The Wild Weasels: Guardians of the Air

The Wild Weasels were a specialized unit of the United States Air Force (USAF) that played a critical role in the Gulf War. Their mission was to suppress enemy air defenses (SEAD),clearing a path for other aircraft to carry out strike missions.

The Weasels flew modified F-4G Phantom II aircraft, equipped with advanced electronics and weaponry. They were armed with AGM-88 HARM missiles, which could home in on enemy radar signals and destroy them.

The Weasels were a highly trained and experienced unit. They had a reputation for being fearless and aggressive, and for always getting the job done.

Desert Storm: A Baptism of Fire

The Gulf War was a major test for the Wild Weasels. They were called upon to fly dangerous missions into heavily defended Iraqi airspace.

One of the most famous Wild Weasel missions of the war was the attack on the Iraqi air defense network on the opening night of the conflict. A group of Weasels flew into Iraq and took out several key radar sites, paving the way for the successful execution of airstrikes against Iraqi targets.

The Weasels continued to fly dangerous missions throughout the war. They played a vital role in the suppression of Iraqi air defenses, and they helped to ensure the successful execution of the Allied air campaign.
