Summary:Following the crossing of the Suez Canal by Egyptian troops on October 6 the Sinai Desert became the main point of conflict. For a week Egypt claimed the advantage, but gradually Israeli tank power regained a large slice of territory. Losses on both sides were heavy in terms of both men and military hardware. The battles in Sinai may rank as the fiercest tank engagements in history. NOTE: Date is approximate. This clip may contain footage from multiple events; exact date or dates may be unknown.
