What made a war that lasted only 43 days actually kill and wound hundreds of thousands of people in a country that claims to be the fourth military power in the world.
Today, I will take you to review the Gulf War and reveal the thrilling war stories of the Gulf War!
On January 9, 1991, diplomatic negotiations between the United States and Iraq broke down completely.
A week later, U.S. forces launched raids on military targets in Iraq.
This was the Gulf War that shocked the whole world in the nineties.
This war is different from those previous battles, and those advanced military weapons have completely refreshed the world's understanding of war.
A Gulf War has made us understand that the war of the new era is an information-based war.
The significance of this is that in today's highly developed informationization situation, whoever can control air supremacy will have the initiative and absolute control over the war.
Today, mechanized warfare has no future, and the reform of the Chinese military is imminent.
After the outbreak of the Gulf War, we saw with our own eyes that the Iraqi army, which used Chinese equipment, was defeated by the US military.
In addition to our shock, our army quickly changed its operational thinking and accelerated the research and development of relevant weapons and equipment.
It was the Gulf War that the United States gave us a vivid lesson in military education.
After the Gulf War, the mainland first reflected and realized from it the huge gap with the United States, and was determined to push military power.
When it comes to modern military reform, our traditional method of advancing mechanized troops has become outdated and has been replaced by three-dimensional operations on land, sea, and air under the conditions of new technologies and high technologies.
This war is different from previous battles, and those advanced military weapons have completely refreshed the world's perception of war.
After the reform and opening up of the mainland, after more than 30 years of unremitting efforts,
The mainland's military strength has also been greatly improved in an unprecedented manner.
When it comes to the Gulf War, in fact, the mainland's military strength at that time was far inferior to Iraq's.
Its military thinking is even more stuck in the World War II period.
Not only that, but the mainland's operational guidelines and military weapons have not been greatly improved.
In this way, the mainland immediately realized that the intelligence and communications of the modern war were almost useless.
Looking back on this history, we should be thankful.
Because after the defeat in Iraq, the United States quickly turned its attention to China, hoping to replicate the success of the Middle East in Asia.
But their plan was aborted, because China saw the tragic situation in Iraq, so it had long been wary of the United States. In fact, we have been quietly developing our military power.
The United States later discovered that China's level of science and technology had long been on par with theirs.
In a way, it was Iraq that allowed China to escape a catastrophe.
If China does not learn from the defeat in Iraq, then the tragedy is likely to repeat itself.
Friends who come in can click on the attention and like, so that they can watch the latest content, let's move on.
As I mentioned earlier, although the unprecedented Gulf War made the United States once again feared by the world, it also prompted the mainland to change the military development strength of our armed forces and to move the mainland toward the road of awakening.
Now when we look at the Gulf War that shocked the world, many friends will say that the Gulf War not only woke up the Chinese army, but also became the beginning of the rebirth of the Chinese army.
Looking back at the Gulf War, the history of the transformation of the Chinese armed forces at that time should not only be admired for the perseverance and courage of Chinese soldiers and scientists, but at the same time, we were able to catch up with the world's most powerful competitors in just a dozen years under the condition that military technology and operational thinking were seriously backward. It is believed that on the road ahead, the Chinese army will also cut through the wind and waves and forge ahead bravely.
At the same time, the Gulf War launched by the United States not only made all countries in the world see clearly the military strength of the United States.
At the same time, we also saw that the former Soviet Union also stood on the side of the United States for the first time and supported the American view, which is a miracle that has never happened since the Cold War, the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union were able to reach an agreement, and many people were unbelievable when the photos of the leaders of the two countries shook hands and embraced.
In fact, this also shows that there are no eternal enemies in this world, and all countries are actually just for their own interests.
When I saw this war, I felt a deep sense of fear.
Because before the Gulf War, the mainland had just ended its conflict with Vietnam, and at that time I thought that the mainland's army could fight.
However, this Gulf War woke up the whole world in an instant, and also made the United States a god in the first war, and the United States completely woke up the Chinese army with an extremely tragic Gulf War.
Therefore, since the Gulf War, the mainland has increasingly strengthened the building of information-based military and has actively reorganized the PLA units into a truly modern combat unit.
However, after the end of the Gulf War, the mainland was left with two questions worth pondering, that is, what would have been the outcome if the US military had been replaced by the mainland army? So what will happen to us if we replace the Iraqi army with a continental army?
The Gulf War, which was suddenly launched by the US military, has indeed taught us a very vivid lesson in local warfare in modern terms.
That is, in today's highly developed informationization era, whoever holds air supremacy will have the initiative and absolute control over the battlefield.
After the Gulf War, Americans' wolf ambitions were gradually exposed.
Through this war, the armies of all countries around the world have realized the importance of three-dimensional warfare.
The Chinese army's past combat concept has been completely subverted, so a journey of rebirth and change has begun!
I am here today to tell you, and at the same time to warn ourselves, that we must not forget the heroes of the past in the era of peace, nor can we forget the group of heroes who are closest to death in this era of peace.
Today's China is no longer what it used to be, and I believe that on the road ahead, the Chinese army will also cut through the wind and waves and forge ahead bravely.
Standing at the crossroads of the development of the times, our nation and country must also withstand more and stronger tests.
Because of their presence, we are able to live safely and happily in this country.
Again, I hope that our motherland's army will become stronger and stronger, not for war, but for the sake of better peace!
