At first thx friends to accept me in your forum, Iam sorry I don't understand arabic, I tried, I searched how to login and finally, I successfully logged into your forum.
As it is an arabic forum, I have problem to find where, and how to post this subject.
I need your help please about information concerning Desert Storm, the first phase of the US-coalition air campaign.
Since 1991, I am trying to find objectives, and relevant informations concerning the subject, however, we find only western view about this air campaign, and the war.
I wish to understand how, and why one of the powerfull, and one of the best trained professional army in the middle east, and in the world collapsed -if it is true ?- during the first days of war.
What is-are- you version(s) ? Could you tell me more please ?
Here is a typical western point of view. It is an academic view about a professional person that could be really honest -Carlo Kopp- :

The great problem of this point of view, it takes people for idiots.
Especially regarding these quotes
And this...This is the oldest trick in the electronic warfare book and the Iraqis fell for it repeatedly, lighting up their radars to engage the would be inbounds, in doing so they provided the monitoring Elint platforms with their positions and the identities of their radars, in turn betraying the composition of their batteries. It is also very likely that the Iraqis indulged in the luxury of live testing and calibration of their radars, further assisting the Allied effort....
I could not imagine professional soliders knowing very well what americans will do, and staying US bombs without doing their possible to avoid it....The Iraqis violated a fundamental principle of electronic combat by lighting up radars outside of actual engagements, and then not moving or reshuffling their assets to invalidate Allied reconnaissance. Were they to have done the proper thing, they would have moved batteries to dummy SAM sites, lit up in the presence of Allied Elint aircraft, and then shifted the batteries to implement a scheme of tactical or strategic deception...
Karlo Kopp is relaying the usual US propaganda depicting arabs as unable to understand, unable to fight, unable to dissipline, unable to be a civilized peoples.
Moreover there is another iraqi asset during this air campaign, it was nammed KARI, I wish to read what you will say about.
For that reason I need your point of views.
Regards.
PS: I know there are many ethnic, and confessional problem in Iraq. About Iraq I know nothing, and near all of what it was said concering this country is often lies, and have political goals. This is not what I am searching, Iam looking for objective point view.
