I see that your Hegemon brain is wery succeptive to self delusion!

Brits lost 3 Tornados in two days while trying to attack Iraqi runaways using Durandal bombs.

And,abandoned the low flying tactics for good in that war.

So,your story about destruction of all iraqi airfields in two days,equal the other about Patriot missiles hitting 48 Iraqi Scuds.And,they didn`t score even one single hit!

Never mind.

Yourt reading comprehension need work. I din't say I was the Hegemon. I used "We" correctly to refer to the Unites States. No one else has managed to misunderstand that.

I think it is fair to presume the rest of your comments are of the same quality.

The french use Durandal, not the British. Israel used it successfully in 1969.

In GW1, the British used JP.233 LAAAS (Low Altitude Airfield Attack System) which is a sub-munitions dispenser for pavement cratering and anti personnel bomblets - some delayed action to deter repair crews.

High attrition and Iraq’s unwillingness to commit it’s airforce made the low level raids unnecessary.

Speaking of which... has anyone ever tooled-up a copy of the Durandel? The French make that particular weapon, IIRC, so resupply in not assured.
