Read the linked material about the Black Buck missions, a few questions.

What type of profile did the tankers follow outside of Indian territory?

What type of missile did the Brazilians pull off the Vulcan?

I was surprised to read the Vulcan climbed at 40 miles out. Certainly not expecting a pop up ala a single seat fast mover, but the distance caught me off guard. Was that the norm given the AD that was expected?

Guess the Vulcan was/is the biggest weasel out there given some of the trolling they did over the islands. I'm sure ORAC will correct me if I'm incorrect.
