In DS the initial F-117 and cruise missiles went in cold. After the F-117 were
RTB, the Navy and USAF began massive decoy flights which included
ECM drones. The drones themselves were firing-off chaff and flares, and
the Iraqi air defense units were getting a number of kills on the drones.
While they were killing the drones the first two strike packages came up
through the corridors left open and performed the first toss-bomb strikes.
I believe one F-16 got hit during egress. Each of these packages had an
EF-111 in it for ecm support against SAM, LRR, and AI assets.

ECM and decoys are a part of every modern air battle. It doesn't have
anything to do with stealth.

I know for a fact the B-2 and AWACS were the only two assets up, on
the night we took down the big bridge in Serbia. The NATO guys first
knew of the operation when their status boards lit-up. It was a weather
down day, and NATO was taking a nap.

No multistatics detected the B-2 and engaged it.
