February 1991, the Gulf War. Republican Guard units defend the flank of the Iraqi army occupying Kuwait. The Battle of 73 Easting was named after a north-south coordinate line (an "Easting", measured in kilometers) on military maps. The US Army’s Eagle troop, consisting of M1 Abrams and Bradley Fighting vehicles engaged and destroyed a significant number of Iraqi Republican Guard tanks and Armoured vehicles. This was to be the last major tank battle of the 20th century. The Iraqis were using Soviet designed equipment and the battle's lopsided outcome in favor of the United States was to be a significant milestone in proving US tactics and technology in Armored Warfare.

I was in this battle. 20 year old specialist on an M1A1 “Wolfpack 7” 3rd squadron 2ACR. We destroyed 2 t55’s and 2 T72’s. While the sand storm was going on we couldn’t see more than a few hundred meters in any direction. After the tank battle died down we became the pow collection point. We pointed the back of the tank towards the pow’s to help keep them warm with the turbine engine, fyi the desert gets really cold at night. My boss the squadron command sergeant major Tom Nestor and I dismounted to clear the bunkers around us while my gunner and driver over watched the pow’s. Clearing Iraqi bunkers and armored vehicles with a flashlight and .45 pistol was the scariest thing I have ever done. I still get cold sweats when those memories come to the surface.
Great work to you and your fellow brothers!! Happy you made it back home and safe! Thank you and God bless. My dad was a mechanic and ended up going out. He told my brothers and I a couple stories but nothing too crazy. Also, thanks for sharing your experience. Take care and have a great evening.
Thank you for your service mate.
Thank you for you’re service
Thank you man for your service
congrats! thanks for your service!
My jaw dropped when the camera showed the commander's face model. Beautifully animated and told
ikr
IKR?!! they advanced heavily
same bro
Which one? 😂
The iraqi one I think, the face of horror@@blazemacarthur3555
13:50 that turret camera getting blown in the air is ridiculously creative! No only the quality of the animation is impeccable, but the creativity of the shots are unmatched!
It actually happens when a round hits the ammo compartment and extreme pressure is created inside
I find it amazing that in 4 years this channel went from 2d animations to very realistic 3d animations keep up the good work
Truly insane. That's why I'll never stop watching
fr they should pay their animators right too
dang i watched those old videos. i completely forgot
Next is 4th dimensional work in 2030.
Looks great but some of those mouth movements will stay in my nightmares for the next years to come lmao
I am a very old Yarnhub viewer....this is by far the BEST video they have presented...everything ranging from the spectacular graphics, the voiceover, the music is top notch. The little snippets of normal conversation that they added in between the narration really upped the overall output. I must say, watching Yarnhub's old videos and then this one, I can see the difference right in front of my eyes. Absolutely delighted by your new venture, and keep up the good work👌
Me to
Same here! I can't imagine what would the future of Yarnhub would be like, I will continue to support Yarnhub until the very end, thank you Yarnhub team for keeping history fun and alive!
watching the animation steadily get better is awesome
Same bro it's gotten so much better
Balls
As a veteran Yarnhuber, I just paused this 32 seconds in to say this animation is incredible!
12:52 war crime averted
The Next Battle of 73 Easting is down there 👇
Mission accomplished unsuccessfully
Crisis averted. Have a nice day sir.
wouldn't really be a war crime as he is a legitimate armed military target
@@epicmansteingaming452Sometimes your enemies should be forgiven.
@@epicmansteingaming452invading a foreign land and going out of your way to kill dormant regiments where your command was NOT TO, is the definition of war crkme
Watching for years, seeing the animation slowly get better is truly awarding, and I can only imagine the team feels the same, much love to everyone at Yarnhub!
i remember the days where it was about 6 repeated clips per video, its gotten so much better
i can agree as ive been subscribed to Yarnhub a couple years
I remember when it was 2d animation, now it is photorealistic
its amazing to see that their best video is the newest one, this is true development and passion
@@themastersquire6341 well you are trueley more OG than me lol. edit: i just looked back at the old videos, the style has changed so much that i didn't realise that according to youtube i was halfway through my at least second watch of the second video, i remember watching the second one still avaliable to watch, but not the first
I felt like I was the tank crew. That’s how realistic this film was. I been a viewer for 2 years and this is the best I’ve seen. Not just from the channel, but from across the platform.
More realistic than you think, at the real-life topgun (one word) pilots actually have to put money in a jar, like a swear jar, every time they quote the movie Top Gun
When Tribble had to reload the missles, I actually started to get up holding my cat like I was loading the launchers, except, instead of TOWs being loaded, a cat was being held in the air for no reason. I felt the panic of having to get out to reload. Good job with these vids!
Edit: My cat: “Why tf do you do this?”
"Loader, load CAT!"

