For instance, ISTR seeing it claimed (possibly in Jenkins' F-105 book) that the
Navy's use of track breakers like the ALQ-51 was less effective against SAMs than
the USAF's use of QRC-160 series noise jammers such as the ALQ-71/87, and the later
noise/deception QRC-335/ALQ-101 series.


Might find this interesting.

Many thanks for the cite. Much good info from the other side of the hill. I'm glad to
see that we are gradually getting more accounts from the (PAVN) horse's mouth; for a
long time only Douglas Pike seemed to be doing this, until authors like Toperczer and
Marshall Michel were able to add some more. Interesting that Pribbenow can give the
unit and name the missile control officer who is credited with shooting down McCain.
