Beautiful, highly detailed F-4 Phantom Wild Weasel patch highlighting its radar seeking, SAM killing AGM-88 HARM (High Speed Anti-radiation Missile).
The F-4E, the most advanced Phantom variant with extensive ground-attack capabilities and an internal gun, became the basis for the F-4G Wild Weasel V (also known as the Advanced Wild Weasel). This modification consisted of removing the gun and replacing it with the APR-38(t) Radar Homing and Warning Receiver (later upgraded to the APR-47), and a cockpit upgrade for the back seat to manage the electronic combat environment. A total of 134 F-4G models were converted from F-4Es with the first one flying in 1975. Squadron service began in 1978.F-4Gs were deployed to three active wings. One was stationed atGeorge AFB,Victorville, California, as part of the Rapid Deployment Force; one wing was assigned toUSAFE(US Air Forces in Europe) atSpangdahlem AB, Germany; and the other toPACAF(Pacific Air Forces) atClark AB, Philippines. F-4Gs from George AFB, Clark AB and Spangdahlem AB saw combat duringOperation Desert Stormin 1991, successfully protecting strike packages from enemy air defenses..AfterDesert Storm, some of the George AFB aircraft were assigned to the124th Wingof the Air National Guard atBoise, Idaho,190th Fighter Squadron. Aircraft from Spangdahlem, Clark, and the remainder from George were assigned to the561st Fighter Squadron,57th Fighter Wing(Active Duty) at Nellis AFB,Las Vegas. The aircraft remained in service until 1996, with both squadrons participating in frequent deployments to Saudi Arabia and Turkey in support of Operation Provide Comfort, Operation Southern Watch, and Operation Vigilant Warrior enforcing the no-fly zones over Iraq. By this time the F-4G was the last operational variant of the Phantom II in the US forces. Many of the airframes were later used as target drones and Aircraft Battle Damage Repair training aids (Wikipedia).
TheAGM-88 HARM(High Speed Anti-radiation Missile) can detect, attack and destroy aradar antennaortransmitterwith minimal aircrew input. The proportional guidance system that homes in on enemy radar emissions has a fixed antenna and seeker head in the missile\'s nose. A smokeless, motorpropels the missile at speeds overMach 2.0. The HARM missile was a program led by theU.S. Navy, and it was first carried by theA-6E,A-7, andF/A-18A/B aircraft, and then it equipped theEA-6Baircraft. RDT&E for use on theF-14aircraft was begun, but not completed. TheU.S. Air Force(USAF) put the HARM onto theF-4GWild Weaselaircraft, and later on specializedF-16sequipped with theHARM Targeting System(HTS). The HTS pod, used by the USAF only, allows F-16s to detect and automatically target radar systems with HARMs instead of relying on the missile\'s sensors alone.RECENT response:
