Operation Iraqi Freedom - The Air War, Day 1 - Animated

Another fine video program. Excellent animation, superb narrative info. Well done.

Thanks 🤙

That had my full name in the video Dg

Dudes flying over ENEMY airspace and calling it recreational! These men and equipment are farrrr superior than anyone can imagine

YouPube could ruin a wet dream. What do they care, they're a billion dollar company and dont like to share.

Demonotizing history smh

I condone imagine being in the Iraqi military on this night. Just the amount of reports of strikes coming in, the dismantling of C&C and the gear that your position could be next all while knowing you are pretty much powerless to respond. Screw that.

As a Brit, salute to our pilots and C&C and ground crews of the RAF, which my father took part 07 fantastic display by the Tornado Squadrons.

Idk about anyone else, but I’m glad I didn’t join the air force to have to fly 18 hours for one airstrike.

Ahh Operation Iraqi Freedom. The war that the West made up lies to illegally invade a land and then created a state we can never leave and will forever produce people that want to kill us in the West all under the guise of forcing democracy on the world.

Ahh OIF, we won the battle but lost the war. Well done America and Britain for making the West less safe for us all.

Zionist Cowards Getting the U.S GOVERNMENT TOO DO IT DIRTY WORK WAKE UP AMERICA Smell the s*** they've been troubling you😅😅😅😅

And in the end it all amounted to absolutely nothing

Family member was in the 335th and flying on this day, escorting Lancers. Supposedly this portion of the squadron was loaded with 100% air-to-air, but all their potential targets were under the sand somewhere.
Apropos of nothing, the reddish areas around bodies of water look like infected wounds, especially against the light-flesh-colored background of desert.

The wildest thing about this, is that in terms of military scale, this was a relatively small operation for what we could have employed.
1 carrier group, a couple dozen fighters and stealth aircraft, and then 50 or so strategic bombers…. Imagine if we had moved 3-4 of our carrier groups and multiple fighter wings accompanied by a few divisions of infantry and armor💀

Your video has over a million views, I don’t understand the point of crying for 5minutes at the beginning of the video. This type of begging has become typical to channels like this. Pathetic

Can you please do the story in "Black Hawk Down" its a real story and i want to see the overall battle and not just from the soldiers perspectives

Iraqi freedom = genocide of innocents

Brilliant show

Thanks!

My dad served in Operation Iraqi freedom🫡

I have always been a big history nerd, so I just wanted to say thank you for providing all the content and going so in depth with information. Very cool to see, I am addicted to these videos! LOL

American dollar is not backed by anything, meanwhile US airforce throwing so much payload that no one can even comprehend

Why can we see who donated and who didn’t? I don’t like seeing that. There is no need to show that info google shame on you. It’s irritating

Love the videos, keep em coming! Great job guys, big fan from Brazil

Big fan of the way this is presented. Really informative and no-nonsense, the added testimony of pilots is a really nice touch. Great use of historic comparison to desert storm. Keep it up boss!

Nice!

I still get recommended your long-form content

Crazy that we were at war with Iraq for 2 false reasons… 1) weapons of mass destructions, 2) attacks on 9/11.
There were no weapons of mass destruction and Saudi Arabia orchestrated 9/11… small price to pay for them oil fields…

I hate patreon

What about 101st

Not sure why but often when you say Iraq it sounds like Iran. Maybe pronounce the Q (K) more?

is that video from the radio intercept officer still around

I was over there. I still can't believe they got away with what they said about WMD they had some really old stuff but they weren't making new stuff or anything. The only thing Saddam and his sons were guilty of is being complete psychopaths and capable of doing anything to people that you could imagine. This whole thing was based on a lie. The amount of money imade "rebuilding Iraq" is crazy

Fun time

I respect the effort and dedication that goes into these videos but please hire someone to do the VO. The monotone reading from a script is painful to listen to for 30mins. Considering the amount of effort that goes into these videos why stop at the last hurdle. A professional VO would improve this greatly.

"Theeeey're Baaaaaack!"

Wish I had found this channel sooner!

Can't try this with Russia or China
