Refresh my memory. Did we have predator drones during the Gulf War?
Which Gulf War?
In GWI we were using Pioneer UAVs off the Missouri and Wisconsin. They were the ones that Iraqi soldiers famously surrendered to.
I used to work with a Marine who was with one of the forward observer parties when they went into Kuwait; said they did take a bit of Iraqi artillery fire, but was able to call in some 16” on their batteries with the Pioneer.
The firing stopped.
Yes, we had drones during Desert Storm. Not armed Predators, but surveillance drones.
