Operation Iraqi Freedom - Coalition vs Iraq Military Power Comparison

You forgot about the australian weapons and vehicles

really?!?!??! you too can develop weapons if you use brilliant. fuck off. tasteless.

LAV stands for light armored vehicle not light assault vehicle. At that time they were used in light armored reconnaissance battalions .

Speaking of US Marines using outdated tech, I have a buddy who was a Marine from 93 to 2000, and he was issued Alice packs from Vietnam that were still stamped with U.S. Army

Get the title right OPERATION AMERICAN UNPROVOKED AGGRESSION. Everything else is cover for the murder of Iraquis

Disagree with the storm shadow. The Russians learn how to shoot them down. And those ships weren't being used. Also, the Russians always repair the supple lines too.

"operation Iraqi freedom"? I think you mean Operation U.S. oil grab , the WMDs were a lie and since Saddam was deposed terrorism has spread like wild fire.

Thank you for this video. I really appreciate it.

UK and US illegal invasion and occupation of yet another sovereign country.

Who would have realised ammo with parts from the PRC would fail,apart from me?

He didn't mention the name of the Iraqi standard issue mustache.😂

I really like your documentary work, though this time i found the old picture/movie effect on the entire video distracting, on some of the older pictures i liked it, just not the entire video, Keep up the good video's, i hope to enjoy many more

Excellent video

And you lost. Ha! 😂

they should named it (Iraqi Oil)

What is with the mouse cursor quickly bouncing around the screen the whole video?
Great video either way!

Opinions seem to vary greatly on whether the bradley was an "excellent design"...

You forgot to mention Sadam's weapons of mass destruction
Just kidding

It’s really surprising given decades of economic development, education and the internet allowing all human knowledge that other countries technology still hasn’t caught up. There’s no reason an oil rich country like Iraq shouldn’t have been able to go buy modern weapons or have their own defence industry.

I don’t buy this rubbish about China being a grand threat to the West. I think it would be a one sided fight and the US main concern would be maintaining public support for what would become an extremely violent war that would be carried into China itself. There’s nothing to suggest Western militaries are in decline which for Rome and Britain you could have pointed to.

Not featured in this video: WMDs

Were the Iraqis even aware how more advanced the coalition forces were?

I love that the Fedayeen wore darth vader helmets because Uday loved Star Wars.

Fuck these videos are so good

Operation NATO Warcrime.

the sa80 is flippin awful..

You have this force that won't retreat under most circumstances. What do you do?

You don't train it.

I do question this narrative, though. Other fanatically loyal forces in history were almost as liable to retreat as their regular counterparts.

I'm not saying this isn't true. I'm saying I need to look it up.

all those military grade weapons you talked about should be restricted to military use only and should not be available to the general public.

The one addition I felt should have been added is not only the length of basic training but the quality of training after as well. Basic training is just what it is, the basics and its once you get to your unit you learn more advanced methods and operations. In unit training at a brigade level and with combined arms is really what seperates nato from others.

Absolutely love comparisons like this!! More please!!! Great job!

Why is the video full of quickly moving mouse cursor ?

Wake up bro new 2015 military power edit just dropped

We know this war was a lie😅

Challenger II is the greatest tank made to date, mostly for the integrated tea set.

The BMP and BTR were never state of the art.

The M113 APC was also designed in the 1950s and is still in service today. A box is still a box even 70 years later.

Although it's original and primary intended purpose was anti-tank it's worth pointing out that most versions of Hellfire, those which are laser guided, are really 'anti everything' since they will track whatever the laser is pointing at, and have been frequently used to engage infantry as well as buildings, perhaps even more so than tanks

Weapons of mass destruction that didn’t exist and over a million murdered civilians!! Fkn disgusting western terrorists

The Iraq war was organized by dual American-Israeli citizens. America did not benefit at all from this war. Israel did.

This was another in a long list of zionist wars.

Thank you for your breakdown of the airframes. I served in OIF in 2005 and 2007, and got to ride on every Marine helicopter sans the Apache since I wasn't a helo pilot. My favorite was the Osprey, that was my last ride. It's like a roller coaster without a track, when it switches to winged mode, you drop. Stomach into the throat moment. It's so cool. The Huey was my second favorite, it's nimble and does it's job well. Also, their pilots are just the right amount of crazy.

The V-22 Osprey even today is a death trap. USMC 88-92, but that's just my opinion.

here we go!

Pretty sure the AK-47 was never mass produced. The AKM absolutely was, which is the most common firearm found in the middle east. I could be wrong, though.

Interesting time to drop this vid, considering recent developments
