Gulf of Sidra incident (1981)

In the first Gulf of Sidra incident, 19 August 1981, two Libyan Su-22 Fitter fired upon and were subsequently shot down by two American F-14 Tomcats off the Libyan coast.
==Background==

In 1973, Libya claimed the Gulf of Sidra as a closed bay and part of its territorial waters.〔("Congressional Research Service Issue Brief for Congress: Libya" ). (2002, April 10). Foreign Press Centers, U.S. Department of State, Retrieved 20 January 2012.〕〔St John, Ronald Bruce. (2002). ''Libya and the United States: Two Centuries of Strife''.

ISBN 0-275-93302-4.〕 This prompted the United States to conduct Freedom of Navigation (FON) operations in the area since the claim did not meet the criteria established by international law.〔Stanik, Joseph T.

ISBN 978-1-55750-983-3.〕 Libya often confronted US forces in and near the gulf, and on two occasions its fighter jets opened fire on US reconnaissance flights off the Libyan coast; once in the spring of 1973〔〔Davis, Brian L.

''El Dorado Canyon: Reagan’s Undeclared War with Qaddafi''. Naval Institute Press. p. 30. ISBN 978-1-55750-983-3.〕 FON operations intensified when Ronald Reagan came to office. In August 1981, he authorized a large naval force led by a pair of aircraft carriers, and , to deploy to the disputed area.〔Stanik, Joseph T. (2003). ''El Dorado Canyon: Reagan’s Undeclared War with Qaddafi''. Naval Institute Press. p. 49. ISBN 978-1-55750-983-3.〕 The two carriers had embarked a total of four interceptor squadrons, VF-74 ''Be-Devilers'' and VMFA-115 ''Silver Eagles'', flying F-4 Phantoms from ''Forrestal'', and VF-41 ''Black Aces'' and VF-84 ''Jolly Rogers'', flying F-14 Tomcats from ''Nimitz''. The Libyan Air Force responded by deploying a high number of interceptors and fighter-bombers. Early on the morning of 18 August, when the US exercise began, at least three MiG-25 'Foxbats' approached the US carrier groups, but were escorted away by American interceptors. The Libyans tried to establish the exact location of the US naval force. Thirty-five pairs of MiG-23 'Floggers', MiG-25s, Sukhoi Su-20 'Fitter-Cs', Su-22M 'Fitter-Js' and Mirage F1s flew into the area, and were soon intercepted by seven pairs of F-14s and F-4s.〔Wilcox, Robert K.

''El Dorado Canyon: Reagan’s Undeclared War with Qaddafi''. Naval Institute Press. p. 50. ISBN 978-1-55750-983-3.〕 US Naval Intelligence later assessed that a MiG-25 may have fired a missile from 18 miles away at US fighter aircraft that day.〔Wilcox, Robert K. (1996).
