Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Wild Weasels are the aircraft crews who try to sniff out and kill enemy anti-aircraft defenses ahead of other air missions, as well as the pop-culture name for that mission. They show up in some flight sims and a few pieces of war literature, but not quite enough to be their own trope; nevertheless, while stories of fighters-versus-SAMs aren't quite as glamorous as hot fighter-on-fighter action (and thus gets way less exposure in popular culture), they're still a very important component of aerial warfare, not to mention an eternal part of the Vietnam War for pilots. In short, they handle Escort Missions where the main threat is a Macross Missile Massacre from surface-to-air missiles instead of enemy aircraft. |
