The REAL Top Gun Battle, Gulf of Sidra 1981 - Animated

The first 1000 of my viewers to sign up using my code THEOPERATIONSROOM or my link in the description will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: Muammar Gaddafi claims the Gulf of Sidra, near the waters of Libya, as Libyan territorial waters, and declares the boundary as “The Line of Death“ for anyone who dares to cross. President Ronald Reagan decides to take a stand against this violation of international law, and deploys the US Navy to the region. The engagements of August 1981 would later become the inspiration for the aerial battles depicted in Top Gun. My “Group Captain“ tier Patreons vote on my next video subject.
