Had drones fly over/around Iraqi air defense radar sites to saturate their view and leave them unable to determine what was a drone, and what was a manned aircraft.

I'm aware of drones being used for reconnaissance and after some searching I found an article that mentions using 3 drones as part of a SEAD/strike package to get enemy SAMs to light up. Is that what you are referring to?

You'll probably also be surprised to learn that we were using radio controlled unmanned aircraft as early as WWI.

And prior to that the Austrian military used balloons with timers to drop bombs on Venice.

....?

So anyway, I did some searching and I'm not coming up with what you are talking about. Do you wanna point me in a direction or drop a source?

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear.

The "...?" was me being puzzled as to why you started talking about Austrian balloons and WW1 when I questioned your claim about "American drones over whelming Iraqi air defenses", during the gulf war

And the reason I followed that with " so anyway...", was due to the condescending nature of your comments and I didn't want to engage you on Austrian fucking balloons and WW1 as it had nothing to do with what I was asking about and frankly, I don't care anymore.

Well I don't really give a fuck what you think because you didn't even have the consideration to read any of my replies otherwise you would have answered them coherently instead of trying to dazzle me with your faux take on history.

You have still yet to back up your original claim, which I attempted to verify myself but could not, presumably because your full of shit. Stick to Austrian balloons kiddo
