A veteran of the Gulf war,I remember seeing the b52s overhead heading to their targets. The highway of death,is something that will never ever leave me. Vision,or smell.
B-52s were also used during the "Highway of Death" bombardment. Imagine that amount of firepower being dropped along a target as easy to align a bombing run with as a straight road.
Imagine if Russians do the same to Ukraine. You will be in Uproar, barking. But it is completely ok for you to see Muslims being killed at hands of your terrorist military. Shame on your double standards. I wonder if Christian like you still think that jesus will pray to GOD for your sins.
Iraq shot down a B52, but the matter was kept secret with a well-thought-out Iraqi plan. Missiles were fired at a plane that did not reach it. When the pilot decided to land a little, missiles were planted, explosive filling removed, and gunpowder was placed in order for the missile to reach the highest height, and it fell on the outskirts of Baghdad, but the victor did not and will not reveal his losses.

in a tactical sense yes. We have better bombers but the B-52 is very valuable for the conflicts we are in right now. All of our modern bombers were made to fight the soviet union. The B-52 is a lot more cost effective and capable for CAS than other bombers.
B-52 "Big Daddy" wasn't even gonna make a show appearance until ole Normy asked "where are my B-52s"? The Air Force staff went "huh"? A week later we were setting up shop in Jeddah. A B-52 on the loose over a battlefield is like a mad bull in a china shop. If it roams free then if you are the enemy you may as well break out a treaty and try and save what you can. Some of those targets in Iraq were huge and it would have taken fighters months if not years to destroy with LGBs. Big Daddy can do it with about one 9 ship raid. Problem with the B-52 is that the Air Force brass is embarrassed by it. It is a old dinosaur and brass was humiliated that the B-1 was grounded during Storm. The Air Force loves pretty pointed jets to show off to the public. The B-52 is anything but that. Same could be said for the A-10. Folks thought the B-52 was washed up along with its rag tag crews. Somebody forgot to tell those crews all of this BS and when time came to go to war they stepped up along with that embarrassment of an airplane.
Fascinating. Where can I find out more about this?? It is moronic how the USAF is replacing the A10, and that they'd be embarrassed by the B52. If it's effective and deadly, why replace it?
Totenkopf147 In fact, there recently was an active investigation into an Air Force General who purportedly "ordered A-10 pilots to keep their mouths shut over effectiveness of the airplane." Mainly "that they refrain from discussing the A-10's ability with elected officials." He told them "that they could be court martialed for treason if they continued to do this." The pilots reported this threat and the crap hit the fan. Apparently this General is really drinking the kool aid from the leadership pitcher. As far as the B-52 goes, you won't find much out there about what it did during Storm. One pilot at Jeddah did publish a book but about the only place I have seen the book being sold at was the Air Force Museum. The Air Force during Storm, was embarrassed that it's state of the art bomber, the B-1 was in fact, grounded during the war. This latest grounding being the culmination of years of problems with this airplane. When questioned about the absence of the B-1 the Air Force lied to the public and told them "that the B-1 was not participating in Storm as it was doing its primary mission of safeguarding the U.S in the nuclear deterrence role." It wasn't even filling that role with it being grounded. That role was filled by guess who? "The faster brother of the B-52G, the B-52H. Also, during this time the Air Force brass was going dippy over all the stealth technology. It badly wanted the B-2. Getting the B-2 developed and purchased, costs mega bucks. The brass was lobbying for those bucks and definitely didn't want the public seeing images of 30 year old B-52s blowing hell out of everything they went after in Iraq. The Air Force decided right then to do whatever it could to suppress any combat highlights of the B-52. In fact, they even went so far as to try and dissuade Air Shows from inviting the B-52 and instead, invite the more beautiful and glamourous B-1. A slap in the face to the B-52 crews who had willingly put their asses on the line in a supposed "obsolete death trap". Big bucks as always, rule the day.
@@gregj831amazing reading this in 2023 as the air force is utilizing the b52 the most for deterrence in the pacific and completely and openly depend on it. While the b1 and b2 are about to be replaced by the b21 guess whose still gonna be there? Yup buffdaddy till the mid 21st century at minimum

B-52s are going to still be in use for a while, but I don't think we're using them right now. We're not bombing the Middle East anymore, even though the violence is getting worse. We'll probably need them more soon, though.
This over two hour 9/11 account.. is not like all of the other footage from that day.. 'Tuesday Morning in September': It is what 9/11 was to many, outside the first ring at Ground Zero.

My God! What a crushing defeat, if you look back now it's kind of funny almost to think that this war was so easy and fighting the terrorists is like Nam, all we can do is contain them
My question to the American military veterans. I know that the United States is a superpower and has the honor of being a rival in war, and it did not strike the broken, withdrawing army after the ceasefire. My question is whether the ones who bombed the withdrawing Iraqi army were the Arab pilots who participated with the coalition forces in 1991 in a retaliatory manner. Because there is no depiction of firing missiles at Iraqi military units on their way to death
problem is that you don’t know the story behind this war, its not that simple, saddam didnt just invade with no reason or provocation. after the 8 year iran-iraq war suddenly saudi arabia + kuwait asked iraq to pay back all the money they gave him to protect the gulf countries from iranian revolution spread. this made iraq bankrupt + kuwait lowered its oil price, he had no other choice then to invade and the USA allowed him to, they wanted him to invade so they had a reason..
@hwoods01 American culture tolerates mass torture in various military sites in the world (ie. Guantanamo). It also tolerates mass murder through vicious illegal invasions. So what does that say about the US?
This video is totally inaccurate. Never during the Gulf War did B-52s go that low to go on a bombing run; It's much too big and slow. Secondly, to the person who was going on about B-52's and the Vietnamese, Operation Linebacker II brought the North Vietnamese to the bargaining table, and ultimately saved the lives of countless US POW's during the vietnam war. In fact, they were so effective, the Vietnamese used up all available SAMS while trying to ward the B-52s off.
I take it you're from or around the land of Egypt? Years ago many Blacks were settled there, before the great civilizations (as we know them to be, great) were built by your people, many Blacks called Egypt and the surroundings their home... that is till migrants came. I'm sure you know who they were.
@Legendary588 The kids might just be using their imagination when they say those things. Sure, they could be serious thinking that a 737 is an AC-130- but I'd doubt it.
I disagree with people who call this bomber amazing. I take the side of the tens of thousands of innocent people who probably saw it amongst the last moments of their lives.
@Bllasae well I kinda thought you would have common sense to notice but yeah, its a good point. I can see it from your point of view now. Like who knows I could've been talkin about Nato or somthing but yeah.
@AzyrenIshida Ignorant comment. I dont ever remember bombing Saudi Arabia, Kuwait (aside from bombing the Iraqis in Kuwait), Iran, or the UAE. I probably left out a few oil rich middle eastern nations but you get the picture.
And back to the stone age Iraq went. What a tragedy, the majority of people today think Iraq was always a crap hole, little do they know the Iraqi people once lived like kings and queens before the sanctions and bombs.
How silly. EVERY country on Earth was once the "homeland of indigenous people". Do you think you are the first one to set foot in whatever country you're from? Every inhabited place on Earth has for tens of thousands of years had waves upon waves of migration that displaced or assimilated whomever and whatever was there before.
