1991: F-111F Aardvarks initiated “smart bomb” attacks against hardened aircraft shelters at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq. The attacks were so successful, Iraqi fighters started flying to Iran to escape destruction.
During Desert Storm, F-111Fs completed 3.2 successful strike missions for every unsuccessful one, better than any other U.S. strike aircraft used in the operation. The group of 66 F-111Fs dropped almost 80% of the war’s laser-guided bombs, including the penetrating bunker-buster GBU-28. Eighteen F-111Es were also deployed during the operation (highlighted in the Military.com link below). The F-111s were credited with destroying more than 1,500 Iraqi tanks and armored vehicles. Their use in the anti-armor role was dubbed “tank plinking”. (This strike package included an EF-111 Raven at right, USAF Images)
