ARMED ASSAULT FIGHTER
Small, agile and with awesome power, that’s the assault jet.
They do a specialist job, very dangerous and especially risky,
yet the pilots are proud and brave and they’re prepared to die for their cause,
their homeland, their squadron.
From the Skyhawk blooded in Vietnam, Israel and the Falklands to the Jaguar used so fiercely in two Gulf wars, it takes a special kind of pilot to attack a missile site and to fly so low.
Watch out for the ground! Hit that and you’re history.
It’s all pilot skill battling Migs and flying between valleys to the target area
if you hit the target you’ve still got to get home.
Yes, you certainly need ***** and a lot of skill to fly an assault jet.
