They put on a good low-level show in (not over 😀 ) Beirut.

We haven’t fought anyone with a medium level air defence capability, except Iraq. Iraqs fighters didn’t fly, & the GBAD was rapidly reduced to low-level only. When the enemy has a huge amount of low-level AA, but nothing else, you fly over it. Tactics depend on who you are fighting.

It does, but when ever an airforce has flown at low-level since WW2 it has suffered- Korea, Vietnam, Harriers in Falklands, Tornados in GW1. Its great for pilot skill and testing daring but has it ever been relevant post 45? Bucaneers would have fallen like Swordfish had they attempted a low-lev strike against the Soviet fleet using iron bombs. Bucc became relvant and useful again once Martel and later Sea Eagle was fitted. Same with Tonka, until Alarm and Storm Shadow were fitted…
