for those in the military, why wasn't this shown to the public at the time?

Question

it 's an air raid by the u.s.a.f on bagdad in the first gulf war, the pilots come under iraqi sam attack, my guess (and i'm allways right, considering my military knowldge) was the sam's fired were soviet buk m1 anti aircraft missiles. but a good link to prove no airforce is the best or better then any airforce,specialy when against new generation of sam's.

Answer 1

excellent question and link, first it proves that u.s and it's allies lie's a lot more then their public think, and this video proves u.s pilots are scared when they come up against sophisitcated sam's, so no one's invincible, but i still reckon the tor m1 short range sam are the best, iran are haveing them deployed to portect thier oil supplies form nazi colonial fascists which iraq didn't have the time to do as it was recovering from sanctions imposed by the u.s and also from the war with iran. but a great link. thanks

Answer 2

The group in the video the "Lucky Devils" delivered over 3.7 million pounds of ordinance flew over 1400 sortes in the first 42 days of the Gulf War. They had over 1100 SAMs fired at them and had 2 planes shot down. Yep, those Russian missles are the bomb. HAHAHAHA!! NOT! AND if you are always right. Why have you answered 30 questions and only have 9 best answers? And 5 of those are from the same guy and the rest from your friends. Your credibility stinks. Your military knowledge is gastly at best. Your friends or other IDs are almost as good as you. Keep up the good work. We love to read your questions and answers. Great comedy relief for deployed Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines.

Military knowledge? With questions like:
If your short sighted would you be able to make it as a sniper?
I m want to become a military intelligence officer, where do i start to train in the real army?
What was mig alley in the korean war and why was it called that?

Yes you are a wealth of knowledge.

Answer 3

Well I am not going to bash you for your Military Knowledge (or Lack thereof) What I am going to do though is thank you for the link to an Awesome video showing what an American Pilot can do !!! If I was that Pilot I would have had to apologize to my crew chief for messing up the interior of the Aircraft, and then go and buy me a new uniform. Cause I would have said it first and then done it !!!

Glad I stayed on the Ground.

Answer 4

Your first mistake is believing everything you see, hear,and read on T.V., The Web, Newspapers, Radio,etc....If you didn't see it with your own eyes and was there in the flesh and blood-you'll never know the true story and I don't care who is doing the reporting. Everyone sees things in a different way. And...if you were there in the flesh and blood, you'll be told what you saw by your commanding officers. That's a fact. Am I to assume you get your military knowledge from the web? Sounds like it. (Hmmmm..another wanna be)

Answer 5

Your military knowledge? Then why would you have to ask the question of "what is MIG alley" during the Korean War. Any person with a basic knowledge of the military and it's history would know that.

You have ZERO credibility to those of us with military knowledge and military experience.

Answer 6

The public has NO right to 99 percent of the information LEAKED to it on military operations.
