🇺🇸 Operation Desert Storm (1991) – The Gulf War Air Campaign: 100,000 Sorties & Stealth Revolution During the Gulf War’s air campaign, coalition forces flew over 100,000 sorties, dominating the skies over Iraq and Kuwait. The conflict marked the combat debut of the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, which flew 1,200 missions undetected — striking high-value targets with precision and paving the way for modern stealth warfare. #GulfWar #OperationDesertStorm #F117Nighthawk #StealthTechnology #USAF

Many Canadians remember watching the Gulf War unfold live on television. In winter 1991, that meant daily coverage of Operation Desert Storm – the massive military offensive against Iraqi forces. Canada contributed 24 CF-18 Hornets to the air campaign. These impressive aircraft are still a key part of the Royal Canadian Air Force fleet, with great power, speed and target-tracking capabilities. #CanadaRemembers | Canada Remembers
