That sounds about right for Vietnam.

We are a lot more sophisticated than that today.

It's been 30 years since I worked this stuff but we are starting to skirt close to when I dummy up.

My guess is that in the early days of Wild Weasel, that was classified. It would be cool to see a Vietnam-era movie incorporate the early days into a scene. Before the dramtic action scene, maybe include a briefing based upon OldWarBaby's comments listed below. Could be a bit humorous ...

I remember the Wild Weasel guys saying things like “really, we’re gonna be bait”? “tell us again who thot this up.?”

The initial briefing could include this info ...

That was a tactic right out of Sitting Bull’s manual. Run one Brave right in front of the woods to draw fire in case somebodies in there?
