>>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.

Sorry pal, but referring to the MIG-25 as a 'top interceptor' and 'invincible' are Bob's lines.

If the shoe fits.....wear it.

“A wing of F-111s or Tornadoes dropped their loads short of target and chased away by Foxbat is a mission kill. . .”

First, “mission kill” is not a term used by aviators, planners or weaponeers.

Second. . ."F-111 or Torandoes"? Yet you claim "mission kill" to MiG-25s?.

Third, unless you provide accurate facts and sources, you are just saying things. I provided an excellent academic source with facts, stats, interviews, ets. . .and what you are talking about never happened.

Some missions on the first and second night were terminated early (”aborted” is the correct term) but that was because they over-ran their OCA SEAD coverage.
