But who am I to argue with Captain Drunk?
Now, was not the F-111 with its powerful radar and battery of long-range missiles intended to intercept both bombers and their missiles? Originally intended for the Navy as a fleet defender, it was supposed to perform tasks similar to the F-14. With the RAAF its a multipurpose fighter / bomber.
