The strategic_deception plan for the October War...full details
■ Did you know that Egypt has succeeded in deceiving the entire world, including the Soviets, and completely blinded them from watching and expecting a comprehensive war to reclaim the land with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and thousands of armored vehicles?... And that despite the genius of hundreds of strategic deception plans in all fields and at all levels, which do not... Entire volumes could be enumerated... This ingenious Egyptian plan remains the largest deception plan undertaken by the history-defying army to enter into a war that was impossible to carry out in the first place... And the greatest deception plan was to rewrite the military and strategic sciences again without the knowledge of the entire world... .. When the war broke out, the Israelis faced battles and tactics that they had not studied or expected to exist in the first place or that it was possible for them to occur?
■ Did you know that all military and strategic sciences in all Eastern or Western military scientific schools have agreed on the impossibility of simply starting a war on the Egyptian side using old defensive weapons in light of the overwhelming superiority in quantity and quality in favor of the Israelis?... This led to the fulfillment of Sadat’s word. The genius who summarized all of this in a sentence of four words.... “They saw... but were not aware.”...
• Military and strategic science around the world have then been rewritten again based on what the Egyptians did.
✪ For example:
◆ How were we able to import crossing equipment from portable bridges and then transport it to the front without the enemy’s knowledge..???
● The answer was to import twice the required quantity and leave it in the port of Alexandria, lying negligently for two full days near the vehicles of a contracting and foundation company transporting civil supplies. After two days, army vehicles transported only the excess quantity to the Helwan suburb and covered it with camouflage nets, while the contracting company’s vehicles transported the quantity. necessary to cross to their positions on the front.
◆ Weapons that are missing from artillery ammunition, RPG ammunition, Scud missiles, and launcher missiles... How do we import them without the knowledge of Israel and the West, who control and are aware of every ant in the global arms markets?
● The answer came: As for the artillery ammunition, it was taken from the Algerian army after a maneuver was launched between Egypt and Algeria on Egyptian territory. Algeria purchased the ammunition on its behalf, and after the maneuver, the Algerian forces left, leaving those ammunition in Egypt. This was done, of course, with special intelligence cooperation with Egypt.
● As for the Scud missiles, they were transported from Russia with special cooperation with the KGB, and without the Russian ship crews themselves knowing what was in their stores other than some civilian administrative tasks.
◆ As for aircraft bombs?
● The phosphorus bomb was manufactured locally in the Armed Forces factories, with a special blackout on the project by the Egyptian Military Intelligence and Military Security Service.
◆ As for the giant German pumps that were used to open the gaps in the berm
● It was purchased through Libya with a special agreement with Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, and after it arrived in Libyan territory, his cousin, Ahmed Gaddaf Al-Dam, transported it to Egypt in vegetable transport trucks belonging to his company (this company was created specifically for this purpose), which used to go to Libya with Egyptian vegetables and fruits and returns loaded with pumps and hoses necessary for crossing.
◆ Plan to evacuate government hospitals to receive the wounded and war-injured.
● When the date of the October War in 1973 approached, among the preparations required for the war was the necessity of finding and providing many places in the hospitals of the Ministry of Health and university hospitals in Cairo and the cities close to them to receive the war wounded. In those days, the hospitals of the armed forces were not in this number and in this state of readiness that we know. Now... but...
Simply taking that step was enough to attract the attention of the enemy and his eyes scattered among us. If the enemy knew that we were preparing to fight, we would have lost the most important part of war, which is... the element of surprise.
•• So what was the solution....??!!!
● Here the men relied on an innovative method, which is to let your enemy see everything but without understanding anything..
● One of the conscripted doctors (who held the rank of reserve officer in the Medical Services Department) was assigned, after careful investigation, to be returned to his primary work at Al-Demirdash Hospital (after it was reported that he had been exempted from service due to his unfitness), and two weeks after his return to work, this doctor announced that he had discovered The presence of gas gangrene bacteria in an operating room at Demerdash Hospital. A sample was sent - after fabricating it, of course - to the Ministry’s laboratories, which confirmed the result of the sample. For those who do not know, the presence of such a deadly and highly contagious microbe in any hospital immediately requires closing the hospital for a period It took between two weeks and a month to completely sterilize it... Therefore, a decision was made to close the hospital immediately to sterilize it, and all patients were removed from it... And the Egyptian newspapers that love scandals came out with this information, with questions about whether there was contamination in other hospitals?... So it was examined. All hospitals, and discoveries continued in many hospitals, with the results coming that there were 12 other contaminated hospitals... and the world rose and did not stop... and the Egyptian press poured out its anger on the Minister of Health and on the leaders of the state’s medical system... and several interrogations were presented against them in the People’s Assembly, and students demanded... Many people called for the minister to be dismissed.. even though the matter was nothing more than a mere hoax that none of the leaders of the Ministry of Health (except for the minister) knew anything about..
● Of course, the uproar reached Israel, and newspapers there began to ridicule the deteriorating medical level in Egypt and the primitive and dilapidated medical system.... The enemy swallowed the bait well..
