The F-4G Phantom II Wild Weasel is a variant of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter aircraft, developed to play the role of a "Wild Weasel," i.e., electronic warfare aircraft specialized in suppressing enemy air defenses. Here is some key information about the F-4G Phantom II Wild Weasel:

Origin and Role:

The F-4G Wild Weasel was developed by the U.S. to be part of the "Wild Weasel," program to detect, suppress, and destroy enemy air defenses, particularly missile and anti-aircraft air defense systems.
Armament:

The F-4G was equipped with a wide range of specialized armaments to fulfill its role of suppressing air defenses. These included anti-radar missiles (such as the AGM-45 Shrike and AGM-88 HARM), AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, as well as bombs and rockets.
Electronic Technology:

The F-4G Wild Weasel was equipped with advanced electronic warfare suites, including search and guidance radars, enemy radar emission reception and suppression systems, and electronic identification equipment.
Operations:

F-4G Wild Weasel aircraft were often used to escort other attack or reconnaissance aircraft operating in contested or heavily defended areas.
Their main task was to detect and destroy enemy air defense systems, enabling other aircraft to perform their missions with greater confidence.
Operational Employment:

The F-4G Wild Weasel were used in various military operations, including the 1991 Gulf War.
They proved to be instrumental in suppressing Iraqi air defenses during that war.
Withdrawal from Service:

The F-4G Wild Weasel were phased out of active service and replaced by more modern aircraft specializing in electronic warfare.
The F-4G Phantom II Wild Weasel was one of the key aircraft used to counter threats from enemy air defenses, helping to protect other aircraft and ensure the success of military air missions.
