What if, on October 8, 1973, the Egyptian army had managed to defeat Ariel Sharon's 143rd Infantry Division and continued to advance into the Sinai and further, into Israel? Could the Arabs have defeated the Israelis? What would have been the repercussions?
Alternatively, what if the Egyptians had decided on a second air strike to wipe out the Israeli Air Force (OTL, they decided against it due to the success of the first one, a fact which left their armored divisions vulnerable later on)? Could they have defeated the IDF on October 14, when they launched a major armored thrust into Israeli defenses?
