My mon was activated for the gulf war. She never went over seas. They just put her in a military hospital in the States. That is how she meat my dad. If it were not for Saddam Hussein... I would not be here.
M9s were still pretty new at that point so they didn't make to all the units that deployed. Some soldiers got stuck with old and busted M1911s according to some old timers that were part of O:DS.
Because the Soviets dumped their old shit in 3rd worlders.
And saddam liked having a big army so more tanks the better even if they're from the Jurassic period.
ruined a whole generation of american military who think they know what their doing when all they know how to do is kill goat herder with shit that's practically magic compared to what the goat herder have
It's literally served in every single war since the first hawkish proto-humans decided "fuck that other tribe" and went and killed everyone and raped all the women.
It did some pretty sick shore bombardment with the live feed spotting from the drones it launched. Fucking love seeing the pickup fly 200 yards into the air
Battleships were the pioneers of the method. Don't care what those homosexual Burke captains with their yearly losses to cargo ships think, Iowa at her peak with her targeting drones would still wreck their little tin boats in an exchange.
it's always been lulzy to me that Iraq got its shit rolled up twice in the span of a little more than a decade by the world's largest military under president Bush sr/jr
There can not have been a battle where the Iowa class was the oldest piece of military equipment.
And that is because in every war that involves the US since WW2, they have used the M2 Browning.
How is a rubik's cube a weapon?
idgi no cap wdym
>drop on battlefield
>enemy soldiers get stun-locked trying to solve em
just looked at the picture again WTF is that thing lmao

rubik's condom?
I thought I was being rused
You cannot fight the boss ship until you solve the riddle! Jeez anon have you even played an RPG before!?
my dick
M1911, duh.
i thought it was m9 at that point?
Fair number of 1911s still in service with activated Guard units in that time period.

>That is how she meat my dad
I think you've got that backwards
HEYOOOOOO
Don't judge shitlord. Anon and zer parents are beautifully special too.

Fuck off with your newfag guns. The Iraqis used nuggets.
There where a few ww2 tanks still in use by the Iraqis, a Churchil tank, a few shermans and a Panzer 4.
A bunch of T-34s too.
wtf... why....
Because the Soviets dumped their old shit in 3rd worlders.

Good enough for all their regional foes & damn good enough to project power internally. to an unarmed goatherder, a tank is a tank.
true no cap
yep, it's basically the stone age over there.
ruined a whole generation of american military who think they know what their doing when all they know how to do is kill goat herder with shit that's practically magic compared to what the goat herder have
The Chieftan tank is pretty old senpai
Lots of US tankers had M3 submachine guns as PDWs.
The M2 Browning was probably the oldest
true
The Mk1 eyeball literally predates human civilization
not military equipment
It's at least dual-use.
It's listed under "sensors", clearly military equipment
It's literally served in every single war since the first hawkish proto-humans decided "fuck that other tribe" and went and killed everyone and raped all the women.
were iowas 16 inch guns actually useful in the gulf?
>Killed Iraqis
Vs.
>Didn't kill Iraqis
Your call.
They got some cool pictures of it shooting the guns.
It did some pretty sick shore bombardment with the live feed spotting from the drones it launched. Fucking love seeing the pickup fly 200 yards into the air
> drone spotted artillery
I thought that was a new thing lol
Iraqis surrendered to a drone.
No, its been a thing since the 80s on the Iowas. Before that they used floatplanes.
Battleships were the pioneers of the method. Don't care what those homosexual Burke captains with their yearly losses to cargo ships think, Iowa at her peak with her targeting drones would still wreck their little tin boats in an exchange.
The USAF had remote-operated recon/strike drones with TV cameras at least as far back as 1972.
Basically, the distant forerunner of an MQ-9 Reaper armed with Hellfire missiles
Take me back
>this video posted in 2007 is now closer to Desert Storm than we are to to 2007.

I admire the crew'S ability to stay proffesional and operate while they all must have GIANT FUCKING ERECTIONS
>catching the drone in a net
neat
Seeing that truck get sent to orbit definitely made me erect!
If nothing else, they were a hell of a lot cheaper than spamming Tomahawks non-stop.
My dad was XO of that big beautiful girl. They put her in mothballs again like 6 years later.
Way to dox yourself, son of the XO of the USS New Jersey circa 1985-anon.
Bofors 40mm gun mounts scavenged from museums and placed on ships for air defence.
And other small arms, including .50 cal M2 machine guns, 1911s, Hi-Powers, etc.
Pretty sure some M3s were still in service as armor crewmember PDWs as well.
Best thing GM ever made
ferret with a bren gun in the gulf war
it was the last war where the bren was in service with the british army
It's about the size of a Wiesel, quite ironic.
There can not have been a battle where the Iowa class was the oldest piece of military equipment.
And that is because in every war that involves the US since WW2, they have used the M2 Browning.
Basic mortars predate the M2. Bayonets predate mortars. Both techs used then.
this ship gets my cock so hard. Same with the M1 browning. Finest pieces of equipment ever designed.
1911 is older than M2 (1918)
did they use the u2 in the gulf 1 or 2?
The M2 Browning, maybe.
i gotta think it was the m2 .50 cal machine gun
