my reading is that PAF-PN knew about weaknesses of carriers by studying the naval air engagements of ww2 against battleships and helped Americans to understand big bulky ship's eternal weaknesses against agile, small and lethal platforms. Another example is of sea skimming ASh CMs. Now these days however they can detect and take necessary countermeasures against low flying small objects.US wanted someone to perform that dare devil stunt, they didnt wanted to risk it on there pilots. Futhermore then wanted to see to what extent others can plan, kind of out of box of thinking test. This excersie helped them to collect the needful data which would have allowed them to configure there system further. Virtually they might have tested there system against the data recorded to validated there security is indeed working in such situation. On the otherhand the machos who pulled up this feat were indeed proud of there achievements, which they should be because they performed very well calculated risky maneuver. But this doesnt mean it was defeat of US security system in real terms. This kind of games are played by biggies all the time to test there security systems and capabilities of opponents.
Kudos to bravehearts, this would surely boost there morale and would further help them to build upon there tactics.
we used f7s with f22s in red flank 2010, we badly lost. Not sure if they used this tactic or some other.I had read somewhere on this forum that same technique which you mentioned was used in an exercise by PAF pilots against F22 i guess.It had surprised US pilots.
