EF-111A Raven (Desert Storm)
Grumman · USA
During the 1991 Gulf War, the EF-111A was essential. Its ALQ-99 jamming system created "electronic corridors" that allowed non-stealthy aircraft to fly into Iraqi airspace without being seen by radar. It famously scored an "unarmed kill" when an Iraqi Mirage crashed while trying to maneuver behind it.
