Synopsis
Learn how military pilots protect themselves against an attack from a surface-to-air missile (SAM). This book describes the evolution of American anti-radar weapons, related jamming tactics and stealth technology as leading-edge countermeasures to the SAM and other sophisticated ground-based anti-aircraft defenses. The focus is on new weapons and tactics as they emerged in combat, beginning with the Vietnam War and later the Persian Gulf and Balkans conflicts. The text combines an analytical overview of the weapons systems mixed with first-hand anecdotal reminiscences from former air and ground crews.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. An illustrated study of aerial electronic combat in the age of the Surface-to-Air Missile. It describes the evolution of American anti-radar weapons, related jamming tactics and stealth technology as leading countermeasures to the SAM and other sophisticated ground-base anti-aircraft defences. The focus is very much on new weapons and tactics as they emerged in combat, beginning with the Vietnam War and later the Persian Gulf and more recent Balkans conflicts. Combining an analytical overview of the weapons systems mixed with first-hand anecdotal reminiscences from former air and ground crews, this complex story is explained in an accessible manner, with the "hows and whys" of aerial electronic combat given a full airing. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002276388