• Under the nose and eyes of Israel and the entire world, and in a noisy and even scandalous atmosphere, most of Cairo’s hospitals were evacuated of their sick residents under the pretext of sterilization.. while the truth of the matter was that the state was preparing to receive the war wounded when the zero hour arrived.. It is worth noting that the fabricated medical reports were All of them were made by the Egyptian General Intelligence Service.
◆ Lighting equipment and electric flashlights.. With the battles and widespread obligatory darkness, flashlights had to be present with every soldier and officer, and the question was: How do we import all this huge number of flashlights without drawing the enemy’s attention to them..??? If we import it officially and publicly, the enemy will know our intention and discover our goal
● The solution: one of the smugglers met a young Bedouin man who was well-versed in the desert roads, and they agreed with the Bedouin to smuggle a quantity of car spare parts. The operation succeeded, which prompted him to make another deal in which they agreed to smuggle a huge shipment of flashlights under the pretext that the Egyptian market needed them due to the frequent There was a power outage, and despite their extreme caution, the police uncovered the operation and confiscated the shipment, but the smuggler managed to escape under mysterious circumstances, while the Bedouin was arrested. In an effort to camouflage it, the government released the shipment of lamps in stores and consumer complexes, but what he did not know was At the time, it was known that this smuggler was none other than one of the General Intelligence men in one of the most important operations of this great apparatus, and the story of this officer is well known.
◆ Food supplies... How can we import additional quantities of basic food supplies without attracting the attention of the enemy?
● The trick was to spread a rumor that the winter rains had flooded the wheat silos, causing our wheat stock to deteriorate and become infected with fungi. This was widely announced in the newspapers, and it was also announced that the government would destroy all infected wheat stocks. It was natural for Egypt to resort to importing wheat. Additional shipments of wheat to replace the infected wheat that was (ostensibly) destroyed...
● As for the rest of the basic types of food supplies (sugar - oil - legumes - soap, etc.), successive news was leaked in the newspapers about major fires in the warehouses of the food complexes, and fake fires were created, photographed, and published in the newspapers, so that was sufficient justification for importing quantities of supplies. Other alternatives without raising any suspicions.
◆ How was the Bab al-Mandab Strait closed and controlled by Egyptian naval vessels heading and stationing there without arousing the enemy’s suspicion?
● A small piece of news was published in September 1973, about three Egyptian naval vessels heading to one of the Pakistani ports to carry out repairs and regular maintenance work. Indeed, the three vessels moved to the port of Aden and there they spent a week, then they were ordered to go to one of the Somali ports for a visit. An official mission took another week to visit some Somali ports, then the three pieces returned again to Aden, and there the code signal came to them on the evening of October 5, 1973, to head to specific locations at the “Bab al-Mandab Strait” in complete secrecy at points that would allow them to follow the movement of all ships. Passing through the Red Sea by radar and inspecting them, and preventing Israeli ships from crossing the Bab al-Mandab Strait throughout the siege.
◆ Tanks.. How can we transfer tanks to the front lines from the front without the enemy knowing or arousing his suspicions..???
● The answer: The main workshops for repairing vehicles were moved to the front lines of the front, and convoys of tanks lined up in long queues openly under the pretext of having suffered malfunctions, as if they were going to the workshop for repair, with crossing times chosen other than when the satellite passed over the areas through which the tanks passed.. as well. Successive maneuvers and the plan for wooden tanks that surprised the Jews with the real tanks..
◆ Concerning the satellites, all transit equipment, ammunition, and tactical missions were transferred under the sight of dozens of satellites, with an extremely complex and ingenious deception plan.... where success was achieved in the most complex intelligence missions ever to bring up the paths of all satellites, whether Soviet. Or American or Western, from their home, then calculating their speed, paths, and timing of their passage over Egyptian territory to calculate the timing and location of the blind spots with great accuracy, which was applied to the maps of the entire front, so the missions were transported according to very precise paths, roads, and timings, measured by the minute and the second.... The accuracy of the coordinates on the ground was such that they were calculated in meters and centimeters for weeks along the length and width of the front.
● The Egyptian army succeeded in implementing its plan. The cars were transporting missions on routes and timings when satellites did not pass... and returned with structural loads at the same time as the satellites passed... so that the scene would be depicted showing the Egyptian army withdrawing its missions from the front and not the other way around - even though it was the opposite. It is correct - and all those complex calculations of drawing maps, placing coordinates with their times on maps, and matching them on the ground were done in the absence of electronic computers or a “GPS” system, but rather with a pencil, a T-ruler, and a primitive surveyor telescope on the ground.
✪ Thus, everything was done in the open and under the enemy’s eyes and ears, so that the eternal strategy was achieved..
“Let your enemy see and hear everything, but understand nothing.”

In the October 1973 Ramadan war.. New methods were defined for the first time in warfare:
- The way an individual soldier confronts a tank with anti-armor was the first time used in a war.
- Likewise, the theory of missile walls to repel air forces was applied for the first time in the October War.
- Also, hitting large frigates by anti-ship missiles from small missile boats was the first time this was done and led to the sinking the destroyer Eilat by the Egyptian boats.
- In fact, the Egyptians applied most modern warfare methods for the first time during this war
