I vote for more Operations Room videos 😇
How you doing today?
what the hell, love your video, man
Yeeeesss
Hell yeah they’re top tier quality
Love you guys' work.
Finally, after 6 months of telling him to watch this channel. It just takes him going bald to realise that fish documentaries are cherished on TH-cam
i know i was dying for him to react to this
@@ailediablo79 bruh
@@willienillie3589 it is historical real blod fact.
I know this is 2021 & our reality is 🙃 n all, but lemme be the first to state the obvious: we’ll love AR bald the same way we loved him... well, before. Or during. Or after. Fights n flaws alike. ❤️

I work in the USAF, and the sheer overwhelming amount of airpower generated in desert storm is amazing. People don't realize just how much work goes into generating aircraft to fly and fight missions.
The amount of coordination it took. along with the staggering amount of aircraft is just mind boggling.
The planning, and coordination along with the execution is what impressed me. Also my dad was there, he was an air force mechanic and I believe he worked on the larger planes.

Hi there Artur! Can you please react to ArmsChair history again but this time Operation Bagration which is considered Nazi Germany’s worst defeat in WW2. Please!
@@nitrofiregamingtv1155 you replied to a comment
I've been balding for nearly 20 years, i just shave my head to deal with it.
Genetics: Im going to make you bald.
You: fuck it, Ill do it myself.

Just to note Kuwait is a colonial manufacturer. There is no name called Kuwait in history. It is one of 4 completely colonial manufacturer countries in the Arab world and one of many countries that their borders are colonialy maded randomly or for horrible reasons. The 4 colonial manufacturer countries in the Arab world are: Kuwait, Jordan (does it sound even Arabic , haven't you thought about it) , Lebanon and Sudan (it is part of Egypt). Those 4 countries their names never existed in history. Plastain,Syria and Iraq have origin in their names. Iraq or Mesopotamia includes Kuwait throw out history. Iraq name comes from city of Urak of the legendary first hero King Gilgamesh the king of heroes. Even in the 7 th century the word Iraq was used to refer for Mesopotamia. You will never find the word Kuwait, not even for a city. Kuwait should be part of Basra state at the bottom south. The reason Kuwait is made to limit the full power of Iraq by limiting the oile and cost line size for Harbors. It is just a dagger in Iraqs back. The only reason Iraq is in a bad state unlike other countries in the region simply because Iraq doesn't want to be a bich dog to USA government. It is in my opinion regardless of Sudam Hussein , even if it had a real good smart guy instead they would do some shit. Sudam Hussein came to power with the hlep of USA to fight Iran so both get weaker than what they could have been. It is all in plan for USA. Kuwait did what it did to provoke Saddam Hussein. It was a trap. It is all USA government doing. Sub to my channel Gate of Babylon the gate to everything th-cam.com/channels/EfLnHQMC7pusRgqDTlUJrQ.html
@@ailediablo79 how do you think countries come into existence? Kuwait came into existence as all other countries did. Its easy to claim all the land when there is nobody else to claim it. If I started a country before all other countries and said I controlled every bit of land in the world would all other countries after that then rightfully belong to me?
@@snugglecity3500 things in the middle east are not like this. The middle east identity of a country is older than that. It is not like how you think. Iraq and Syria and Plastain and Egypt are the same thing since thousands of years. However, you mised the part where it is not even a country it is made up for such reason to make problems. Ask UK government why they did that and they will tale you to reduce Iraq power.
There was a joke about Iraqi pilots after the war started. It was; “ what four words do Iraqi pilots fear the most?” “ clear for take off”.
Don’t worry about going bald. My best friend went bald early and he instantly became a chick magnet. I was like WTF.
Ahh yes, he pulled a good ol' social "No U"
woman like round/smooth and shiny objects; its just a fact.
It's just like I've always said: The more hair I lose, the more head I get.
I'm started to go bald to....I just went ahead and put a 2 guard on the clippers...😂
ah yes, the seks, i have it everytime with many woman
If you love this video, the second video in this Desert Storm series is called "The Ground War, Day 1 - Crush the Saddam Line". It's all about tanks and those on the ground.
Having been there, US Marine Artillery, I am interested in this as well.