Bro shooting a TOW missile at a ZSU-24 is the equivalent of a toddler taking on a hydrogen bomb
Toddlers can be unpredictable, better to play it safe.
3:30 McMaster looking at the camera just absolutely made my day. I feel so ashamed not to be a patreon supporter yet, but I feel so proud to have watched Yarnhub grow up into this high quality of a channel.
I can't even imagine the terror of facing an enemy that can see you but you can't see them in the sand storm.
It's very sad, and people forget that at the end these soilders are also people, they're just following orders if it were up to them they probably wouldnt want war.
@@mohammedahmed-ue3ebAre they conscripted or did they volunteer? Hmm?
@@junfon7097 The Republican guard were volunteers lol

That was the moment when all realized that Russian equipment is crap!@@thesoaringscepter4325
My senior drill sergeant at Fort Knox was an E5 gunner during this battle. He was on 33 tank in E troop if I remember right. That man had deployed countless times to many different war fronts, but still chose his 2ACR combat patch over all the others. He used to tell us stories about this fight and showed us some pictures, but we never really understood what he was talking about...we are all new Tankers and didn't understand. A couple of years later, my LT was doing some platoon movement classes for our troop, and he started talking about this battle....when me and a couple of my buddies from Knox, looked at each other wide eyed, and then spoke up about our SDS's stories he told us. An E7 walked by the troop window as we were talking about him and mentioned him by name to us, as a question. We nodded and he just said "you should be honored to have learned under that man", then walked away. Leaving the whole damn room quiet and everybody just kinda starting at each other.
Everything started to make sense after that. All the passion for armor he showed during the 6 months as my platoon's DS....a man that literally shed tears over the smallest mistakes we made and dedicated every moment to us in training us to be better. We were turned into Tankers....by a man that had many many confirmed kills on enemy armor. Made me even more proud to be a Hard Knox Tanker
Thanks for ur service
I was a tank commander with the 1st AD. I can appreciate everything you said.
@@michaelcurl9817nice I was one of the last 19d osuts out of knox
who was your senior drill?
was it Sedillo?
I was a Knox tanker. 2004.
It's so unique seeing Abrams , T72s, and Bradleys in a channel that usually goes over ww2 /cold war battles.
Holy heck, 130 likes from 8 days?
MAN YOUR ANIMATIONS HAVE GONE FROM BEING DRAWN BY A 9 YEAR OLD TO BEING AN ABSOLUTE MASTER PIECE!!! KEEP IT UP
Man , from the heart
You have achieved a new level of quality and detailing in editing and story telling
Hats off
their animation is unmatched at this speed
Adding onto this, the voice acting is also amazing!
15:25 especially. That felt genuinely convincing considering the budget.@@jamesnova8975
Possibly the highest quality production of military history I have ever seen. You sir ARE the man to watch.
Your standard for military history is exceeding low for factual and historical quality
Are we watching the same crap

