Are these your videos? My cousin was down there that time I believe
And to think this imagine this is late 80’s technology. Zooming in to see the front windshield at 2,250 meters. How well must they able to see now? A lot has changed tech wise since late 80’s. I can only imagine. 🤔
All in 4K now lol
Not only that but the fact the video would look like high definition it looks this bad because of UA-cam and decompression
@@gamingclipz7309 Yeah I’d imagine what the gunner sees would be much better. Analog black and white NTSC can look pretty good in person, VHS recordings are just poor quality. This is a capture of probably a 2nd or 3rd generation VHS copy.
Well, back then in the A Model it was really just plain bad. Much improved now in the E Model cockpit.
@@gamingclipz7309 The video is definitely much better than the one released. Particularly to hide a nation's full capability. The quality of the actual device is most likely better than reflected here not because of YT compression, but intentionally downgraded.
this is like watching interpretive art that you can just barely perceive as reality and then you see something you can definitely recognize and suddenly have that " _ooooh_ that's what that is" moment
Yes, when bodies atomize in a red mist, I too have that feeling
I've been watching gun cam videos stoned for like 3 hours, and this is the most accurate description I could ever think of.

Well with a lot of people don't realize is that the Iraqi Army in 1991 was actually a battle-hardened army that you'd been through the war with Iran and it was also the fourth largest military in the world at the time. We destroyed that Army in 100 hours

i like how they just call each other by name instead of their callsigns. You can tell they are a tight knit group.
Helicopters get call signs, the crews do not. Some call signs in the army are long so if you want to be fast, just use names.
That's correct Jon
Same in all military aviation... nobody calls each other by their personal call signs like in the movies.
Our National Guard unit(1454th Trans Co) out of Concord,NC followed the the 24th I.D. through the desert that first night of the ground War,carrying 100 tractor trailer loads of Ammo and 10,000 body bags..
We never offloaded a single trailer and transported 100 trailer loads back south to Logbase Charlie..

Wish there was a way to make the largest ballistics gel block just to get a better picture of the damage these rounds make.

Scary stuff!... I can't imagine being in that truck that was shot up! 🤔
Yaaaaay APACHE!!! While I wouldn't have wanted to be infantry or even armor during Desert Storm I think being an Apache pilot would've been JUICY!
How to identify enemy if friendly is capturing enemy vehicle or using enemy vehicle?
Beautiful shooting...but Whoo!!! Thats some artillery gun on the back ???
Listening to the radio traffic, the pilots are a lot more conversational than how they operated in the GWOT. The GWOT pilots are a lot more short, concise, and to the point
These guys probably expected to be dealing with Soviet armored divisions crossing the Fulda gap. This was just a vacation for them.
Not my experience, but it could be a situational thing. This video is basically an air assault with Attack ships only. They're good at that and love what they're doing. When they're talking to you during a CCA with friendly troops in a TIC, everyone on the net is keeping it short and terse. Because that situation is a LOT more tense!
@@Korporaal1 valid point. They only have to deal with themselves and not infantrymen in a TIC
Intercom traffic.
@@Korporaal1 For you non-military: CCA = Close Combat Attack (helicopter), and TIC = Target Information Center (troops directing fire)
Tactics have changed since the 90's these fellas were sitting ducks and still hammered the shit. Respect!
Nah it would still be the same today... You think the Ukrainians have been destroying all those s300 & s400 on their very own the last couple years..? DOD has their issues but SEAD isn't one of them
@@208flatheads3 No country is going to send their ground support attack choppers into an area protected by a complex surface to air threat. I'm talking about ground attack tactics like gulf war they fire on shit from a stationary position fast forward 2003 they are flying orbits doing race track patterns with a wing man turning inbound covering each others break etc.....
@@BestPlconEarth50 in Kosovo war they grounded the Apaches because they were afraid of being taken down by Yugoslav MANPADS. So nowadays, with the proliferation of drones, sensors, and so on... I think that they're developing very long range missiles for stand off strikes, this could be the only way for attack helicopters in future wars it seems.
@@nosleN105 Your comment i believe is spot on i don't see a way to safely operate anything with kamikaze drones all that's needed is a blade strike with a bomb. Very interesting stuff.
CPG super skilled to be able to compensate the 30 like that
So much stepping on each other's radio traffic I'm kinda surprised anyone was able to act on the info being given to them.
I was thinking the same. They change from sounding formal/official to casual chat as they exchange info and fire ordinance.
When you are in the aircraft it’s much easier to differentiate the various radios since you adjust the volumes and they also just sound different to the trained ear. It’s less chaotic in real life than the tapes may indicate.
@@ApacheRanch All true Apache. Overlapping commo from different radios. The FACs in Vietnam would often have 4 radios going. How they kept up is beyond me. Birdogs & Broncos mainly then they went to call sign Misty or Fast FACs F-100 Super Sabres (over North Vietnam) because the Birds were getting shot down a lot. A funny patch I saw was "We FAC Anything!"
The pilots and gunners can differentiate aircraft comms due to experience using multiple radio frequencies. Additionally, and apart from the multiple frequencies, the pilot and gunner are coordinating with each other. It may sound chaotic at times (And it can be) but, with experience it’s manageable. You have to be there to understand.
@@LA-ep2nr Thanks LA. I imagine it's like everything in life. Do it enough then wonder why you ever thought it was difficult.
Bad ass !

This brings such pride and rest deeply with me, as my wife worked at Hughes Helicopters on the development & manufacture of the AH64, LHX, NoTar.... but the AH64 rest very deeply with her as we were really applying (giving) our personnel an incredible ability to effectively/safely deal with some "Very Bad People" in ways the world could not believe or comprehend was possible. The engineers, machinist, draftsmen, scientist including those at Hughes Aircraft Company & Hughes Research Labs provided countless scientific breakthroughs that allowed "Lab Research" to be effectively transitioned into the "Real World" including a vast avionics systems (HID, Laser, Look Down/Shoot Down, and "protection systems", etc.). Although we have never wished harm come to anyone, it surely allowed us to mitigate horrendous threats and gave our personnel every possible chance to return home to their families who were called to employ for our protection.
I was with the 24th ID back in Germany and in Kansas. Glad they did a great job when they had to during that battle.
24th is ft Stewart GA
Rusty, prior to the gulf these units were in place for very long periods. Relocating entire divisions places a huge burden on all involved including dependants which is why musical divisions just wasn't done. Wasting taxpayers money bouncing around like that, a lot of it. And thanks for your suggestion that I Google it. You must have been in military intelligence
I think Joe was referring to the Apache attack battalion affiliated with 24th ID. That aviation unit was based out of Hunter AAF in Savannah, Georgia. You are both right.
@@ApacheRanch I was referring to the 24th ID from ft Stewart. Their home was there for a long time. Pre gulf. We went to Egypt in 89 to field test for shield/storm with the entire division. Musical bases wasn't a thing then

2:43 is that the drop distance measurement thingy for the rockets?
Yes. You line up that floating I-bar with the cross hairs on the target by orienting the aircraft as needed (ie move the nose of the aircraft to line it all up). The rocket pylons will articulate up/down as needed for distance.
@@ApacheRanch Is there a horizontal one used to account for estimated winds in the target (or firing) area? Or do you just eyeball that or hope for the best?
The aircraft fire control computer is accounting for wind/aircraft movement/type of rocket/rotation of the earth (seriously)/etc and setting that I-Bar in the right place.