My dads unit the 2nd acr wrecked the Iraqi tanks so our units could push in though he wasn’t there even though he got a award for the war
@@tylerhall4322 Good, I am glad he did. As far as I am concerned just being in the military during times of war qualify for "War Duty."
@@randalthor6670 did you work with the 2nd when you were there?
Just watched a documentary about called Age of Tanks on Netflix that goes into it.
Don't forget one of the main rules of warfare: If it's a fair fight, you fucked up.
sad but true. Why we have wars at all? cant we just all invest our spendings into the future ? imagine if we all combine our strenght at technology... FUCK this world...
@@semiramisubw4864 "This world" you condemn is also responsible for you being here. So maybe be thankful it resulted in you living. That being said, why do we have war? Because most resources are finite commodities, and there will always be those people who want someone else's stuff, want power, or want to stroke their own ego. The world isn't the problem. It's people who find themselves in the position to inflict their selfish desires on others and don't care who they hurt along the way.
War sucks, yes. We all wish it didn't happen. It will never disappear, although hopefully we can all keep striving to reduce how often it happens and how many people it affects.. Accept that now, or you will be consistently whining about it until you're in the grave.
Also, "this world" as you put it is infinitely better now than even 50 years ago, let alone than any other point in history, but no one wants to hear that. Is the world perfect? Of course not. But quality of life around the world is generally better, although of course there are under-developed areas that lag sorely behind. Be thankful you live in the present instead of the past.
@@aethyr6776 I know this is a slightly old comment I'm replying to, but your last argument makes no sense to me. Why can't you wish the world was better just because it was worse before? Should black people "just be thankful they dont live in a time they would have been slaves", rather than condemn racism. Why should you ever stop because you've come a long way since you began?
@@2Links Because my last point was a reaction to his “Fuck this World” statement. I even said in my comment that obviously there are problems in this world. Yet “fuck this world” is a blanket condemnation. I was simply pointing out we have it so much better now than ever before, so maybe also be thankful for that. Nothing wrong with hoping for even better, but let’s also keep it in perspective. I wish war didn’t exist, but sadly reality isn’t as nice as that
*edit* silly typos
My dad was an Iraqi conscript during this war he was lucky and worked in the Iraqi army with something to do with finance managing,his brothers/my uncles weren’t so lucky.
My father was a Kuwaiti sniper.
@@EnemyAtom65 if he was active during the war.is it okey if I ask what happened to him once Kuwait fell and what did he do ?
@@AKA-dr9cp I wrote a comment in the main comment page, so you should be able to find it. I honestly don't want to write the whole thing again.
Know what? To save you time, I'll just copy and paste it over.
My father was a Kuwaiti sniper in this. He worked with the Coalition forces, and he even had something to do with the Highway of Death incident. He trained with American and British troops, as well. The sky of Kuwait ran black from the burning oil in the air. In Kuwait, you can find old Soviet tanks that were left over, as well. There is also a landmark of a home that was wrecked and shot up, as well.
The United Stares Marine Corps has a page about him on their website, but I won't list the name, for sake of anonymity.
(The Highway of Death Incident was a warcrime by the Coalition Forces, wherein they fire upon the retreating troops, leaving Kuwait.)
He left school after the invasion, and got one of his family friends who was a recruiter to help him get into the military.
Apperantly, one of his officers were kind of a jerk, as well.
Apperantly some of the people he was working with also half-assed and set up a campfire in the night, even though that is a HUGE way to alert enemies of where you are, because of the bright flame and the smoke.
I'm ok with the opening length and the patrons wherever they are; it's nice that you take time to thank them, and we enjoy your witticisms regarding the names.
Oh, and that power plant wasn't nuclear, and has since been put back into operation.
My Dad was a Marine on the frontline at the beginning of Desert Storm when ground operations first started ON MY THIRD BIRTHDAY AND HIS UNIT WAS PART OF THE FIRST IS GO IN. he was thinking "I'm about to die on my son's birthday" but he and his return unit returned without so much as a paper cut inspite the mission they got sent on, though he doesn't like talking about some parts because he saw so stuff no one should have to, like what a few A10 "warthog" can do to a bunch heavy mortar cannons and a few squads of enemie troops.
