“A wing of F-111s or Tornadoes dropped their loads short of target and chased away by Foxbat is a mission kill. . .”

First, “mission kill” is not a term used by aviators, planners or weaponeers.

Second. . ."F-111 or Torandoes"? Yet you claim "mission kill" to MiG-25s?.

Third, unless you provide accurate facts and sources, you are just saying things. I provided an excellent academic source with facts, stats, interviews, ets. . .and what you are talking about never happened.

Some missions on the first and second night were terminated early (”aborted” is the correct term) but that was because they over-ran their OCA SEAD coverage.

Well, I am not an expert in military aviation. Most of the above I took from public forums. As for Mig vs F/A-18 it is often referred as a first engagement, at many sources. So does accounts on how hard Mig-25 was to intercept.
