Photos and ELINT reconnaisance in a hostile environment. Probably
Bosnia if that warms up. Iraq, Iran. UAV's, RPV's, and U-2's can't
survive in areas with missile defenses. In 30 years, over 1,000
SAM's were fired at sleds with zero hits. They used to fly from
Kadena and Mildenhall and cover the world. Probably set up DET's
in different places now that the cold war is over.

Some did get *really* close (from 2315.105):
: (S) During the flight of 30 October 1967, pilot Dennis Sullivan detected
: radar tracking on his first pass over North Vietnam. Two sites prepared
: to launch missiles but neither did. During the second pass at least six
: missiles were fired at the OXCART, each confirmed by missile vapor
: trails on mission photog- raphy. Sullivan saw these vapor trails and
: witnessed three missile detonations. Post-flight inspection of the
: aircraft revealed that a piece of metal had penetrated the lower right
: wing fillet area and lodged against the support structure of the wing
: tank. The fragment was not a warhead pellet but may have been a part of
: the debris from one of the missile detonations observed by the pilot.
Your point is well taken, though. If memory serves, the only thing
to actually take down a sled was, ironically, a D-21 drone.
