On 7th June 1981 a group of F-16 fighter-bombers from the Israeli
Air Force bombed the newly completed French-built Iraqi nuclear
reactor at Tuwaitha, south-east of Baghdad. The F-16s dived in low
and dropped 2000lb iron bombs and 900lb HE bombs on the main
reactor building destroying the reactor, yet leaving only one
casualty. Up above six F-15 fighters flew top cover while on the
border of Iraq CH-53 Air Rescue helicopters were ready to retrieve
any pilots who were shot down. The Iraqi air defences around the
reactor were formidable with SA-6 (Gainful), SA-2 and SA-3
anti-aircraft missiles and ZSU-57-2 and ZSU-23-4 radar guided
anti-aircraft guns and MIG-21 and MIG-23MF fighter interceptors
based at a nearby airfield.