Daaaaaamn, that's some FIIIIIINE-ass rendering rught there !😮
Holy Jesus the Commander's face... What a beautiful video, and how lucky that such a high level of detail has been applied to the video concerning my favorite tank battle of all time 🙏🏽😭
My Company First Sergeant from my deployment to Afghanistan in 2006-2007 fought in this battle as a Bradley gunner. It was remarkable hearing his stories from the battle.
Sounds like a solid First Sergeant. Also cool to have on with real combat experience from the Gulf War was rare
@@Autobotmatt428 Knew three such men. Solid as hell.
Yeh tell us about all these "human waves" whenever youre asses got kicked
Weren't all the enemy tanks abandoned in reality?
People have pointed it out before, but the difference between the overwhelming success of Desert Storm compared to the total bungling of Iraqi Freedom is insane.
It’s like the mess the government made out of rolling thunder and the complete success of linebacker in veitnam using pretty much the same equipment and nothing that couldn’t have been done in rolling thunder. Linebacker accomplished more in 4 months than rolling thunder in 4 years.
Thats because to win, you must have the political will to win.
CIA itself states that coups and rebellions, no matter how much funding and training, are only possible if the political will is there.
Liberating Kuwait had plenty of political will. The US had no problem with that
Invading Iraq because Israel didnt like them does NOT provide much political goodwill.
Iraq is at the end of the day, had a much bigger threat to face which was ISIS. The rebels mostly ignored the Americans and fought ISIS, before asking the Americans to leave politely which they did lmfao.
Its kinda funny cus come to think of it, Iraq couldv gotten Japan treatment and couldv been a superpower on the level of Saudi Arabia, if it just asked for it lol.
Hard to do that when you sever the nations head and abruptly install a democracy without time to let em adjust.
Sadam did as much bad as Hirohito had, but was treated like a terrorist for it.
Sadam couldv easily gotten the hirohito treatment avoiding the whole clusterfuck of the war.
@@honkhonk8009agreed, engineer gaming.
@@honkhonk8009 "Sadam couldv easily gotten the hirohito treatment avoiding the whole clusterfuck of the war."
blame kuwaitis for such disrespect and being entiteled brats.
Total bungling? The run up to Baghdad was not, but the bypassing of ammo dumps and poor governance afterward set the stage for six years of insurgency.
really makes you realize how important info on enemy movement is and of course technology that enhances the visibility of the tank crew
like thermals
I've watched a few channels make their own version of this engagement including the History channel. This is by far the best in terms of detail and just a general sense of actually being there. Definitely subscribing.
I have NEVER seen a channel as dedicated to improving every single video as yours, your animation, content and narrations have improved exponentially with each batch of videos. Great job we are all very impressed
Thank you so much 😀
@@Yarnhub wdym, thank YOU guys for doing this S tier content
@@Yarnhub
You Americans spread democracy in a beautiful way, and my country was bombed in that name by 16 countries of the NATO pact, but we were not defeated, we did not even capitulate, an agreement was signed in Kumanovo. 4 F-117s were shot down and one B 2 was damaged that crashed in Croatia. Serbia overthrew several empires, the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the same scenario awaits you. Greetings from Serbia!
Also worth mentioning that the American Abrams and Bradley vehicles were equipped with GPS systems, one of the first instances of gps being used in armored combat. The armored division was able to catch the Republican Guard tanks off balance due to being able to navigate across a stretch of desert that was considered unnavigable up til this point. The Iraqi tank divisions didn't think the Americans, who didn't know the terrain, would traverse that particular area, and thus weren't expecting an attack from that direction, allowing the armored cavalry to advance right up to their position virtually undetected and completely unexpected. Great video; keep it up!!
I’m fairly new to this channel, but I’ve gone back and watched so many of the videos. This is the greatest video you’ve ever made, it’s higher quality than I’d expect from a multimillion dollar movie. AMAZING WORK!!!!!!
I am so glad you guys turned into this, this is by far one of the best videos I've seen from you guys tank wise. You are all doing amazing!!!!
Tribble's Bravery is insane. He risked his life for a machine. Respect for Tribble, that man did the Impossible
Yes he truly did.
Give the man a silver star, pre-pinned to a straight jacket.
After 5 years of being with you guys, I can’t believe your animation has gotten this good!!!
I remember stumbling upon this channel 4 years ago when there were 2 videos on it. The current presentation is just incredible.

