Playing a more prominent role were the Air Force’s F-4Gs, specialized for SAM-suppression.  Phantoms from the 35th Tactical Fighter Wing flew with the airstrikes, destroying missile sites and radars with their [[AGM-45 Shrike|Shrike]] and HARM missiles when they threatened the strike aircraft.  250 Iraqi radars were destroyed in total, mostly by Phantoms.  In spite of the risky nature of their mission, only one F-4G was lost in combat in the war, to anti-aircraft fire.  The highest scoring F-4G crew were pilot Captain Vince Quinn and WSO Major Ken Spaar, who destroyed twelve SAM sites during their tour.
