Royal Family Fears Keep Saudi Military Weak

[Doritos11]

The troops that Kicked the Iraqis from Khafji are mostly the Saudi National guard with a few Qatari AMX-30, the US did not send its foot troops to Khafji, they only provided Air support. don't need to get all defensive about it my friend, just eat it and move on. Lol.

US abrams up front, you run behind it. just eat it.

I can argue about this and provide a lot of information, even a US marine that was present in Khafji said that Iraq was the stronger force, alone you could not do it dude just accept it and get over with it, anyone could prove this, even half of you Saudi friends here..
Ofcourse, for 8 years Iran and Iraq were in a hard war where both sides had it hard, but the brave superior Saudi army would just kick the Iraqis out within a few hours because their military power was 50 times that of Iraq..

the video that tell the story of the battle

Distressed by the occupation of Khafji, Saudi commander General Khaled bin Sultan appealed to American General Norman Schwarzkopf for an immediate air campaign against Iraqi forces in and around the city. However this was turned down, and it was instead decided that the city would be retaken by Arab forces.[74] The task fell to the 2nd Saudi Arabian National Guard Brigade's 7th Battalion, composed of Saudi infantry and two Qatari tank companies attached to the task force.[75] These were supported by U.S. Army Special Forces and Marine Reconnaissance personnel.[76]

The force was put under the command of Saudi Lieutenant Colonel Matar, who moved out by 17:00 hours. The force met up with elements of the U.S. 3rd Marine Regiment, south of Khafji, and were ordered to directly attack the city.[77] The engagement of that night was to be the first battle the Qatari Army had seen in its entire history.[78] A platoon of Iraqi T-55s attacked a Qatari tank company south of the city, leading to the destruction of three T-55s by Qatari AMX-30s, and the capture of a fourth Iraqi tank.[79] Lacking any coordinated artillery support,[78] artillery fire was provided by the 11th Marine Regiment.[79] An initial attack on the city was called off after the Iraqi occupants opened up with heavy fire, prompting the Saudis to reinforce the 7th Battalion with two more companies from adjacent Saudi units.[80] The attempt to retake the city had been preceded by a 15-minute preparatory fire from U.S. Marine artillery. However Iraqi fire did manage to destroy one Saudi V-150 armored personnel carrier.[81]

Meanwhile, 2nd Saudi Arabian National Guard Brigade's 5th Battalion moved north of Al-Khafji to block Iraqi reinforcements attempting to reach the city. This unit was further bolstered by the 8th Ministry of Defense and Aviation Brigade, and heavily aided by Coalition air support. Although fear of friendly fire forced the 8th Ministry of Defense and Aviation Brigade to pull back the following morning, Coalition aircraft successfully hindered Iraqi attempts to move more soldiers down to Al-Khafji and caused large numbers of Iraqi troops to surrender to Saudi forces.[81]

That night, two U.S. Army heavy equipment transporters entered the city of Al-Khafji, apparently lost, and were fired upon by Iraqi troops. Although one truck managed to turn around and escape, the two drivers of the second truck were wounded and captured. This led to a rescue mission organized by 3rd Battalion 3rd Marine Regiment, which sent a force of 30 men to extract the two wounded drivers. Although encountering no major opposition, they did not find the two drivers who had, by this time, been taken prisoner. The Marines did find a burnt out Qatari AMX-30, with its dead crew.[82] That same night, a U.S. Air Force AC-130 was shot down by an Iraqi surface to air missile (SAM), killing the aircraft's crew of 14.[83]

The interdiction on the part of Coalition aircraft and Saudi and Qatari ground forces was having an effect on the occupying Iraqi troops. Referring to Saddam Hussein's naming of the ground engagement as the "mother of all battles", Iraqi General Salah radioed in a request to withdraw, stating, "The mother was killing her children."[84] Since the beginning of the battle, Coalition aircraft had flown at least 350 sorties against Iraqi units in the area and on the night of 30–31 January, Coalition air support also began to attack units of the Iraqi Third Corps assembled on the Saudi border.[85]

