Both
Italian commanders were retards who kept sending waves after waves of men at a fortified position, and the French defenders were resilient as fuck, fighting at nine against a whole army for more than a week (they had no food left on the last three days), even days after the armistice between France and Italy had been signed

France surrendered to Germany and therfore an armistice was signed with Italy on June 25
The guys in the casemate had their radio destroyed (by a grenade that had been thrown in) so they didnt know about that until three days later
Then they indeed gave themselves in (but I don't doubt that, a so much braver guy like you would surely have kept fighting forever despite the fact the war was lost and the supplies had ran out)

Starfighters weren't built for dogfights, they were built to intercept bombers and carry an atomic bomb as fast as possible.

>>3223894
The starfighter could dogfight pretty well if you dropped its wing tanks and made sure to stay close to mach 1 or above. Unfortunately, it was used mostly before the USAF unfucked itself and got a bad rep as a result. It did pretty well in later red flag exercises, especially once it got a beefier engine.

>>3225317
The participation in military affairs dropped a lot ever since the Turkics rose to prominence in the Middle East. There was a moment of Abbasid military revival that saw the defeat of Turkics. After a few centuries, the major Arab faction lost prominence and died facing the Mongols.

Ever since the 13th century, military affairs in the middle East were lead by Mongols or Turkics or a combination of the two. Of course there is the Ottoman empire which ruled over much of the Middle East. There were events of Arabs fighting but this lead to defeat against the Ottoman ruled Egypt who destroyed the first Wahabi state. in the 18th to beginning of 19th century.

There were moments a much earlier past of Arab tribes making great strides like Banu Hilal (to which there is an epic still recited by bedouins about them). But, in my opinion, the reason why Arab tribes do not retain a long continuous history of military accomplishment outside of Arabia in any specific parts is because of two things:

1) Arabs don't have a lot of people. They come from a desert for the most part. Even the fertile areas in Southern Arabia and SouthEastern Arabia are not so big and far compared to other fertile areas in the region. This means whatever great accomplishment that can be done, over time there will not be a replenishment. Thus, leading to a much quicker disintegration of military prowess of Arabs in specific parts outside of Arabia.

2) Lack of constant unity. Albeit partly why some Arab tribes were strong was because of constant competition. Too much inter tribal conflict can also lead to distintergration. If Arabs have to do one thing outside of Arabia is remain undividedly united since they are always outnumbered. But this didn't happen. Ummayad dynasty fought the Abbasid, Fatimid were rivals of other Arabs, etc... Of course the religious identity was much bigger which may explain the lack of urgency when it comes to some sort of ethnic unity.

>>3226118
That number of fighters seem bullshit. It would probably be from 10k to 50k possibly extending to a few 10s more (but even that is stretching too much. There's no good evidence to suggest to 187 000 men on the Ummayad side. Albeit the Berber garrisons would result in more troops for Ummayads, the empire did not have that much Berber tribes or people under control (they ruled the northern part of North Africa, not going to inner places of Morocco for example) and sending this much troop into the outmost fringes of a frontline of a big empire would be unlikely.

Not to mention the fact that there is no possible way 300 men killed over 120 000 people. This is actually more retarded that the myths regarding Thermopylae considering at least Spartans were much more of an elite force than the men of the Kingdom of Asturias.

The heavy casualties weren't inflicted by actual fighting between troops. Goguryeo pretended to surrender to convince the Sui army to turn back. Then, as the Sui were marching back, Goguryeo cavalry went ahead and burst dams at the Salsu river, surprising and flooding the Sui army camps and drowning most of the army.

Both the Sui army size and casualty estimation seem a bit high as well. I'd have to check, but I suspect it's a count of divisions and units rather than actual individual men, in which case there were probably incomplete divisions and a bunch of deserters post-battle.
