F-16s Featured On Leaflets

|
 Coalition aircraft enforcing the no-fly zone in northern Iraq dropped informational leaflets near Iraqi antiaircraft artillery batteries in early March. The front message on the leaflets warns the Iraqi military in Arabic, “Do not track or fire on coalition aircraft.” The backside of the leaflets reads, “Any hostile action by Iraqi air defenses toward coalition aircraft will be answered by immediate retaliation. Iraqi air defense positions that fire on coalition aircraft or activate air defense radar will be attacked and destroyed.” The leaflet drop was the second in the twelve-year history of enforcing the northern no-fly zone. |
