Wild Weasel is a code name given by the United States Armed Forces specifically the US Air Force to an aircraft, of any type, equipped with radar-seeking missiles and tasked with destroying the radars and SAM installations of enemy air defense systems. The Wild Weasel concept was developed by the United States Air Force in 1965, after the introduction of Soviet SAM missiles and their downing of U.S. strike aircraft over the skies of North Vietnam. The program was headed by General Kenneth Dempster. Wild Weasel tactics and techniques began their development in 1965 following the commencement of Operation Rolling Thunder during the Vietnam War, and were later adapted by other nations during following conflicts, as well as being integrated into the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) a plan used by US air forces to establish immediate air control, prior to possible full scale conflict. Initially known by the operational code \"Iron Hand\" when first authorized on 12 August 1965, the term \"Wild Weasel\" derives from Project Wild Weasel, the USAF development program for a dedicated SAM-detection and suppression aircraft. (The technique {or a specific part} was also called an \"Iron Hand\" mission, though technically the Iron Hand part refers only to a suppression attack that paves the way for the main strike). Originally named \"Project Ferret\", denoting a predatory animal that goes into its prey\'s den to kill it (hence: \"to ferret out\"), the name was changed to differentiate it from the code-name \"Ferret\" that had been used during World War II for radar counter-measures bombers.
