Fallout Re: AI Air Defense

Let's not forget the Vietnam War term "Broken Arrow" which brought all available air assets regardless of who was flying it into the fray for close in air support as happened in the Ia Drang Valley (Danger Close.) in '65. But I have to think the CORPS and Navy lead the way and perfected it as much as the technology would allow for the concept in WWII such as at Iwo. The battle of Kursk was not only the largest tank battle of WWII but also one of the largest air battles as well where close in air support made a difference more so on the Russian side. And now "fiiget a bout it" it's so deadly.

Regards,
Pat
