I've been trying to remember what the drone strategy to draw off the Cylons last week reminded me of. It was the Soviet Backfire/Badger attack in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising. They used drones to draw off the U.S. F-14s and were able to attack an undefended U.S. Battlegroup.

That was a great book. He and Larry Bond put out the best military fiction book I have ever seen.

Probably worth going back and reading it again.

It could be something out of WWII as well. Moore and others have written a lot of the battles around WWII and WWI - Scar was based on the Red Baron, the episode where Boomer uploaded the virus to the Cylon Raiders and the Vipers took out hundreds of them was based on the Marianas Turkey Shoot (I'm spelling it wrong) from WWII/Pacific (I think it's referred to as the great Cylon Turkey Shoot).
