The Gulf War awakened the world. Now which countries have reached the level of the US military? The answer is beyond imagination

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the U.S. dominance position became more stable. Although the strength of Russia, which came from behind, has always been regarded as a thorn in the eye of the United States, in fact, Russia’s military strength is more than enough, and the gap with the U.S. military is not one and a half. The U.S. military is still richer than today’s mid-level countries’ weapons. It can be seen that the war situation at the time was very clear. What's more, the U.S. united with other countries to resist Iraq, which made Iraq uncomfortable in a short period of time. Therefore, the Gulf War was also known as the Gulf War. The starting point of the modern war.

In the Gulf War, in order to gain more benefits, Iraq actively invaded Kuwait, which is known for its wealth. It wanted to transform the latter into its own territory and in a short time to make the powerless Kuwaiti party surrender, but Saddam did not realize it. So far, this move is undoubtedly a provocation to the world's military powers.

The U.S. military, which learned of Iraq’s intentions, assembled 430,000 troops in just 42 days and launched a fierce attack on the invading Iraqi army headed by Saddam. It was not only large in scale, but also unprecedented in the delivery of weapons and equipment. It used a total of More than 2,000 tanks, more than 3,000 armored vehicles, more than 1,000 aircraft, and more than 200 warships were dispatched overseas, and even joined forces with multiple countries to send troops, making the Iraqi army, whose invasion behavior was not justified, even more frightened and swift. Disintegrated in a short time, and finally achieved the greatest victory with the least casualties.

At that time, the US military strength has reached the point where it can easily obtain the initiative on the battlefield. Now it is pursuing a global strategy. No matter where the world starts a war, it can send a large number of troops and advanced weapons and equipment in a short time to fight the Gulf War. Compared with the level of China, the level of weapons development in many countries is still not worth mentioning compared with the United States. The military transportation capabilities alone prohibit many countries.

All in all, even countries with relatively strong military power in the world today still have a long way to go to catch up with the United States. However, as the United States’ international status has declined in recent years, more and more countries will not fear American power in the future. Stand on your own among the nations of the world.
