For truly professional electronic combat fliers, you have only to listen to the stories about the Lechfeld Tornado ECR guys during the Balkan wars.

Kosovo in 99 first night the E3D took the southern Orbit, had two ECR's come all the way down from northern Italy and both failed to take gas off of fragged Tanker and KC10 that was in the orbit. Had to get them to Goia Del Cole? (spelling) on a mayday which kind of blew the plan for that raid out of the water. But F18 and EA6 stepped forward and instead of PET shots waited to target any Serb radars that came up. Always wondered why both ECR's failed to take gas?
