⚔️ The “Left Hook” of 1991: The Maneuver That Crushed Saddam’s Army

????️ In the early hours of February 24, 1991, the deserts of the Middle East became the stage for one of the most brilliant and decisive military maneuvers of the 20th century: the legendary “Left Hook”. ????????⚔️ Led by U.S. General Norman Schwarzkopf, this bold operation marked the beginning of the ground phase of Operation Desert Storm, the coalition counteroffensive to liberate Kuwait from Saddam Hussein’s forces. But what made the Left Hook so effective — and so shocking — was not brute force alone. ???????? It was a masterpiece of deception, coordination, speed, and overwhelming firepower.

???? With over 30 nations united in a powerful coalition, and more than 300,000 U.S. troops on the move, the plan aimed not to attack the Iraqi Army head-on — but to strike them from behind, where they least expected it. ????????️ Tanks, helicopters, elite airborne units, and relentless airstrikes worked in perfect unison to outmaneuver and overwhelm Iraqi forces, leading to the rapid collapse of Saddam’s elite Republican Guard.

????️ In this video, we dive deep into the strategy, the key battles, and the lightning-fast execution of the Left Hook — a move that changed the course of the Gulf War in just 100 hours. If you're passionate about military history, tactics, and modern warfare, you won't want to miss this.
