SCUD Attacks Riyadh Saudi Arabia 1991 

Yep, duct tape applications in the shape of an asterisk. I do remember that :)

Same here.. I remember being woken up out of bed with the sirens (for the first few days) and having to run into my parents room to put on my gas mask whilst my father duct taped the door we just walked through.. try to prevent ingress of any gas. They stopped the sirens in our compound because the local people living outside our compounds didnt have gas masks and it terrified them... I still have the gas mask.. bloody scary stuff.. can't believe my parents didn't have us evacuated sooner...

it’s not over yet! get ready for the iranian missiles!

My grandfather worked there, when the war started, i was surprised he wasn't that scared.

Also there during this time as an 8 yr old. Interesting memories indeed.

Not a missile, it's a ballistic missile, away more powerful with 500kg warhead

@محمد الغامدي yeahhhh what about your great air defence failing miserable? You guys are worst than Syrian air de fence guys! Worst!

@@jadalomer1295 nahhhh, syrian air defenses are old, some of them, but they are making a really good job against Israel and nato missiles! I just don't understand why putin dont let the Syrians use s300!

the gulf war is from Iraqi in 1991 they launched missiles to them IDK why but people started to evacuate they wear gas masks because of the radiation after the radiation stopped everyone is safe

@@nuclearsulaimanplayz42069 gas masks do not protect against radiation but from toxic or harmful gases. radiation hits us all the time, but usually that radiation (from the sun) is non-harmful. Radiation from a missile however can go right through normal clothing, skin, bone, and can kill you.

@@417Owsy so is there such thing as radiation proof clothing

@@417Owsy it’s also bcuz of the oil rigs that were hit

@@nuclearsulaimanplayz42069 They launched the scuds at Israel to provoke Israel joining the war against Iraq, weakening the Coalition forces sixd majority of them are arab and hates Israel. That did not happen though

Imagine a tornado warning happening at 3 am. It will be as spooky as heck.

@@superbrownsheep3777 man tornado warnings at 3 am can catch these hands doe

If you where a Saudi citizen you will always here it cuz it was played in 1991 due to the 2nd Gulf war

@@superbrownsheep3777 it was a missile attack warning from iraq and from the gulf war

@@Sxcpo I clearly know you don’t have to tell me

Thank you bro I’m Saudi 2016 legend

Thank you 😊 ❤

Thanks😊

@محمد الغامدي ok we get it

Okay so *scud is my favorite*

@محمد الغامدي Thank you for that nice fact!

Yeah Same

Thank-you for the reply. I too was in the Dhahran area with the Army and downrange from the local Patriot battery - I was with the 11th Signal Brigade (this tape was given to me by members of our unit who had been working in Riyadh). There were a great many SCUD attacks in the port area too. Like yourself I have many notable and lasting memories of these events: the civil defense sirens, the clang of the chemical attack bell our unit set up and rang during some of the early SCUD attacks (we actually had a fair number of chemical alarms go off at various times, but were never confirmed by secondary tests), the momentary panic and fear I witnessed in otherwise strong brave soldiers, local police slowly rolling through civilian neighborhoods making announcements/issuing warnings over an intercom in the middle of the night (all while the civil defense sirens wale - I often wondered how frightened the civilians must have been while all this was happening). The hardest memory was being jarred awake, I had overslept the start of my night shift, by the SCUD that impacted within 5km of our unit and killed 27 soldiers in the 475th Quartermaster Group - the typical Patriot/Scud flyby or intercept resulted in a boom that would shake a building from the top - this impact rocked the building from ground. Fwiw, I do not know of anyone making recordings of the SCUD attacks in the Dhahran area.

William Bowen I too was with the 67th Sig Bn. The night the 475th QM got hit I was on guard duty in a tower above the motor pool. The whole thing scared the shit out of me; from the patriot launch to the intercept to the warhead impact. It lit up up real red and the shock wave was massive. After seeing that I just slept through the sirens and avoided the bunkers, if we got hit my mask wasn't going to help much.

Was that the tower in the back corner - built onto the building? The one where you had to walk across the floor boards that felt like they were about to break through at any moment to reach the position? Or was it the stand alone tower?

Was there an alarm????

@@bmghjdful Not always. Many times I would be asleep at 2-4 am and we would be woken up by the Patriots behind us launching or the Scuds being hit over top of us (Port of Dammam, across the bay from Riyadh). Since then I haven't gotten restful sleep and take prescription sleep meds to sleep at all.

What about 0:10?

Its fun fact saudi arabia has patriot misslile

When the missle landed emp will be launced no calll no signal of tv

Creepy...

@The Alpha Pill oh

@@warofmeow Saudi brong it on themselfs, instead of supporting saddam they turned on him

Saddam was s butcher, he invaded Kuwait and used chemical weapons on his own population. Not supporting that terrorist dictator does not justify killing civilians deliberately.

@@Niiidil The sounds, they all have their own sound

yeah, so many people said it sounded similar to the swedish sirens, tho we still don't know if it was Saudi made or imported from Sweden. but truly the most terrifying alarm on earth

Apparently Thunderbolt sirens were used in Saudi Arabi during this time along with a possible 2001 siren

@@superbrownsheep3777 The Thunderbolt System 7000 sirens were in Kuwait, not in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia purchased mostly ACA sirens (and they never paid for them, which bankrupted ACA)

It must have givien you the willies when they wailed off, especially when it's at night time.

Yup I remember these days and dam if it didn't impact us

@@mishvlogs2056 the tv said dont panic i mean my dad wasnt panicing before

Which siren did you hear the screaming one or the loud one

@@aliciadowney9675 both are frightened 😵‍💫 but the loud is more

I think I also hear horns?