He did tell me about the large live mine field they went through without even noticing it. They thought they heard an odd click or two but then continued on carefully. They later called a sweep and disposal team go through, find out they were all live and not duds, and some of them jammed when they should have gone off without problems, and one of my dad's buddies saying "someone back home's praying for us or something". Sidenote: my mom's a faithful prayin woman.

Just like the guy from SDiF?
@@ailediablo79 wow thanks for all that information.
@@chubbychuckle no problem, share the info .
@@ailediablo79 oh shut it, a manufactured state or not they were sovereign and WANTED to remain sovereign. The citizens of Kuwait had the right to their own laws and their own country, nothing you say or Iraqi apologist can say will change that.
The F-22 wasn't around then,at least officially, the F-15 was the air superiority fighter for the Air Force,with 104 kills to 0 losses! Along with the F-16. The F-18 is the multi roll aircraft for the Navy *and Marines and the A-6 intruder was heavily used. And of course this was the official debut of the F-117 stealth. Great content bud,thx for what you do 🤘
It hadn't even had its first flight yet. The YF-22 (the prototype.. a very different aircraft) first flew in September of 1990, with the production version not having its first flight until 1997, and the F-22 wouldn't actually enter service until 2005, nearly 15 years after the events of this video.
This is the last war the F-14 Tomcat seen action in... There was a few peacekeeping operations afterwords and no fly zone enforcement..
I remember watching reports as the attacks were underway. There were journalists in a hotel filming from the balcony of their room maybe 5 stories up and two Tomahawks came around the corner and flew down the street at a level just below the journalists and followed the street in between the buildings and impacted a target off in the distance. Pretty impressive.
I've been trying to find the video of this, but I can't.
@@SaltineChips It was a live feed as I recall...there may not have been a recording of it.
@@quentinmichel7581 That event got mentioned in the video. And the target was the Ministry of Defense building.
@@aaroncabatingan5238 being a civilian or journalist on that street and seeing a tomahawk fly past you at a high speed must have been a religious experience
lmaooo RIP to Artur's hairline after this roast session. I feel for you, my hairline is receding too. But never retreating
Your reaction to the A-10 warthog is exactly how i am whenever i see/hear about them being involved in a conflict. They have to be the coolest damn things in the sky imo
Nah F-111 is where it's at
A-10 goes BRRRRRRTTTTT
This guy makes some of the best videos about complex events. He breaks them down so well.
It’s sad he’s so underrated, he puts so much effort into his videos
Yes, please react to more Operations Room videos, I would say all of them because all of them are good.
It would be nice to for you to react to the footage of a F-16 pilot dodging 6 SAMs with a malfunctioning chaff system during Desert Storm
SCUDs were competing with Patriot missiles for the least effective munitions ever used and they competed hard against each other in DS. SCUDs lost sightly due to being equally ineffective but cheaper than the Patriot missiles. I miss, I kid... But seriously.
@@ScottLovenberg incorrect no pilot has survived the patriot shooting at them (the friendlies didnt have their IFF turned on)
just because there were coding issues with the patriot doesnt mean the system is terrible forever and the coding issue was able to be worked around as well
@@n3v3rforgott3n9 In The context I was speaking, their deployment in Desert Storm (ergo the comparison to Scuds), the numbers I've seen are 25% of targets hit. Today it's 95%. That's still a 1 in 20 miss. Are you suggesting that 3 out of 4 shots in Desert Storm we intentionally missed or ... If no pilot survived being shot at, what happened to the 75% of the shots that didn't hit? These were mostly old Migs without upgraded electronics too - not exactly technological marvels we were shooting like fish in a barrel.
The first deployment of Patriots was a weak link compared to the overwhelming success of nearly every other piece of tech we used to objectively pummel the enemy. Today is a different story.
Except for the rocket defense systems based on windows NT with the clock drift that required reboots to remain effective. And then we still put Windows on our battleships. That was a problem Unix had solved decades earlier. This also is nearly flawless these days.
@@ScottLovenberg Where did you get 25%? The software bug caused inaccuracy the longer the system stayed on without a restart yes.
I love your videos artur, you made my day
Yeah
Absolutely! Why do people try to make him change?

@@silverfruit14 it is a fact bro, just ask any arab whom knows history.
