Every Vehicle Used By Iraq During Desert Storm

Iraq fielded one of the largest and most heavily armored armies in the Middle East during Operation Desert Storm. With over 4,000 tanks and thousands of armored vehicles sourced mainly from the Soviet Union, along with Chinese and Western systems, Iraq entered the 1991 Gulf War confident in its ground forces. Yet in just 100 hours of ground combat, that massive military collapsed. This video breaks down every ground vehicle Iraq deployed during Desert Storm to explain what went wrong and whether the equipment itself failed or if it was the way it was used. From frontline T-72 “Lion of Babylon” main battle tanks to older T-62s, T-55s, and Chinese Type 69 tanks, Iraq’s armored forces were built around Soviet doctrine emphasizing mass, mobility, and combined arms warfare. We examine how these tanks were designed to fight, what they were capable of on paper, and why they performed so poorly against coalition forces equipped with superior air power, sensors, and training. This video also covers Iraq’s infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, including BMP-1s, BMP-2s, MT-LBs, BTR-60s, BTR-50s, and captured American M113s. These vehicles were meant to move infantry under armor and support tank formations, but were often misused in static defensive roles that exposed their weaknesses. We analyze how coalition air dominance turned mobility into a liability and forced Iraqi crews to abandon vehicles without firing a shot. Artillery and air defense systems played a major role in Iraq’s battle plan, and this breakdown explains how systems like the 2S1 Gvozdika, 2S3 Akatsiya, M109 howitzers, BM-21 Grad rocket launchers, ZSU-23-4 Shilka, SA-6 Gainful, and SA-8 Gecko were neutralized before they could influence the ground war. The video shows how electronic warfare, suppression of enemy air defenses, and precision strikes dismantled Iraq’s layered defense network. Rather than portraying Iraqi equipment as obsolete junk, this analysis focuses on reality. Many of these vehicles were capable and dangerous when used correctly. The real story of Desert Storm is how doctrine, leadership, training, logistics, and total loss of air control turned one of the largest armored forces in history into a force that collapsed in days. This video provides a complete, honest, system-by-system examination of Iraq’s ground vehicles during Desert Storm, separating myths from facts and explaining how modern warfare made traditional massed armor obsolete. 📊 IRAQ’S DESERT STORM VEHICLE INVENTORY INCLUDED: ✅ T-72 Lion of Babylon Main Battle Tanks ✅ T-72 Ural, T-62, T-55, and Type 69 Tanks ✅ BMP-1 and BMP-2 Infantry Fighting Vehicles ✅ MT-LB Multi-Purpose Tracked Vehicles ✅ BTR-60 and BTR-50 Armored Personnel Carriers ✅ Captured M113 APCs ✅ 2S1 and 2S3 Self-Propelled Artillery ✅ M109 Howitzers ✅ BM-21 Grad Rocket Launchers ✅ ZSU-23-4 Shilka Air Defense Vehicles ✅ SA-6 and SA-8 Mobile SAM Systems 🔍 KEY QUESTIONS ANSWERED: Why did Iraq’s massive armored force collapse so quickly? Were Iraqi tanks actually inferior to coalition tanks? How important was air superiority in Desert Storm? Did Iraqi vehicles fail, or were they used incorrectly? How did coalition air power destroy Iraqi artillery and logistics? Why were so many Iraqi vehicles abandoned intact? What lessons did Desert Storm teach about modern warfare? Operation Desert Storm proved that modern war is not decided by numbers alone. Iraq’s vehicles were built for Cold War battles that assumed air cover, coordinated maneuvers, and massed assaults. Against a technologically superior enemy with total air dominance, even large and well-armed ground forces can collapse rapidly. This video delivers a clear, factual, and unbiased breakdown of every major Iraqi ground vehicle used during Desert Storm, explaining what each system was designed to do, how it was actually used, and why the outcome was so one-sided. 🔎 RELATED TOPICS: Operation Desert Storm vehicles, Iraqi military equipment 1991, T-72 Lion of Babylon, BMP-1 BMP-2 Iraq, Iraqi tanks Gulf War, coalition air superiority, Soviet weapons in Iraq, Gulf War ground combat, Iraqi armored forces, modern warfare analysis, Cold War military doctrine #desertstorm #gulfwar #iraqiarmy #militaryhistory #t72 #bmps #armoredwarfare #airpower #modernwarfare #militaryanalysis #coldwarweapons #groundcombat #operationdesertstorm 📌 DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.
