KenV,
Indeed - a Hip killed by A10s and a Hind fragged (literally.....) by a Mudhen. I had a pair of F15s simulate that on me once after we'd trashed every mx shot they tried....Neither RW crew were tactically aware, and were operating in hostile skies with little to no support or SA. Both kills were cued by AWACS. The LGB was used as it out ranged the AIM-9.
The incident I'm referring to involved an Iraqi Hughes 500. It was on the ground when the LGB was released. The flight crew kept the laser designator on the helo as it became airborne and the bomb obliterated it.
