The Battle of 73 Easting was fought on 26 February 1991, during the Gulf War, between Coalition armored forces (US VII Corps and UK 1st Armoured Division) and Iraqi armored forces (Republican Guard and Tawakalna Division). It was named for a UTM north–south coordinate line (an "Easting", measured in kilometers and readable on GPS receivers) that was used as a phase line by Coalition forces to measure their progress through what the Iraqis thought was trackless desert. The battle was later described by Lt. John Mecca, a participant, as "the last great tank battle of the 20th century."[7] This battle took place several hours after another, smaller, tank battle at Al Busayyah.

This video was inspired by HistoryFeels channel. I quite enjoy his videos. I seen this video requested on an older video of his so I just thought I'd try my hand at it.
