The modern RAF is also quite familiar with IDF.

The 18 Scuds fired at Dhahran and the 7 at KKMC would have been a similar total number to 2 weeks worth of incoming at Basra, and that went on for years without the luxury of the defensive Patriot umbrella you(?) were sat under.

I guess for many fleets it must have been difficult getting out of the 70's flying club mentality and heading off to a real conflict.
