"At least one USN jet shot down and a dozen mission kills..."

Okay, Bob, Ya got Scott, but what does 'a dozen mission kills' refer to?

A wing of F-111s or Tornadoes dropped their loads short of target and chased away by Foxbat is a mission kill and a success in terms of air defence.

I have no idea why are you painting me sympathetic to an Iraqi cause which I obviously don’t.

We are discussing a weapons platform here.

It did not get Scott. The MiG was listed as a possible sources of the downing. It was never stated or determined to be the cause of the loss.
