Post by: Shifty on August 15, 2013, 06:40:55 PM: Agreed its electronic interference. You got radar and missle warnings going off as well as the downed aviator audio beacons, not to mention tons of radio chatter.

"Shot Gun, Shot Gun!"

That is a SEAD (Wild Weasels) firing Anti-Radiation missiles at SAM radars.

Great link, sharing on FB.
