Editing Offensive counter air (section)

===Weapons used===
During the 1950s, the Cold War strategy of both [[NATO]] and the [[Warsaw Pact]] called for OCA to be carried out with [[tactical nuclear weapon]]s, but by the mid-1960s, new policies of 'proportional response' brought about a return to conventional tactics. Beginning shortly before the [[Six-Day War]], specialized weapons were developed for disrupting runways, which were further developed into munitions such as the [[BLU-107 Durandal]] anti-runway bomb (carried by USAF [[F-111E]]s), and the [[JP233|Hunting JP233]] (carried by [[Royal Air Force|RAF]] [[Panavia Tornado]] aircraft), both used during the [[Gulf War|1991 Gulf War]].

After the UK signed [[Ottawa Treaty| an international accord]] in 1997, banning the production & use of anti-personnel mines, the JP233 was withdrawn from RAF service.<ref>[http://www.icbl.org/en-gb/the-treaty/treaty-status.aspx Treaty Status] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141110040825/http://www.icbl.org/en-gb/the-treaty/treaty-status.aspx |date=10 November 2014 }}, ''[[International Campaign to Ban Landmines]]''</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Hansard; Written Answers 3 March 2009, Tornado Aircraft: Weapons |url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200809/cmhansrd/cm090303/text/90303w0014.htm#st_286 |website=parliament.uk |access-date=13 March 2025}}</ref>
