Battle of 73 Easting - Greatest Tank Battles



This episode features " 3D Computer Generated Imagery " .
I thought the greatest application is the " GPS "  that navigated the tanks to move in the desert.



The last great tank battle of the 20th century.

Greatest Battle Tank.

Mission : Exile the Iraq Army out of Kuwait.



The Iraq didn't believe that the Coalition moved in the west.  There is no terrain feature, no road... It is impossible to maneuver out there.

It is the first " GPS "  war.
Satellites technologies enable the Coalition cross the Iraq defensible line.

Setting the stage from the unpredicted flank.





T-72

BMP-1.  From Wikipedia: Soviet amphibious infantry fighting vehicle.

M-3 Bradley



Thermal Imaging System

Control by soldiers with Anti-Tank and Rocket Propellant Grenade.

















Iraq didn't realize how quick American were closing up ~

Due to the desert storm, M3-Bradley got lost and entered the platoon of Iraq.
