- Our M1s had probably like a 1500m shooting distance advantage over the T-72s.
- The threat of a amphibious landing and 1st CD feints fixed the Iraqi divisions.
- Any hope for an Iraqi victory was lost when we did the left hook and decimated the Republican Guard.
- Arab armies tend to take roads, highways, or wadis to navigate, hence the Highway of Death was congested with Iraqi forces.
