The only point I wil add is that during any 3 day AD exercise the force had always expended all it’s Mx stocks by the end of day one.

Working on historic kill rates from Vietnam/Arab-Israeli/Indo-Pakistan conflicts the general view was that in a shooting war they’d, hopefully, achieve 3-5 kills, and hopefully against any Kitchen/Kingfish Mx above and outside F-4 Sparrow snap-up range.
