                     point profile north of the border inside KU. (i.e.
                     Tallil, Shaibah, and Ali Al Salen)

       14 Jan 91     727 conducted intell. collection flight along IZ/SA
                     border.

       15 Jan 91     Boeing 727 performing ICF around H2 and 113. Large
                     no. of AC on strip alert. AC dispersal, fuel
                     storage increased and major fields.

       17 Jan 91     At least 12 IZ AC reacted to MCF air attack. The
                     air resistance came from H2, Al Taqaddum and Al
                     Jalibah aflds.

       18 Jan 91     Iraq's air resistance has been light. IZ is not
                     flying south of the 32d parallel and postured in
                     defensive patrols around Baghdad. IZ Air Force is
                     encountering problems maintains fighter AC air to
                     air refueling capability and are inexperienced at
                     operating in heavy ECM environments, and have
                     significant problems with the MCF Jamming.

                     7 Scuds Launched at 0259L: 3 at Haifa, 1 at Tel
                     Aviv, and 3 at Nazareth

       19 Jan 91     4 Scud launches at Tel Aviv, 0849L

                     The initial MCF air strike on IZ seemed to have
                     taken IZ Air Force by surprise and its reaction
                     slowly increased as the day progressed. IZ
                     counter air sorties consisted primarily of local
                     area defense around selected aflds and the Baghdad
                     area.


       20 Jan 91     4 Scud launches at Dhahran, 2145L

                     The IZ Air Force has yet to make a serious attempt
                     to defend its air space, it continues to remain
                     virtually dormant during the night, unwilling or
                     unable to directly challenge MCF strike packages.
                     Overall, IZAF fighter acty was concentrated in
                     central and northern IZ between 0900 and mid 12OOz.
                     No Cap were observed during this period. IZAF
                     continues to use its Mig 29 Fulcrums and to a
                     lesser degree the Fl Mirage as its primary
                     interceptors.

       21 Jan 91     IZ air acty was light. Report of IZ fighters
                     utilizing spot lights and attemfpting night tine
                     intercepts; was reported. It appears the Iraqi's
                     may be deliberately witholding its AF to preserve
                     its assets.

                     7 Scud launches at 0042: 6 at Riyadh, I at Al Jabayl
