I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Remember CSAR ends with a helicopter. You need SED/SEAD as well.

I once watched a number of Belgian Air Force F16s perform a waggon wheel over a target dropping a single BDU 33 at each pass. They achieved such close timing that the target was obscured with smoke. As an example of defence suppression to secure an LZ and allow a helicopter in, it was exemplary.
