Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The Gulf War, which took place between 1990 and 1991, marked a significant moment in the use of air power in armed conflicts. Following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, an international coalition led by the United States mobilized substantial forces, resulting in a decisive air campaign. The article analyzes the key factors that contributed to the conflict's outcome, emphasizing the importance of technological superiority and coordination among allied forces. Additionally, it discusses the lessons learned, such as the need for a clear division of responsibilities among armed forces and the effectiveness of air power in military operations. The study concludes that the Gulf War redefined strategic and operational concepts, establishing a new paradigm for future conflicts.
