Join us in DCS World as we take our second flight in the legendary F-100D Super Sabre and explore its crucial combat role during the Vietnam War. In this mission, we focus on the birth of the Wild Weasel concept and the dangerous task of Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) against North Vietnamese SA-2 Guideline surface-to-air missile sites hidden deep within the jungle.

We begin by flying a historically inspired Wild Weasel mission using only Radar Warning Receivers (RWRs) and unguided weapons to locate and attack enemy SAM batteries. This highlights the extreme risks faced by early Wild Weasel crews and the high casualty rates suffered during these pioneering operations.

Next, we replay the mission equipped with the AGM-45 Shrike, America's first operational anti-radiation missile. We examine how this revolutionary weapon transformed SEAD tactics, improved survivability, and changed the air war over Vietnam. Discover how the F-100 Super Sabre helped pave the way for future Wild Weasel aircraft and modern electronic warfare doctrine.

If you're interested in DCS World, military aviation, Vietnam War history, Wild Weasel operations, anti-radiation missiles, SEAD tactics, or the F-100D Super Sabre, this mission is for you.
