How about them Wild Weasels TLAM, we still have those right?

Can't talk about war on land with out talking about war in the air. The Ground-Air battle is just too integral in modern tactics.
The Wild Weasel has been retired. Currently the US Military's SAM killers are the EA-6B Prowler and the new F/A-18G Growler (the 1st ones has been delivered I think), those both are operated by the Navy and the Corps. The USAF can mount Jammers and HARMs on their Strike Eagles and Vipers but they don't have a dedicated aircraft for SEAD.
