Ricardian, thank you.
One aspect of that exercise is still extremely sensitive, suffice to say every effort was made to analyse the defences and create an effective ECM and penetration plan. It was determined that we had insufficient jamming power to defeat all the AD radars so all Shrimps were tuned to defeat the height finders.
Interceptors were scrambled and given successfully guidance into the Vulcans' 6 o'clock but of the Vulcans, no sign.
We were accused of all sorts of skulldugery and black magic. Simply however the Vulcans were up to 30k higher than the interceptors who were simply looking in the wrong place.
As an air defence exercise it was really unrealistic and as a bomber exercise very satisfying but again of limited value.
