Operation Desert Storm (Jan/Feb 1991) consisted largely of "Smart Weapons". Instead of 100 conventional bombs aimed at a target, hoping one or two will strike the target, ONE "smart weapon" could hit with 98% accuracy. Night vision devices were available for ground, air and sea-borne troops; prior to Desert Storm, "white light" was used (normal search lights). Although Kevlar helmets had been used during Operation Urgent Fury (Grenada-1983), the Kevlar helmets used by ground troops in Desert Storm were the latest in protective armor, with DESERT CAMOFLAGE UNIFORMS.

∙ 12y agoThe Persian Gulf War was fought with clubs, spears, and arrowheads. The technology was very advanced for the time period in which the war was fought (1990 - 1991) The Iraqis were considered a very advanced civilization for their use of bows and arrows in this war. Needless to say these weapons did not stack up against the modern technology of other countries and Iraq was forced to surrender in 1991.

∙ 14y agoNations within the Persian Gulf region use purchased equipment: Mostly Communist Chinese tanks, personnel carriers; and Soviet hardware. CHICOM Type 59 medium tanks look indentical to Soviet T54/T55 tanks...but were cheaper to produce, and more affordable for nations to buy; these tanks were heavily exported to nations in the 1970's & 1980's.