My dad was part of this operation. He was part of the 1st cavalry division and a combat engineer, and he drove and operated a armoured vehicle-launched bridge (AVLB) Awesome video as always yarnhub. 👍
Your attention to detail is quite exemplary and your videos get better each time. As a former M1A1 crewman your team may want to note that the Abrams has a turbine engine that sounds like the whistle of a fighter jet. The Abrams was known as "Whispering Death" because the engines were so quiet unlike the older tanks. Also, the 120mm rounds are accessed by a knee switch that opens the storage doors. There are quite a few videos of live fire training from inside the vehicles on TH-cam.
Amazing work. Keep it up!
Great job, on the animation and narration.
Fact: desert storm was fought 75% from the air, hence no actual fair fight happened, most of t72 were abandoned the moment us Abrams engaged.
The animation is getting better and better over the years
Edit: even the rounds the abrams shot is a real heat shell and sabot, goes same as the tow missile with its copper wire... God I love the accuracy of thee animation
Kuddos to you
My grandfather was a t72 commander, now I'm a m1a1 abrams commander in the 9th armored division
An examples of former enemies becoming allies. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing you followed in he's footsteps he will be proud of you. Wanted to do the same myself as my Grandfather was in Panzer 4s and Panthers, and I have always loved tanks. In the end I joined the Signals (UK) as that was my skill set.
Увидимся на поле боя и узнаем что лучше Абрамс или т90м😉
The 9th armored division has been inactive since 1945
@@shoelace2739 Yeah exactly wtf
I was there during the battle of 73 Easting. The carnage was unbelievable. As a medic we rotated with the troops during the battle. Sadly several soldiers in our medical platoon committed suicide years later.
Was it that battle that pushed them over the edge or just the whole experience of that war?
Was not over there but am a vet of the Storm. I had Sappers that were there. I went to Ft. Leonard Wood a year & a half later and received mine warfare trying & the stories were were extremely scary that scared the hell out of us. The mine fields were nothing short of diabolical. If it wasn't for the aerial campaign, 5,000 Combat Engineers would have been DEAD. Not wounded, dead.
So, my greatest kudos and honor goes out to you. No matter what campaign a soldier is involved in, war is an ugly thing. Foreign AND domestic.

Coming back to this channel from watching older content the quality has greatly improved, and I'm am impressed!
Good job. But I was expecting to see an adorable kitty leading one of the Abram's tanks!! 🤣🤣🤣
73 Easting was one of the most incredulous battles ever, and I have long awaited your coverage of it. This whole story was a wild set of conditions and the way it unfolded truly is wild.
This is the greatest history channel on the platform. The animation is top notch
Simple history, Yarnhub, Armchair historian and Suibhne are the 4 Best channels. If you like this then you'll like all of these
i also love simple history and kings and generals channels as well
This is brilliant - probably one of the nicest touches is the voice actors between the narration. This brings it up another level. I'm seriously impressed!
9:49 there's no way a t72 going backward that fast 💀
Man, I remember seeing this in History Channel back in the day. Glad to see you guys retelling and reanimating the story into much finer detail!
Nice video. Good story and good animation. I was a USMC tanker with TF Papa Bear that went up the middle of Kuwait during DS. I know its not easy for someone who hasn't lived it but I would suggest learning the actual fire commands to up the realism. As stated before I am a Marine but I seriously doubt the Army guys engaged in the corny dialog either. One other suggestion to add to realism is for the tanks to maintain their interval. Tanks closer together than 100 meters apart is asking for disaster, especially in the desert. Hope this didn't come off as too harsh because I did like the video. Just wanted to give a couple suggestions to add to the realism from someone who went there and did that.
I also didn’t like the cheesy dialogue.
I was under the impression that the tanks were that close together to form and armored wedge.
I am sorry the Corps got ride of the Tanks. Bad move in my view.
@@divebombexpert2619 I think they we trying to be funny and add a few bits of 1990 pop culture.
@Autobotmatt428 Getting rid of tanks, snipers, reducing artillery and infantry. There are some very bad decisions being made and the price will be paid by the men on the ground.
The tanks were that close together in the video to be able to show their numbers. In actual action, i’m sure they stayed more wide spread.
Yarnhub I still love your content, and I’m still so damn happy I found your channel. Please don’t ever stop or lose motivation for this channel. We all appreciate the time and dedication you give, we love these story’s
Thanks ) We're not going anywhere !
Of all the times I’ve been watching your videos i have never been so impressed with the quality and epic content you deserve a Oscar award for this
Absolutely fantastic yarnhub.
Should have been awarded the DSC at least,for his leadership.
The young man who loaded the missiles a SS.
Yarnhub you are the master story tellers.
Thank you.
It is amazing the depth of emotion in the eyes of the poor Iraqi tank commander. The animation has come so incredibly far.
Easily the most underrated channel on TH-cam!
Happy New Year YarnHub Team!
Happy new year!