My uncle flew one of those 7 B52s at the beginning of the war. Lt Colonel Garrett. He still tells me stories about it.
Iraq had a lot of French-built equipment such as Mirage fighters at the time along with their Soviet stuff. I believe their air defense radars were French too, if I remember correctly.
Anti ship missles aswell
@@jasonbrewer6714 Even during the Falklands, the Argentines had Exocet missiles. Cant blame the French for being top business men (or Warlords depending who you ask)
I loved this video, please continue, and I don't mind the Estonian soldier hat competition as long as it helps the channel!
Greetings from Brazil!
Here in America, we watched on TV and called it "Shock and Awe'". Truly it was.
That was the 2nd war. Shock and awe.
@@usmc24thmeu36 lol so he’s lieing?
@@G.IKendall Whether or not the original poster is lying or simply confusing the Gulf War with the 2003 Iraq War (2nd war), Marc is correct in that it was the later war where the US armed forced used the term “shock and awe” to describe their plans, and the initial invasion was arguably the most televised war event due to access allowed to reporters.
There's always more to learn about military history! Keep in mind this air battle was 30 years ago - stealth was brand-new and we were still using lots of equipment from the Vietnam era. Iraq had a large, battle-hardened, well equipped armed forces in 1990 with a lot of modern equipment.
This is honestly one of the best videos of Desert Storm on TH-cam.
I love the detailed breakdown. It takes real talent to make something so massive and complex actually comprehensive.
One of my older brothers, my mom's first son from her first marriage, was in the US Navy and was a part of Desert Storm.
I can still remember the video my cousin took when her, my mom and my cousin's kid's flew to Virginia to welcome him home. My mom started crying soon as the ship could be seen. Soon as sailors started disembarking my mom went crazy crying, screaming my brother's name.
My brother retired not long after Desert Storm.
Another older brother of mine(my dad's second son from his first marriage) is currently in the US National Guard Army Division. Been in the Military for nearly 35 year's.
I remember taking a break at our squadron in Riyadh and watching CNN. The reporters were on the air saying I quote "The sky's over Baghdad have been illuminated " and then a couple minutes later, we knocked out their phone connection with our cruise missiles. Then Mac, our sargent hollered at us to get back to work, from here on out our mission is "real".
Artur, it’s ok. When the hair on your head goes away, the hair on your back increases. In a way, your back is like the Florida of hair. When it retires from your head, it just moves south to enjoy its gray years.
18:30. I’m fairly certain that power plant was powered by natural gas, not nuclear fission.
I love the hat competition, it's a lot of fun, I was looking forward to hearing my state this video 😂
I will put it back then?
@@arturrehi Hi there Artur! Can you please react to ArmsChair history again but this time Operation Bagration which is considered Nazi Germany’s worst defeat in WW2. Please!
Idk why I almost choked on my water when he said "the freedom is attacking"
Thats how delusional people are
This lead to the crisis that is the main reason for destabilized middle east
@@hiteshadhikari The middle east have always been a hell hole courtesy of the Europeans and Turks.
Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG, I have waited for some people to watch this shit. Hope you enjoyed this guy is great.
Man, you're not stupid! You're learning, and that's smart! What is stupid is not learning everyday. Good for you to ask questions and seek answeres. Never stop!
The tomahawk cruise missiles actually use small jet engines to fly for extremely long distances. That is also why they have wings and look a bit like aircraft. They don't have a large explosive charge, but they can precisely hit targets from a very large range.
When you lose your hair in the front you are a thinker, when losing it in the back you are a lover when two meet you think you are a lover. A little humor from someone that lost his long ago.
i love your channel and your vids, always has a friendly and nice vibe to it, and i even end up learning some stuff with them, keep up the great work man. much love 👍❤️

This is incredible I'm watching this in Sep 22 over 7 months after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Artur has just gotten better and better as time goes on, and his comment "you never know when the Russians will invade" is frightfully prescient. Also I never really thought about fish having hair, but now I know.
I love Sami’s editing!
I love this series from Ops Room both the Air and Ground battle day by day analysis. Cant wait for Artur to get to the Ground war part. Also Artur you aint stupid for not knowing something, you're stupid if you're given the opportunity to learn something and refuse to learn it
I waited for a video on desert storm for months.
