In the article, AA-8 missiles are mentioned as ground-to-air, but upon further research, are actually air-to-air. Should I remove that reference from the article? Can anyone second me? -- Anon423 ( talk) 03:12, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
In addition, the article in general feels as if it had been written by a 10-year old with huge self-overconfidence in military affairs and bad grammar.-- Anon423 ( talk) 03:41, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
I don't see how the engagement can be said to have ended as a strategic victory for Iraq. A
strategic victory is "a victory that brings long-term advantage to the victor, and disturbs the enemy's ability to wage a war". The loss of 3 F-16s by the U.S. did not disturb their ability to fight and did not provide any long-term advantage to Iraq. Could a source be provided to support the claim in the article? Thank you, --

I've read "Strike Eagle - Flying the F-15E in the Gulf War" by William L. Smallwood and "F-15E Strike Eagle Units in Combat 1990-2005" by Steve Davies, and neither of these books mention if F-15Es was in any way part of this strike, cause if the Strike Eagles had been part it, I think it would have been mentioned. Not even GAOs "OPERATION DESERT STORM EVALUATION OF THE AIR CAMPAIGN" mentions that F-15Es particiapted. Some one should check sources. Hagman1983 ( talk) 06:54, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
No F-15E's took part in this mission. [1] MKopack ( talk) 22:21, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

It would appear as if the "Strike" section of the article has been plagiarized word for word from this military document: http://www.afhso.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-100927-067.pdf on pages 173 and 174. Is this acceptable? 96.245.244.223 ( talk) 08:22, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
"One fighter would have crashed short of Coalition territory had a KC-135 tanker from the Kansas National Guard not crossed over into enemy territory. When the F-16s began refueling in Iraqi territory, it had only 800 pounds of fuel on board, in the words of the wing commander, flying as a wingman, “an eye-watering situation.” " It had only referring to the tanker, or the low on fuel f-16? Needs a little rewording for precision. 80.233.239.118 ( talk) 08:42, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