I’ve watched this channel for so long and it’s crazy how far they’ve come
As a older viewer of this channel i’m amazed by how far the animation had come from when you had the simple 3d yet old pub to Two ace fighters meet twice to this. my word this is hands down the most well written and animated by far welldone mates happy holidays!
When youre max level civilization and your enemy is just level 2 civilization.
Great content as always. This is by far one of the best content of yarnhub from storytelling, dialogues and most of all the details in animation.
It's kind of ironic, Iraq and the middle east is where civilization 1st started and America is a pretty new country in comparison
@@neilas1630so ironic. but we can blame ghengis khan for that

It's the same equipment Russia is using in Ukraine.

2:30 hahahqh! Napalm!! I get that reference. Also stunning graphics for 18 min, nice job guys.
I remember hearing a story from one of the Bradley Commanders, he was approaching an enemy position undetected, he opened his commander hatch, his driver directed him to look to his right, and there was a T72, dug in a defensive foxhole, right next to them
That level of detail on that Iraqi commander's face is just 🤌
Never thought you guys would come this far, but having followed from the beginning, this is amazing.
Yo
Wow, this video on 73 Easting is absolutely top-notch! The attention to detail and the engaging narration make it a standout piece. I appreciate the in-depth coverage, and it's evident that a lot of effort went into producing such a high-quality video. 👏
America lost the gulf war. Failed basrah uprising too.
And how would you know that @@mustang1912
@@mustang1912 cope and seeth
The animation is so smooth on this. The tank commander’s face was rendered and modelled so amazingly well. I’ve started watching Yarnhub for 3 years or so now, and it’s amazing to see how detailed the animation has been getting.
I've been a fan for a few years and this is if not the best tank video I've seen on this channel keep it up yarnhub we love the work
Unfortunately we did lose 1 man, Sgt Nells A. Moller(RIP) from Ghost Troop, when his Bradley was hit by a 73mm round from a BMP-1, which was thought totally destroyed.
That’s a bad luck for you and huge luck for BMP-1 gunner. There is a reason why this gun was swapped to 30 mm in bpm 2
RIH
@innelator6941 Agreed. The Grom 2A28 was not exactly the most accurate "gun" in the world, but luck can happen to anyone. Even a close hit by an old 73mm Grom round, when 2/3 of your body is hanging out of the commanders hatch with binoculars, its not going to end well for anyone.
WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT IS THIS QUALITY !! Feels like im watching a AAA Game Trailer, Huge respect man.
What an outstanding channel. The comment and like request on the Sabot casing was a stroke of genius. Love it. You got my vote.
I remember watching those 2-D videos. This is a whole different level of detail. Also, I love all the B-17 stories. Those are amazing.
15:32 tribble has tears in his eyes. damne youve gotten good at the small details!
I love the quality of this animation, it has seriously improved. Also, at 4:05 the loader doesn't actually push a button to open the door. There is a knee pad under it when pressed opens the door. Though I could be wrong I never really looked into the M1A1 line of tanks only the M1A2.
You are correct, it is a knee switch on the M1A1.
Your animators are really pushing themselves with this one! Great work and keep on improving!
This is by far the best yarn hub video. I really hope they do a video on a modern naval battle, that would be cool.
As a fan of Greatest Tank Battles I must say I am mighty impressed. I've been wondering for a while how long will it take to see your take on the Battle of 73 Easting. Guess the day had finally come. I also recommend people to go visit this particular episode of Greatest Tank Battles.
While GTB:s tank animations and sound effects are mostly better, overall your graphics are not far behind. Your video excells greatly in environmental and especially human facial animations which GTB completely lacks. It really makes me think how far you have come from your humble origins. A "tiny" Yarnhub video studio is competing with a large Breakthrough Entertainment and in many ways you surpass this much bigger studio. I see a great future ahead of you. Like I said, I am MIGHTY IMPRESSED. Well done Yarnhub!
The facial expression is so great and the story so exciting! Thanks Yarnhub!
Extremely well done on you!!! Been waiting your videos for more than a year and a half this seriously blew my mind. Ever since I was I kid I have always dreamed of making videos similar like this. The “greatest tank battles” are to thank for that although they’re no longer making videos. 007 and so freaking cool.
Absolutely amazing animation guys, to see this channel improve and improve is so amazing, keep up the good work!
The Iconic movie quotes thing really got me XD. My dad flew F-18s in the Marines. He said that any time someone accidentally quoted something famous from Top Gun, they had to put money in the jar.
Also, great video! The visuals and storytelling are getting better and better every time.
TALK ABOUT A MASSIVE STEP UP THIS NOW LOOKS LIKE REAL LIFE OMG
I love the little touch you added in the beginning! In the documentary for this war one of the interviewed men said he played that song as they crossed the 72nd parallel, aka he played that song the second the war officially started
Holy shit, talk about a turkey shoot. Excellent work on the animation, you have come a very long way, keep it up!
He has
Wonderful detail! If I may offer a tip, I was a tank gunner in the Army...the gunner command response is "On the way!" when firing. You nailed it in all other aspects. Great job...and we need a Tank Commander Cat badly..lol
Oh man, as a former American tanker, this is by far and yonder my favorite episode you ever made. Pure gold!
I just found your channel tonight. I don't know exactly how accurate your videos are but they at least seem historically authentic and well researched, and the animation coupled with the detailed documentary style narration is quite impressive.
Thank you for your videos. The 3D is absolutely insane as is the storytelling. I’m currently binge watching all your masterpieces ❤
“Ride of the Valkyries” may be a cliche and overused piece, but it fit beautifully into the opening scene. Outstanding job as usual, Yarnhub!
It’s historical. It supposedly happened when Abrams rolled in to Kuwait. They were originally broadcasting messages of surrender.
@@alexterry1168 Nice to know, thanks!
The execution these guys play on their videos is outstanding. They definitely have my attention throughout the entire video. The animation is great, beautiful voiceover, and the stories they cover are truly inspiring. I think they are overall better then Simple History 😂
They're better than the shit you see on TV 😂 I really want them to colab with a game developer and they do like story/cut scenes to really set the scene, emotions and get you deeply involved in the mission ahead and make you feel epic and triumphant after completing it, I think they'd freakin nail it
I mostly agree with everything except, the voiceovers, their serviceable but sounds like dialogue from hunt down the freeman if it was trying to be good.
12:45 very proud of you!
I just discovered your channel, and I am truly impressed by your work. I would love to see an episode about Albert Roche, the French soldier of ww1 who captured 1100+ germans on the frontline and has many other exploits to tell. The story of this guy is legendary.
We did an animated story video of it for the French Channel Note Bene and for Sabaton in English
@@Yarnhub Omg I'll check this out right now ! Thanks a lot, I've been watching Nota Bene for a long Time too :)
The level of detail and effort that you put into these really shows! You've really come a long way in the quality of your animations along with the great storytelling!

