Thiokol Corporation-propelled Texas Instruments AGM-88A High-Speed Antiradar Missile (HARM) leaves a U.S. Air Force McDonnell Douglas F-4G Phantom II. The combat-proven HARM is the primary antiradar weapon carried by the F-4G, an advanced "Wild Weasel" aircraft having the special role of suppressing enemy ground-based air defenses. The Weasels are the first in and last out of the target area, flying one of the USAF's most dangerous and demanding missions.

 Artist's Note: The caption reflects the 1986 time frame. The USAF's Wild Weasel role is now filled by the Lockheed Martin F-16CJ/CG Fighting Falcon and the Boeing F-15E Eagle.
