Wacko_ZA Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 So I have recently listened to a really cool audiobook about a viper driver that did wild weasel with the gamblers during both Iraq wars, but more so during Iraqi freedom, and he made a lot of mention about the up to 4 dogs he could walk during a mission. And this has me wondering, are we going to get the towed decoys they were running? https://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/ale50

SCPanda Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I wonder if ALE-50 is gonna make F-16 invincible in BVR.

I wonder how effective it would be in A/A engagements, no mention was made in it, but the book was all about weaselling and SEAD.... the author lost MANY of these guys
