#1 In the Spring of '74 an Army briefing team visited the various Army school houses (armor, infantry, etc) with findings they brought back from their liaison mission to Israel following the '73 war. One portion of the briefing covered the Golan Heights fight. IIRC when the Syrians initially crossed the line of departure, they failed to drop the external fuel cells on their Soviet tanks. The Israelis see the opportunity, used VT fused artillery to first rip the fuel cells and then switched to WP (white phosphorous) to set the tanks alight, basically reducing that initial wave.
