Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses or (SEAD)
Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD), also known as "Wild Weasel" and "Iron Hand" operations in the United States, are military actions to suppress enemy surface-based air defenses, including not only surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) and anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) but also interrelated systems such as early-warning radar and command, control and communication (C3) functions. This suppression can be accomplished both by physically destroying the systems or by disrupting and deceiving them through electronic warfare. In modern warfare SEAD missions can constitute as much as 30% of all sorties launched in the first week of combat and continue at a reduced rate through the rest of a campaign.
Following are some of the operational SEAD capable Fighters :
Boeing EA-18G Growler
Lockheed Martin F-16CJ Fighting Falcon
Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler
Panavia Tornado ECR
Shenyang J-8G
Sukhoi Su-24MP
Sukhoi Su-34
Xian JH-7A
Retired SEAD Fighters :
A-6B Intruder
F-4G Phantom II
F-100F Super Sabre
EF-105F/F-105G Thunderchief
Sukhoi Su-17M3P
SEAD Capable Missiles :
An anti-radiation missile (ARM) is a missile which is designed to detect and home on an enemy radio emission source for SEAD mssions.Typically these are designed for use against an enemy radar, although jammers and even radios used for communication can also be targeted in this manner.
AGM-154 JSOW(U.S)
ALARM(UK)
MAR-1(Brazil)
LD-10(China)
AGM-88 HARM (U.S)
