Wild Weasels were invented in Vietnam. Those aircraft would go after the AAA and SAM sites drawing them away from the bombers. Original Wild Weasels were the F100 Supersabres, then the F4 Phantoms replaced them. Strategic bombing was the course of the war in North Vietnam; tactical bombing in support of ground troops was the norm in South Vietnam. As a rule, USMC jets only worked in South Vietnam; while USN jets bombed North Vietnam. As difficult it is for some historians to believe, the USAF F104 Starfighter and F102 Delta Dagger (President Bush Junior's jet) were used for ground support close air strike missions (dropping bombs); approximately 14/15 Starfighters and Delta Daggers were lost in the war. One F102 was downed in aerial combat with a MIG21; one Starfighter was downed in air to air combat with a Red Chinese MIG-19 (probably a J6 version) in 1965, when the F104 strayed to close to Hainan Island.
