I remember the sirens well. I was 8 years old living in Riyadh during this time. The intercepts would send shockwaves that shook everything violently - had to Duck Tape windows as they were prone to shattering. Interesting memories - thanks for sharing.
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.
War is horrific. I can't even imagine living in fear every day that you could just be dead from a missile attack one second. I pray for everyone who had to experience this.
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!

This video is incredibly creepy. It was filmed at night, 30 years ago, the tape is also old, and the situation is terrifying.
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 it’s also bcuz of the oil rigs that were hit

Thank you bro I’m Saudi 2016 legend
Thank you 😊 ❤
Thanks😊
I was there, so many years ago now, but feels like yesterday, it was terrifying. I won''t ever forget.
@محمد الغامدي ok we get it
Okay so *scud is my favorite*
@محمد الغامدي Thank you for that nice fact!
Yeah Same
i was in Dharan with the Army while this was going on. Those were literally being intercepted over top of us, the Patriot missile batteries were about 1/2 behind us. So close when they launched and went overhead, we could feel and hear them. Some nights no alarms warned us before the first launch. I still think of it to this day.
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.

I was 10 years old and living in Riyadh at this time, I had to move to another country while this was happening. A missile almost hit our car and we were very scared. I was screaming, crying, asking my parents why this was happening, she said “A missile hit our city.” I started crying even louder and said “What country launched it?” She said, “Iraq.”
After like 10 or 11 hours, we arrived in Jiddah. Now I have been living in Jiddah since this happened.

oh my god I didn’t know saddam did this at all
@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.
I was sleeping at that night . Suddenly the siren is started . I wake up and started to call my pearents . I got scared by the siren . I saw at sky by window then I saw some red light . I played the radio and listened it . On that night i can't sleep . Siren war very creepy. My heartbeat are going to stop.
I mean i slept before i was like wtf and i said ehhh fuk it and i slept but dont worry turn on the quarn allah can support you :D
Its fun fact saudi arabia has patriot misslile
When the missle landed emp will be launced no calll no signal of tv
Creepy...
@@isu1523 the patriot missles came from a us base
I was actually in this patriot missile unit. This is a100% legit video. But it does not actually capture much of the action. 17 patriot missiles were launched in defense of the airspace over kkia. You should see the classified videos documenting this. I wouldnt be commenting today if they didnt do their job. Patriot missiles were developed in the 1960's and this was their first war they were used in. The missile technology has advanced greatly now and patriot missile batteries continue to be sold and used in many countries in the world.
I thank you for your service, sir.
cool
Thanks a lot for your service ❤️
@@captainbroady thank you 😊
@@hollysaga thank you 😊
i hear different signals.
Some are Pulse.
Some are Steady.
Some are Wail.
As i know in a certain countries - Pulse Signal can mean ( Danger is approaching or early alert ) Steady Signal means either ( All Clear or Alert ) but wail is the usual ( Danger or Attack )
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
Missiles and sirens are frightening no matter where you live. Great testimonial video.
The TV broadcast was the scariest thing I've ever seen in my whole life
Cameraman never dies

My late father was in Saudi Arabia during the gulf war. It was so scary that he didn't sleep for more than 48 hours.
Thankyou to everyone that helped us during those times
Creepy sirens, and a static red warning on your tv set.
That's more than enough to scare you to bits.
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
@@khaledShar man that feels like you are in a eerie horror movie
@@khaledShar and tape the doors and windows because of the gas
The fact that these sirens are going off for an actual attack makes it creepy and unsettling ! Also I can hear a multitude of sirens: a German Pintsch Bamag or Hörmann compressed air siren, a lot of Swedish Kockum Sonics Typhoon "Hesa Fredrik" air horns, a few Whelen sirens, and a faint, distant ACA Cyclone
H o w. D o. U. K n o w ? ?
@@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)
I was working at Security Forces Hospital . It was something , the building shook a few times. I was frightening for sure. I was working in the ER for any sort of patients that had got hurt. One was a Saudi General their building got hit and his pelvis was fractured. I was hard the women in housing compound would scream and make things worse. I had to go yell to them to stay safe and tried to calm them. It was very insane ordeal for all.
Oof... I uhh... I am sorry for all the Saudi Arabians here. I hope it never happens again. You deserve respect. I just can’t believe it.
And I always pronounced it sordi

صوت الانذار يخوف الحمدللله على الامن والامان 🇸🇦💛
أتذكر أن هذا كان رعبًا لعائلتي عندما كان عمري 4 سنوات ولم أفهم المعنى الكامل لشيء إنذار التلفزيون ولكنه كان مخيفًا
And also i had to evacuate
And i think i remember there was gas
i still cant believe some of these cold hearted people are claiming that its a skit and it's fake
as a native arabian, this is %100 real
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.

Oh yeah try playing this at night with the lights off at 3:00 am
if theres ever a missile attack, we need this guy hes just so calm about missiles attacking
Saudi Arabia apparently had ACA Cyclone 125s and ACA Banshee 115s
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
The fact that the time is between 12:00 PM and 6:00 AM fits with the music

Oh gosh this was in the middle of the night. Hope everyone’s okay- the sirens were also very creepy and they sound like the Norway sirens. I also hear Cyprus war siren
