  • The Gulf War began when Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq launched his troops into Kuwait in August 1990. Spearheaded by 100,000 of his Republican Guard, helicopter gunships, armoured personal carriers, mobile artillery and tanks, the Kuwait army didn’t stand a chance. This triggered the most impressive logistic military operation since WWII, with the US and British Armies immediately sending soldiers out to Saudi Arabia, along with an impressive list of weapons...

    Not to be specific. One ship did catch a missle. Damn near sank it. The crew sealed themselves in flooding compartments , sacrificing themselves to keep the extremely large ship afloat.

      @Skitarii Soldier I prefer to think of them as errors, not lies. Most of the time. Or as often as it is prudent.
      Lies and propaganda are not errors, they're as it says they are, propaganda, who in their right mind would ever try to claim outright deliberate propaganda, as errors? Is there something wrong with you, maybe? . And therein lies your very own level of intelligence, you people live for propaganda, as it's all you actually have, we always read all of you, always trying to big up US (propaganda weapons) you've never seen do anything, and then you all attempt to run down others countries military technologies that you all know absolutely nothing about? What is it all about?
      You Americans only ever "talk like" you have a military history like the British, or something as hilariously stupid. I mean, that's just so wrong, It's actually incredible reading you people, you surely must go down in your very own "special place" in history, as simply, by far, the least educated and propaganda swallowing society ever seen before.
      The United States has one of the very worst, and easily the most cowardly military record of any country on earth. Yet, reading them all, you could be forgiven for thinking they're awesome at fighting wars! LOL. But that would only be 100% wrong.
      The United States was founded in 1776, and she's been at war for 227 of her 247 calendar years of existence. In other words, there are only 20 calendar years, in which the U.S. did not wage any wars. The Wars waged were never against a militarily capable country, but only countries considered the Third World. And any resistance from those countries, nearly always saw the USA lose!
      Pick any year since 1776, and there's a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that calendar year, and a 73% chance they lost it. No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered “war presidents.”
      The U.S. has never gone a decade without war. The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1937-42) was during the isolationist period (cowardly period) of the Great Depression. Since the 2nd World War, the USA has started 206 armed conflicts, resulting with around 40-50 million (mostly civilian casualties). And only ever based on false premises/lies. (And failed in most). This is more than 2 conflicts, started based on nothing more than lies and propaganda, per year. Ain't you just awesome?! LMFAO!

      I believe the new AbramsX has gone back to a diesel/electric hybrid power plant. Unsurprisingly they claim will have 50% fuel economy savings. Plus the tank will be able to be moved (limited range) silently under battery power. Certainly one to look out for in the future.

      The Challenger 1 had a rolled homogeneous armor which was made of single steel composition hot-rolled to improve its material characteristics - as opposed to layered or cemented armor. Our Abrams later adopted it. With that type of armor, it didn't really worry too much about the enemy knowing that it was coming.

    One correction, the iraqis did not set fire to the oil wells in any act of "terrorism". It was to create a pollution/biological hazard for the forces chasing behind them and more importantly to provide cover against air attacks and thermal imaging.

      True, there was a tactical purpose behind that ecological calamity they caused. But I do believe there was an element of spite, as well. Saddam went into Kuwait in the first place to take their oil wealth. Destroying it on his way out was done partly out of malice. Just my opinion, of course. I don't know that it could ever be decisively proven.

    ? they said the f18 was liked at the time over the f16 for being able to use the latest missiles, thats not correct. the f16d was the first and only fighter to fire the aim 120 i think or at least the first to use it in the war

    8:46: "Israel's president Shameer says he'll attack Iraq if the US doesn't" - *False. never happened.* What *did* happen? - *AFTER* the war has started and Iraq started firing Scuds at Israeli cities, Shameer warned that eventually he will have no choice but strike back in attempt to take out the launchers. Eventually Israel was assured that the the coalition was doing its best to take out the launchers and also received Patriot missiles along with improved warning via US satellites.

      Israel without their nuclear bombs could never face the 1990 Iraq army 1v1. Iraq was much stronger back then regardless of the outcome of the gulf war.

    • @hipfirehippie3474
      @hipfirehippie3474 Год назад +2

      ​@@Adam-gf3jg You're hallucinating. Israel has won 3 major wars prior by that time, taking on 3-8 arab armies every time, including Iraqi expeditionary forces.
      Moreover, by 1990 Israel was stronger than ever, while Iraq hasn't even started to recover from its disastrous decade long military campaign against Iran.
      Any Iraqi force making its way to Israel in 1990 would be decimated hundreds of miles from the border, somewhere in Jordan.

    • @Adam-gf3jg
      @Adam-gf3jg Год назад +1

      ​@@hipfirehippie3474 The reason why Israel won these wars was not only by them having the better technology thanks to its western allies but these wars were just few days long and in reality Israel had moblized the same and sometimes even more manpower and armament than all of the arab countries combined. I don't believe Israel can survive in long raging wars like how Iraq did with Iran 1980-1988 and the US 1991-2003.
      Anyway at that time Iraq had 1000s of scud missels and good air defense. In a unrealistic scenario Saddam didn't need to send an army to Israel or anything else he could just keep launching his scuds and in few years time Israel would've collapsed. Of course this could happen only if Israel don't seek help from her powerful allies or nuclear weapons.

    • @hipfirehippie3474
      @hipfirehippie3474 Год назад

      ​@@Adam-gf3jg Your first assertion about "better western technology" is extremely misinformed. The first time this superiority would be come into effect is in the Lebanon campaign of 1982, with the edition of the F-15 and F-16 fighter jets.. This was long after the major wars I mentioned in my previous comment.
      Meanwhile, humongous nations like Egypt and Syria enjoyed the support of the mighty USSR, which not only provided them with superior weapons (Saggers, SA-2/3/6/7, Frog-7, BTR's, migs 15-21), but sent thousands of advisors, soldiers, and fighter pilots.
      Your statement that "these wars were just few days long" is also wrong. Israel's independence war in 1948 vs the 8 invading arab armies raged on for a year and half.
      Egypt's war of attrition against Israel lasted for 3 years, 67-70.
      So we established that your "belief" that Israel can't survive long lasting wars isn't rooted in reality. But even if that was the case, it would still be a moot point. If Israel manages to defeat its enemies within a few weeks, then it effectively avoided a long, drawn-out war by, well, winning it.
      Finally, your last paragraph.. oh boy. Your notion of Israel "collapsing" (lol), due to sporadic firing of scuds "for a few years" is so absurd it actually made me chuckle.
