Ingenious, creative, knowing fully exploit the opponent's weaknesses, the Vietnam air defense team has successfully disable air defense suppression tactics of the U.S..
In 1965 the U.S. increased raiding activity escalates north, the number of U.S. aircraft were shot down by antiaircraft fire ground is becoming increasingly more.
To reduce the frequency of aircraft shot down by antiaircraft fire ground North Vietnam, Gen. Kenneth Dempster has proposed using tactics hunt and shoot down the planes radar air defense of North Vietnamese forces to seal "the eye "overhead monitor.
The F-4 Phantom is equipped with anti-radiation missiles, AGM-45 Shrike for the task of hunting down and destroying planes and radar fire control room of Vietnam.
The radar stations are usually used to detect planes and aircraft and guided missiles flak shoot down U.S. aircraft. This task is placed codename Wild Weasel (Wild Weasel), also known as tactical suppressed enemy air defense SEAD.
To cater to this strategy, the U.S. has successfully developed an air-to-ground missile is capable of leading to the source of radar and destroy it. The missile is named AGM-45 Shrike (the team is often called pre-rai) also known as anti-radiation missiles or anti-radar missile.
AGM-45 Shrike missile is operational principle is quite simple, just point the rocket to the radiation source (radar), the probe will lead it to place missiles and explode targets with precision very high.
The missile has a maximum range of 48km, upgraded variant has a range of about 72km. AGM-45 became effective weapon in fighting capability suppression of air defense forces Vietnam
Disable shrike missile
As the battle for the first time, AGM-45 missiles have created unexpected and devastating to the realm radar and fire control radar room of Vietnam. Meanwhile we hardly understand the technical documentation regarding the operation of the principle of the rocket.
The F-105G Wild Weasel with the AGM-45 Shrike missiles has become a typical air defense suppression tactics that made the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam in order to disable the ability to fight the North Vietnamese air defense.
The possibility of rockets raiding shrike cause even more confusion for the team radar, radar broadcast afraid to open for fear of shrike missiles. While not found a weakness of this missile, Vietnam has obtained a missile booty intact shrike from the F-4 was shot down.
The weakness of this missile is the rapid technical staff of the Military Technical Institute shows. Due to the principle of self-activity lead to the source of radiation should just turn away missile radar station shrike disoriented.
On the other hand the shrike missile is launched it shows very clearly on the radar screen, with the cunning and bravery, radar and missile troops will be based on the distance of the shrike compared to the control station to continue to broadcast or rocket took off target. In case if shrike missile control station is far from the SA-2 missile launch was near our goal is to continue to control the target missile then shutdown to disable the shrike.
Thereafter uh, missiles are no longer shrike scary as before, its combat effectiveness is seriously reduced. Force, Vietnam did not preserve the ability to continue fighting broke many air raid by the United States.
Devise find specific noise
An air defense suppression tactics that other Americans had applied in Vietnam is oppressive electronics. Using jamming measures positive, negative noise makes the radar planes and fire control of Vietnam did not catch fire goals to lead the anti-aircraft missiles SA-2.
By the ingenious, creative, courageous, non-Vietnam soldiers had successfully disable air defense suppression tactics of U.S. combat forces secure, more raid break such large-scale air U.S..
The U.S. has designed a dedicated aircraft for this mission is E/A-6B, it is equipped with dense electronic devices for tasks radar jamming planes, bullet damage frequency grooves the fire control radar.
However, with smart, creative and research processes dissected carefully jamming operations of the U.S. Air Force with the help of Soviet specialists. The radar team was "unmask" the enemies of the mess the type of interference they cause.
In particular, in the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1972 can not be regarded as typical of repressive tactics and anti-air defense system suppression between the Air Force and air defense forces in Vietnam. This can be seen as a battle against "super classic" of anti-SEAD and SEAD tactics. Up to now, 40 years later there is no air campaign to scale large enough to compare.
While Americans put all the most modern weapons to its suppression by the time the combat capability of air defense forces of Vietnam, the Vietnam also sought to disable this U.S. strategy.
But with creative intelligence, cunning, courage to exploit the weaknesses of their opponents, hitting them in unexpected places. Vietnam air defense guards broke the oppressive tactics of the U.S. Air Force air defense, smashing air raids largest since World War 2 important contribution in the liberation of southern unity country.
