary. CaspianReport is a gem of a TH-cam channel, and a real rarity these days.
"unbiased" seems to be a favourite word of zi°nists these days. presumably referring to the widely cultivated public conflation of objectivity with neutrality and false neutrality.
one side bad or one side worse=biased, both sides bad=unbiased
in that spirit, there indeed are very fine people on both sides. 🤡
Not really it just matches your bias
@@Bakarost So what part of the video do you disagree with? Because you’re disagreeing with plain, obvious, provable facts.
@@Bakarost nope, it disagrees with your bias. you name no arguments, you just seem to feel attacked by what is stated in the video, as it doesn't agree with your world view
@@Bakarostdo you mean it’s pro-Israel? CaspianReport is a Azerbaijani Muslim
explain to me why is it that when you show a map of israel you show them including the lands they claim is theirs like golan and west bank and gaza but when you show palestine you only show the west bank and gaza instead of all of palestine
This guy is torturously biased towards Israel. Don't expect anything better. I've unsubbed a long time ago.
Because there is no such thing as a Palestinian people, a people without cultural characteristics, a people without history, a people without anything
It's simply amazing to see how every group that aspires to become a nation is given legitimacy in this and basically cancels the entire existence of the Jews by the very fact that they are a people and a nation within Israel
You should do a video on project Samson
video Actually starts at @3:20
Wow that’s a really long way of saying completely due to US aid
😅 apparently
I remeber when I learned about stuxsnet, I just bust out laughing every time its mentioned now. You know there were engineers just like "bro I did this calc like 30 times and its still breaking. WTF!" 😂
Great work Caspian! Thank you for continuing to provide content that is informative and engaging. I learn so much from your channel 🙏
Why do you have the Golan heights as part of Israel while it's officially occupied?!
Tel Aviv gets the latest weapons free of charge, billions of dollars in cash, and if needed, the entire US military at its service for free, plus a veto at the UN security council whenever needed. So Israel is indeed a superpower
So far the US army hasn't helped Israel in this war. They brought some ships which did nothing and influenced nothing, only to move them away later on.
@tFighterPilot Operating an Aircraft Carrier Strike Group costs more than $6.5 million a day; the US committed to using two of them to defend Israel, for a total of + $13 million a day (nearly $2 billion since October 2023); add to that the cost of missiles used to intercept missiles headed toward Israel; airstrikes in Yemen; the Congress passed a $14.5 billion military aid package for Israel on top of the 300 billions Israel already received!!
That's nothing for you? A classic case of ungratefulness.
@@tFighterPilotwrong. US is literally aiding in targeting. And do you think Tower 22 is doing at the border of Syria and Jordan? The US has (illegally) troops both in a d around Israel.
@@JuliusGalackiBut why are they there? They're there because the tail wags the dog!
@tFighterPilot are you kidding? Isreals entire military budget is in US aid. All of your ammunition is made in the US too. The US is also operating a carrier strike group in the red sea and air strikes all across the region. Plus all the vetos in the UN
hey so generally love your content but please add sources cause i cant find where you got that 1/4 of the israeli military budget is american aid statistic
16% in 2023. he is out of date for 15 years.
@@user-sd3hq2dt5n did you include the bribes to Arab dictators that keeps the "peace"?
Of course you didn't you zionazi
They get a lot of perks in addition to direct aid. So it is difficult to calculate.
This is propaganda that anti-Israelis like to spread, it is actually less than 5%
Israel got all the support and money and they fought like savages dropping bombs at any target and they still got beaten up by some locals with hand made weapon here is your source
Shirvan, you are from Azerbaijan, you dont get spam calls here :)
They fail and will fail again because is God's will and because the animosity towards their fellow humans being whom the see as trash , treat them as trash and total disrespect.
Correction: In every one of the Arab wars, Israels capabilities and number of *soldiers* and the quality of hardware was much, much better than the Arab countries. It was not an underdog story. It was lopsided in favor of Israel.
When a video about the genocide committed by Azerbaijan?
Never😂
How about proving it was a genocide first in the international courts?
Well this dude himself is from Azerbaijan, so ....
This is not an alternative history channel.
How many childrn did azerbaijan murder?
its refreshing not hearing someone calling them khamas
Soy un campeón.
Gracias
when you think about it its kinda crazy to get mad at a hostile Hamas and Hezbollah when Israeli Settlers actively bully palestinians out of their homes and abuse them, and they are terrorist groups don't get me wrong but its like punching someone and then call them savages for fighting back
