WASHINGTON — Navy and Marine Corps pilots launched more than 100 decoys in the first few days of last winter`s air war against Iraq, saturating enemy radar scopes with a confusing mass of blips and drawing anti-aircraft fire.
The glider decoys were launched by strike aircraft as they approached heavily defended areas deep inside Iraq. The deception allowed American jets to strike targets unmolested, according to military and industry officials.