And The Operations room is a good channel for war and warfare history
If you have any questions with aircraft i can just recommend a simulation called DCS World
The Tomahawk cruise missile used back then was the old design. It had a few variations with range and payload, but max range is around 1,500 miles. In between Gulf War one and two, (mid '90s) Clinton was fond of firing those instead of sending troops. He went through the entire inventory, replacing them with the new models. They've been updated again since then.
Recently shaved my head because my hair line is receding. honestly feels a million times better now. Don't sweat the small stuff Artur
I don’t think people understand that with his depression he can’t just blow over these comments like usual people and not trip off them no matter what the little voice in the back of his head is going to make him think about what someone said negative and when you suffer from depression like him that shit can really mess with him and his emotional state so how about we remember that when we leave a comment in the future. Thank you!
Agree
Been suppting you for a little over a year or two now. God speed brother in arms.
my dad was injured in desert storm by a I.E.D explosion that tossed him out of his vehicle which then rolled over his leg. he has had multiple surgeries and now to this day has a metal rod from his hip to his ankle, and has lost the ability to bend that leg
That was a quick campaign. I was there for Desert Shield, Desert Storm and Desert Farewell. It felt like they were never going to let us go home.
So basically, the air phase can be resumed in the Coalition being stationed in Saudi Arabia, pointing at Iraq, and saying "f*ck everything in that particular direction"
Also, Arthur, iirc, at the time many thought it would be a bloody affair (and not a walk in the park), so while they were testing weapons, there were more motives going on.
I was 15 at the time, and that first night I thought I should pay attention because I expected it would still be going on when I turned 18.
The success was a huge surprise.
I remember that night I was watching the evening news and at 7pm when they were supposed to go on the 'Wheel of Fortune' but just stayed on the covering the airstrikes. The biggest fear was Iraq striking at Isreal with SCUDs and the U.S. didn't know if the Patriot missile system would be effective or not.
Patriot was garbage didn't do anything against scuds. If anything caused more damage by causing fuselage to break up. Still it made isrealis feel safe so was successful in keeping them out of war.
@@puellamservumaddominum6180 Bullshit - we got targeted in Dammam by SCUD missiles constantly, and the Patriot battery near us took out every single one of them. The Patriot missiles were great.
@@itsahellofaname A later report by the General Accounting Office concluded that Patriot missiles destroyed only 9 percent of the Scuds they tried to engage. The Israeli Defense Force calculated they'd destroyed just 2 percent.Mar 24, 2003.
You obviously were never in desert storm. No area got Scud missles every day.
Total 88 Scud missiles, 46 were fired into Saudi Arabia and 42 into Israel.
@@puellamservumaddominum6180 I was in Dammam, as I said - that's in Saudi Arabia. Also, I didn't say we got SCUD attacked "every day"...we got something like 12 SCUD attacks in a very short period of time. Patriot missiles didn't miss any of them, or I wouldn't be here.
I love talking about Desert storm cuz my Dad fought in Operation Desert Shield. He was there for everything. Desert Storm and Shield and everything he even stayed for like a year afterward to clean up the Country.
Amazing to see when a person can take a legit joke about themselves, keep doing great man.
A few years past my time, but remember it well, knowing what what's about to happen.
Hey Artur, check out a documentary called "28 days to Baghdad"
The hairline jokes are through the roof lol luv ya brotha, dont worry my hairline is hauling ass
I had my 21st birthday in Iraq. My platoon made it special for me. Even after all these years, I still keep in touch with 15 of them. Some have fallen, some have become homeless, and others just had life stuff come up. Those moil fields looked like Hell on Earth. I can still remember the stench of that burning crude. I went on to get a total of 18.5 years of duty for America. (Medically retired due to injuries)
With the anti-air, it wasn't just expending ammunition, but forced them to turn their radar on, which makes them vulnerable to SEAD(Suppression of Enemy Air Defense) aircraft. They are armed with weapons that can home in on the radar of AA defenses and destroy them from out of range.
"I'm going bald, everybody!" Sorry Artur... welcome to the club! 😵 It happens to all of us that survive a warrior's life / are lucky enough to get that far.
