Alright, listen up! I’m sure you’ve heard the news by now, but Saddam Hussein over in Iraq has invaded Kuwait, and the US is leading a coalition to get them out. About 35 nations are getting involved, and it doesn’t seem like the Iraqis are going to be able to stand up to what is crashing down on them.

  • Fun fact the villainous character Liquid Snake from Metal Gear Solid supposedly was a part of the SAS squad hunting scuds before he was captured and tortured by the Iraqis. He eventually escaped and was recruited into the American Foxhound organization before they went rogue thus setting off the events of Metal Gear Solid 1.

    Glad I'm not the only one who got reminded about Conflict: Desert Storm game from this
  • @someguy3766
    Conflict: Desert Storm was such a fun game when I was a kid. This really takes me back.

    I saw one of Saddam's SCUDs at the American Heritage Museum in my home state in Hudson, MA. It's a massive cruise missile that was captured by the U.S. military when we invaded Iraq in 2003. It's now on display for all to see.
  • @SirHellNaja
    I feel like Scud hunting missions were mandatory for early 2000's FPS games Arma CWA(OFP:CWC), Counter Strike CZ:DS, and several more
  • @ManuTheDorK
    This video screams Conflict Desert Storm all over. Good times ❤️
  • @rosaria8384
    Apparently Black Ops 6 features a mission regarding this exact scenario in the Gulf War, and from the SAS perspective. Always interesting to learn the real deal
  • @Newdivide
    3:06 This scene was in fact based on a Scud missile attack on a barracks in Saudi Arabia. It led to the deaths of 28 personnel
  • Lol that CoD reference for the video thumbnail got me laughing pretty good
  • Bravo Two Zero, Andy McNab was an SAS operator that took part in hunting scud missiles
  • @dman9238
    Conflict: Desert Storm video game nostalgia😌
  • @Nerfhalo1
    The best thing I learned about the original SA80's is that its existance allowed the SAS to use M16's. Nothing against the updated A2 patterns, bur the original A1's: 😱