On 31 January, the effort to retake the city began anew. The attack was launched at 08:30 hours, and was met by inaccurate Iraqi fire which knocked-out two Saudi V-150 wheeled vehicles.[86] The 8th battalion of the Saudi brigade was ordered to deploy to the city by 10:00 hours, while 5th Battalion to the north engaged another column of Iraqi tanks attempting to reach the city. The latter engagement led to the destruction of around 13 Iraqi tanks and armored personnel carriers, and the capture of 6 more vehicles and 116 Iraqi soldiers, costing the Saudi battalion two dead and two wounded. The 8th Battalion engaged the city from the northeast, linking up with 7th Battalion. These units cleared the southern portion of the city, until 7th Battalion withdrew south to rest and rearm at 18:30 hours, while the 8th remained in Al-Khafji.[87]

The 8th continued clearing buildings and by the time the 7th had withdrawn to the south, the Saudis had lost approximately 18 dead and 50 wounded, as well as seven V-150 vehicles. Coalition aircraft continued to provide heavy support throughout the day and night.[88] A veteran of the Iran-Iraq War later mentioned that Coalition airpower "imposed more damage on his brigade in half an hour than it had sustained in eight years of fighting against the Iranians."[89] During the battle, an Iraqi amphibious force was sent to land on the coast and move into Khafji. As the boats made their way through the Persian Gulf towards Khafji, American and British aircraft caught the Iraqi boats in the open and largely destroyed the Iraqi amphibious force.[90]

The Saudi and Qatari units renewed operations the following day. Two Iraqi companies, with about 20 armored vehicles, remained in the city and had not attempted to break out during the night. While the Saudi 8th Battalion continued operations in the southern portion of the city, the 7th Battalion began to clear the northern sector of the city. Iraqi resistance was sporadic and most Iraqi soldiers surrendered on sight; as a result, the city was recaptured on 1 February 1991.[91]

Do you remember me jalad al khaleej, and the 2nd time and the 3rd time we argued.

It is still in the forum, go look for the entire discussion and enjoy yourself.

Saudi's future depends on Saudi people. The future of the King can be questionable and decided by only Saudis. Thats my personal view.

i like turkey...............

indonesia & Turkey is friend.........but i dont like erdogan...i hope turkey stay neutral & leave syria, let them destroyed into ash
shia & sunni must erased......
no freedom in arab, they are coward.......they cannot protect palestine..........they love zionist & west.........

Today Arab is Khawarij/wahabbism...............No more arab people & leader like Umar Bin Khatab.......

Saudi Army Only For Protect The Regime.......Not The People...........

The hatred of a South East Asian Muslim against certain Arab countries is quite understandable. The tyrannical manner in which they treat Muslims of South Asia/Southeast Asia is deplorable and not even the "Kafir" West probably treats its Muslim immigrant population in such a manner the way certain Arab countries do.

If it wasn't for Blonde hair blue eyed Female American soldiers, today Saudi Arabia would have been known as "Husseini Arabia".

The war was won by Western forces under command of the Americans. Saudi military might have stalemated Iraqi army in a small Skirmish, but the overall battle and the war was decisively won by American led Western forces.

Saudis future depends on how much oil barrels are left in that country.
Whole world is counting down the years until al-Saud loses its oil and goes back to what it was pre-1947, ie. isolate, barren, infertile, desert

Unless Saudis improve themselves, they remain an embarrassment...

So much wealth and nothing to show.,,What a shame!

But who would spend money on poverty and disease ridden Pakistan if there was no Saudi oil money?
I mean besides the US.
Keep holding your breath for 50 years, by that time oil will dry out and Pakistan can stop begging us for aid.

With all due respect, I politely ask you to refrain from using that kind of language, just leave them alone.
Our commitment to Pakistan is as solid as a rock. Let just ignore what some people say here and there.