Also I believe Saudi Arabia had somr ACA sirens at the time because aca was one of their suppliers through the late 70s to early 90s

So Saudi Arabia’s EAS is a Wail Alert

They used analog whelens not sure what sirens they were but they also did air horn. My guess was they are Analog Whelen WPS-2750s, also I can hear one pulsing that could be the EOWS 1212 in dammam seaport

@@jadalomer1295 it's just wail/attack with the ACA cyclones and the Hormann speaker sirens but there's horns too

You're welcome. Be well.

Then why did you think that your father died

yep i was 7 and i remember we had to turn the lights off for some reason , if you notice in the end of the video there are not lights in the room , only the tv

How Did You Type In Titled Letters? Lol

@@DAJTheRU-vidr_2007 youll need _ for that... For example...: __american samoa__

Of course it’s low quality it was 1991

_oh_

_what the fuck_

To those calling this attack fake, it is sad, im sorry, this attack for most civillians living in saudi arabia at the time, were woken up by a sudden loud alarm and red screen on their tvs, most kids would stare at the screen, not knowing anything about war or attacks, but when it got scary, kids would call their parents out of bed, many were scared with the red screen that was stuck in thier brain, siblings and parents were awaken by their children, they inspected the childs room, dad knows whats going on, and orders everyone to the basement as fast as they can, THIS IS NOT A DRILL, its a attack, the goverment expects you to follow, you must, your will die, it is sad to many things were broken during the attack, houses, shops, hotels, apartments, offices, i am not from saudi arabia, but i fell so sad for the events that happend on january 14, 1991, i wish you all luck.

Get a brain pls and if u have to say nothing nice why don't u stfu?

@@shekharadhikari8416 you're not being nice either though

@@Chickenbarbeque iam saying to the guy called point recall;-;

Oh wait, I'm stupid. I was gonna reply about you lying about your blocked comment 😂 Edit: Because I didn't double check 😐

And also small non directional sirens so I'm assuming Screamer S2s

Would you know which one is at 9:20?

@@lordmephisto6654 I can hear a close Hörmann F71 or Pintsch Bamag siren, and a distant ACA Cyclone a few seconds later

@@imaginox9 where do u know this?!

@@Niiidil The Pintsch Bamag/Hörmann F71 is that big German "siren tower" that has a very specific sound, the siren goes silent for half a second between each up/down cycle, you can hear it in the video. As for the Cyclone, they have the sound of an 8/12 ports siren and Saudi Arabia has (or had) Cyclones. And they never paid for them, which bankrupted ACA in the early 90's

I was a kid I was 9 years old

_The most horrifying part in my opinion is __24:18__ bc the letters in english are ALL. CAP. LETTERS._

I was there, and i saw the explosion front of my bare eyes

الحمدلله على نعمة الأمن 😌

Yeah dude 30 year old video, a war, it was 2 am, the sirens and amber alerts, low quality vid, a big country like Saudi Arabia like it’s really terrifying

Oh yeah try playing this at night with the lights off at 3:00 am

I hope you can tell and spread your message to your next of kin. To make them know that war is for fools.

GAS MISSLES WERE USED!?

@@superbrownsheep3777 yep, they even tried bio weapons

He was in riyadh?

Thank you Mick. Our hq unit was there just across the street. 3/43 Patriot. We got our "vaccinations" and dental care there. I was at Riyadh air base during the shooting show. I had a lot of fun doing the fun runs at kkia

I think its the swedish air raid siren called "hesa fredrik"

@@UazGamingYT710it’s a analog Whelen, I looked into it

That’s Hesa Fredrik

That's a ACA screamer S2

@@mishplayz1288 No the one around 1:50

@@beefsalan It sounds close to a Hörmann ECN siren (sadly don't know the model name). But since the audio quality is bad it might be something else, That's just my guess.

Emc 864

That was when the attack was over So they are ok

That's an old one

Its Unknown, sorry...

VHS camera.

24:19 also

It’s way worst than the USA’s it’s terrifying

Eternal 85 I know

reminds me of ghostbusters

and i though Canada's alert system was terrifying

have u ever seen the channel Horror Stories? I've seen some shit

That's the best question so far, I always wonder how do people upload VHS to RU-vid.

Maybe this will help m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-udwPo6vLfSU.html

DVD/VHS recorder - then transferred the DVD video file to my computer ... then uploaded to RU-vid (after making a file conversion).

​@@PillbowenI was 2 or 3 some how I like the siren I think my ear used too it iam saudi😂

Aw hell naw my parents were in Riyadh panicking because of the missles and yes that is not fireworks it’s the patriot stopped the scud missles

Bro, it's 1991, hardly

@@Niercle You have no idea what you're talking about, STFU. Look at VWestlife's camcorder rips, alongside many other 720p60 or 1080p60 analog video rips on RU-vid (before AI upscaling and frame doubling was a widely used thing) or just look at VHS/Video8/Hi8 video on real hardware yourself.

You're welcome. Be well.

Hey@@Pillbowen, do you remember seeing anything on the TV about the attacks, or did you just heard the siren from outside?

@@ZeroClki often would hear a siren or the Patriot battery - never had time to watch tv

Oh okay@@Pillbowen.

Yep

Except those are real attacks

Those sirens sound like they are from norway

The siren be like: OOOOOOOOOOooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

23:44 OH MY GOD!! SIRENS CREEPY,CREEPY WARNINGS ON TV,RADIO!!1!!! GOD!

LOL!!

It happened in an urban city mister.

It is real

So it didn't sound anything like the one on RU-vid?
