Or
“How can 3kg warhead destroy amour”
“Oh I see 3kg can take out Leopard 2A6”
To be honest, on technology equal level, that conflict was not balanced nor on the same level of weapons used.
You had 38 countries in one side and lonely Iraq with post WW2 weapons in its arsenal.
I wouldn't even call that a conflict, it was 1 way traffic simply.
Iraq had become a well equipped and battle-hardened side for a country of its size and even across the pan-Islamic bloc in 1991. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, the entire GCC bloc was in panic mode and could not hope to liberate Kuwait on its own. Even countries like Egypt and Pakistan could not help liberate Kuwait at the time, not even together. Comparison of Pakistani and Iraqi military capability in 1990 is in following link:
In 2016 Pakistan Responded to the Turkish Request for Pakistani Pilots:Air Vice Marshal Ghulam Abbas Ghumman
Saddam at the time had the strongest Arab army, no other Arab army came even close, but his army wasn't a match for Pakistan. Saddam had the 4th most powerful military in the world. It's the other way around. Pakistan's military was no match for Saddam's military.pdf.defence.pk
Iraqi Army had established an integrated Air Defense system, which set it apart from any other across the pan-Islamic bloc in 1990. This system is credited for downing dozens of aircraft of the US-led coalition in 1991. This was the case in spite of the fact that US-led coalition was using heliborne special forces, cruise missiles, and stealthy aircraft to degrade Iraq's Air Defense system in a remarkable combination of military technologies and tactics that had no peer around the world at the time.
US had fought a lengthy war in Vietnam and learned valuable lessons from it. These lessons spurred a complete revisit to the American military capability with a shift from conscript model to volunteer model and development of a new generation of weapon systems. US is the pioneer of Digitalization and it had created the world's first Digitalized military force with the capacity to conduct network-centric operations in line with the AirLand Battle warfighting doctrine that was pitched in the 1980s. These improvements in conjunction with a Deception Plan to mislead Iraqi intelligence paid off in 1991.
Political leadership counts as well. Johnson and Nixon did not had the mindset to commit to war and allow US military to do its best in Vietnam. Bush was different and allowed US military to do whatever it takes to liberate Kuwait.
Sorry I don’t agree and read why
Having 5,000 tanks and no strategy to go with it doesn’t make it a army or even as you say a battle hardened army
Who rolls an out a highly maneuverable T72 tank without air cover ? And to be fair in 1992 T72 was a decent tank the equivalent of todays T90
Who then even decided to bury a highly maneuverable T72 tank into the sand and use it like a fixed artillery piece ?
Iraqis used the most stupidest and worst tactics of war of any nation before or after them
Allied nations basically went in and had fun
Iraqi army never used any one piece of equipment for which it was designed
Iraq spent millions on a super gun which can’t even more ?
Your comparison is therefore not valid
Ok so those tanks are getting knocked out without explosions
that means it’s Bad design, even worse advertisement for western equipment
If you admitted to it being destroyed by lancet you would above saved yourself some more embarrassment
You missed the news. Ukraine pilots will begin trainings on F16s in September. The first batch of F16s will be delivered next year.Still no F-16/18/22/35?
I was sooo keen so see this Nato-Garbage burning, like all the other stuff. At best with dead Nato pilots, dumb enough to fly against russias multilayered airdef. You only have to look in this forum, all the Nato bots with their big mouths.
