And in 1971-72 when Teledyne Ryan was experimenting with the
Ryan Model 234 for defense suppression missions against SAM-2, (V-750-VK)
sites using LGBs and a short EO bomb called Stubby HOBO.

In the end, missiles with conventional EMP devices and airplanes able to
use their radars to HERFGUN the UAVs will keep the manned aircraft in
business for the most part.
