Abstract

The article "Commentary on the Gulf War" analyzes military operations and the use of new technologies during the conflict. It highlights the effectiveness of high-tech weapons, such as "stealth" systems and guided missiles, which significantly reduced the number of attacking aircraft and associated risks. The media's participation, especially television coverage, was crucial in shaping public perception of the war. The author also discusses the morale of Iraqi troops, which was inferior compared to previous conflicts, and the importance of military planning. Additionally, it mentions the use of civilian contractors for weapon system maintenance, which filled the gap of specialists.
