"Wild Weasel" is the code name assigned by the United States Armed Forces, particularly the United States Air Force, to any type of aircraft equipped with anti-radiation missiles and tasked with suppressing enemy air defenses by destroying radars and surface targets. into the air Missile launchers of enemy air defense systems. "Wild Weasel's first success occurred shortly after Wild Weasel's first mission on December 20, 1965, when Captains Al Lamb and Jack Donovan captured the facility during a Rolling Thunder strike on the train station at Yen Bai, approximately 75 miles northwest of Hanoi."
The Wild Weasel concept was developed by the US Air Force in 1965, following the introduction of Soviet air defense systems and their downing of American strike aircraft over North Vietnam. The program was led by General Kenneth Dempster.
Wild Weasel tactics and techniques began to be developed in 1965 following the outbreak of Operation Rolling Thunder during the Vietnam War, and were later adapted by other countries during subsequent conflicts, as well as being integrated into the Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) program. a plan used by the United States Air Force to immediately establish air superiority before a possible full-scale conflict. Originally known by the operational code "Iron Hand" when first authorized on August 12, 1965, the term "Wild Weasel" comes from Project Wild Weasel, a United States Air Force program to develop a specialized aircraft to detect and suppress SAMs. The technique was also called the "Iron Hand" mission, although technically this term only referred to a suppression attack before the main strike.) Originally called "Project Ferret", referring to a predatory animal that enters the lair of its prey to kill it (hence: " track"), the name was changed to distinguish it from the codename "Ferret" which was used during World War II for radar countermeasures bombers.