Bought 3 hats recently hopefully he didn't stop the competition
a guy who owns a party store by my house was living in iraq during the first golf war. he said the cruise missiles would literally fly down the streets, make turns and arrive on target than shoot up in the air and drop right down on target, he said it was something to see
You always bring light to our day Arthur. We love you!
That intro had me thinking that this video was sponsored by Keeps.
Lol
I was waiting for a Keeps sponsorship at the beginning. Don't worry Artur, I started balding at 17.
I was there, USNMCB 4 Gulf Excursion 👊🏼💯 All the pre war guys, special forces, the early arrivals to the theater, so few knew what was being prepared for. We did. We set it all up, then the rest came in, and boom, knocked it out of the park. Clean and decisive 🇺🇸
Did you leave a sign, "this area cleared by your friendly green Giants" or "you're welcome... Follow the trail of disabled equipment for more info" or anything cheeky like that for the main force? I love that dark humor.
In all seriousness, I hear by the time the main force waded in, they were being overrun... By swarms of surrendering combatants. Must have left an impression.
@@ScottLovenberg I’m sure we did, yes, love that stuff too! Yes, by the time fighting started up, the Iraq military had been starved and beaten by the environment before a shot was ever fired. “Green machine readies the fields for harvest.” “American/allied tank and equipment parking only. All others will be blown to pieces!”
I was with the 8th Infantry Division (Mechanized) and playing laser tag with tanks in Hohenfels Germany when Kuwait was invaded. We didn't get deployed, instead tasked with guarding USAREUR HQ in Heidelberg. The unit I joined at Ft. Campbell had just returned from the gulf and saw a lot of cakewalk type of action, though they suffered friendly fire from an M1 tank.
Check out the battle of 73 easting by War Stories (on your own or recorded). I know you already reacted to a video about the battle, but this one has interviews with some of the tank personel so you get to hear some of the events that arent covered in other videos
Welcome to the bald club buddy! Much love!
I love your Estonian hat competition Artur! It is always fun! I understand others comments about minimizing it but forget them! I am one of the ones who looks forward to it every video that you upload! It is so much fun!! To not have it would be a lost. We all have our own opinions and it is nice that you respect them but don’t let those who not like them take away from those who like them like me and others!! Keep doing your thing Artur! Much love from Long Beach, California!!!
I imagine it was quite the sight to see, and absurdly loud, thanks for the content.
We need the fish documentary
Artur, when are you going to mention the monthly patrons, that buy your coffee mugs & fish shirts, to support you?
Watch Taffy 3/Battle of Samar (part of Battle of Leyte Gulf) by Drachinifel
I relate to jarhead more than any other war film, because it really demonstrates how the military pumps you up for combat, then explores the frustration you can feel if you never have the "outlet" for that build up.
I feel so privileged to be able to see the perspective that someone from another country has on the actions of mine. Love from America!
If it makes you feel any better Arthur, my hair line is Denmark...in 1943🤣 The power plants were fossil fuled plants, also if you could ever do a review on the Iowa class battleships...it would be appreciated😊
My hairline receded, just like my father, grandfather, and uncles. Oh well. You still have 339,000 loyal fans who enjoy you and do not care whether you have hair or not. I only have 46 subscribers, and I do not think any of them ever concerned themselves with my hairline. hahahaha :) Most of us out here watching your videos are military or former military, so having little to no hair was just a way of life for us. Just keep doing what you do. I love watching your videos.
I remember when the soldiers left from my home town. There was a big celebration at the local armory. There was around 200 that left from my home town.
There are F117 pilots from this "war" that were interviewed about their strike, and how it felt to be not locked on by the enemy but still the AA fire was still a thing. Pretty nice interviews.
Artur...they dropped carbon filaments...not bombs...on the electrical stations...NOT on the actual power plants themselves. They shorted out the grid so they would NOT have to destroy the power plants themselves...whether they were nuclear or not.
Also...then the APaches fired at those "power facilities" they were shooting at a radar site out in the middle of nowhere...there were no civilians involved at all.
Don’t worry dude, I’m going bald too and will probably be balder than you before I’m 25
I remember as a kid watching the first night on live TV before the CNN footage went out. It looked like they were showing a video of the stars. But it was all rockets and bullets. I remember that feeling forever.