I remember watching your videos when I was younger and they used to be 2d, now they are so much better!
My only gripe is the M1 doesn't have that distinct whine of its turbine. Also, the loader uses a knee switch to open the blast door. Besides that, this is a great video. Awesome work!
Amazing video. One touch that would send chills down my spine is doctrinal fire commands... "Gunner! Sabot! Tank" type stuff would really elevate the immersion and realism.
WOW, the animation quality is insanely good! I haven't watched your channel in a while, and my goodness🤯. SO MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THE B17 AND BF109😮. Good job, man😲.
I have been watching yarnhub from its first video. Although a few months after it started.
I’ve seen the animation style evolve to what it is today.
Great video looking forward to future videos.

By far my favourite Yarnhub video yet! Those graphics and animations are absolutely incredible 👌 Not to mention it being Cold War technology duking it out in such an infamous conflict, my favourite era of warfare tech by a long way! Bravo! ❤
Iraq: bro how you destroyed all of our tanks
USA: skill issue
This is such an improvement from when you guys had the cartoonish style of animating the people and the land.
Yet the stories were told well, some rather emotional! Ggs
Edited for clarity:
In 2011 I served with a guy who was part of this battle, he was stationed in the 25th to operate a Stryker MGS as only tankers can operate the cannon so that's why he was attached to Infantry. He was 51 when I met him and it was his last year in the Army. Really nice guy, and an excellent tank crewman.
Glad to see some in depth visual of what he was a part of.
god damn
Don't you mean 1991?
@@Blackcomanche I'm pretty sure he means 2011, because the guy was 51 by the time, and I'm pretty sure the Stryker only entered service in the 2000s.
@@amhuman5138 Never mind, I misunderstood!
@@amhuman5138 bingo, sorry what I meant was BACK in 2011 when I served. Not the battle taking place in 2011. Worded it weirdly I guess.
Amazing just amazing quality. Storytelling, animation, camera angles, rendering. Simply MAGNIFICENT
