Did the General Dynamics F-111 play a significant role in the Gulf War?

Описание: In the initial aerial phase of the Gulf War, a significant number of coalition aircraft flew through the Middle Eastern skies on a major mission into enemy territory. Iraqi radar systems became highly active upon detecting this movement.

Within minutes, Mirage and MiG squadrons ascended to intercept the incoming aircraft. As they engaged, flashes of aircraft weaponry illuminated the skies. An Iraqi Mirage F1EQ identified a low-flying General Dynamics F-111. This American aircraft appeared vulnerable, setting the stage for a potential confrontation between these supersonic jets.

Nevertheless, this aircraft wasn't a typical F-111. Instead, it was a Raven tactical electronic jamming plane, devoid of any weaponry. Positioned thousands of feet below other American fighter planes and lacking the means to retaliate, the crew had to rely on their sole advantage: an advanced array of electronic warfare tools.