14:00 Yeah that's a pretty huge issue. For the most part, civilian casualties were kept a minimum but in one instance, the US bombed a facility that was low on the list of priority, so it took weeks into the air war to get to that point on the list. The problem was since the city didn't have power and this building did they allowed civilians to use it during the night as an air-raid shelter.
The intelligence was gathered during the daytime so they didn't know there were citizens using it at night, they bombed it and killed a bunch of people and wounded a lot more, and probably the biggest reason why they were in the shelter at night in the first place was that they didn't have power anywhere else. They were left without power or water. The power issues lasted for years.
but it had to be done, it severely limited Iraq's ability to wage war.
U should react to the whole desert storm series on this guys channel it’s very interesting and badass. Good work as always 👍🏽
Just started watching and DAMN, you're gorgeous...your hairline means nothing. You're adorable 🥰🤗😘
From someone who was there on ground, the air campaign broke the Iraqi's will to fight before we got in there to fight.
The whole Iraqi reactor deal, the reacter had already been taken out, not by the US but by Isreal. They flew American f15s and blew it up.
John Peters and John Nicholls wrote a book about their experiences after they were shot down, called "Tornado Down". It's a good read and they were treated reeeeaaaallly badly. I was surprised they were still alive at the end of the war.
Artur, you should react to the battle of Umbara or the 2nd battle of Geonosis, even though they’re fictional they are still epic battles
Years ago I stood on the deck of the USS Wisconsin (now in Norfolk, Virginia) where those first cruise missiles (TLAM) were launched against Iraq. It was a famous night time film on CNN shown around the world for days. I took next to the boxes where they were extracted from at massive speed, bright light in the blackest night. It was a highlight of my life.
Always entertaining. I love your enthusiasm!
The way you took that on the chin and made content out of it is great! People in America just like to give you a hard time especially if they've been around a while they probably just feel comfortable enough to make those jokes :)
the operation room is soooooo good, desert storm was unreal
There's a documentary i grew up watching about this called "Desert Storm narrated by the Pilots". Its up on youtube. Its all real footage with pilots talkin about their experiences set to sound and music. Might be worth your time.
When the Iowa class battleships started shelling the coastline, the Iraqi's had to pull back 35 miles from the coast to be out of range. I've been on 2 of those battleships. They are huge.
I know I'm late, but I started watching your channel when the conflict in Ukraine started and I started to watch some of your old content (which is why I'm here) just got to say I like you videos and I'm glad your able to take the hair line jokes with laughter. love your vids man keep up the good work.
In 1990 I was a Platoon Sergeant in the US Army. In December of 1990 my platoon deployed to Saudi as part of the coalition. Weeks later, when the air assault began we'd watch day afer day as our planes headed north into Iraq and then returned headed south later on. When the ground war finally kicked off in February, our tanks moved north so quickly that we MPs, who were escorting the fuel convoys behind the tanks, then back to Saudi to refuel those tankers, and then back to catch up to the tank, had to drive almost flat out in both directions in order to keep those tank columns adequately fueled. I was practically a walkover because the air forces had done such a brilliant job of reducing the Iraqi troops and armor to compost. I wish this channel had the ability for me to post photos. If it did, I'd post the photos of me driving a Chinese type 531 command track found in a wiped out Iraqi FOB that I drove back to our containment area. What a piece of junk it was! The only quality thing about it was it's German-made engine.
When I lived in Hawaii I was there for the 75th Pearl Harbor memorial anniversary on Sunday December 7, 2016 and I visited the USS Missouri. I'm from Arizona so seeing the USS Arizona form the deck of the USS Missouri was emotionally powerful I will never forget that day as long as I live. I think operation desert storm was the last time the USS Missouri was used in battle and the USS Missouri was where the Japanese signed surrender in 1945.
This was also nicknamed. Operation "shock and awe "
Been watching for awhile now. Good videos man, keep it up
Another great review. Thanks Artur.
Jake Gillanhal starred in Jarhead. Jared Leto played Joker in Suicide Squad, Nicholas Cage's brother in Lord of War and sings in the band 30 Seconds to Mars.
Hey artur i just wanna say that your videos and your energy are helping calm my anxiety so much. You’re making a positive impact on normal everyday people like me. Thank you
3:00 you were definitely correct about that…
