Operation Red Kite

Operation Red Kite was a covert military operation conducted by the United States during the Vietnam War in the late 1960s. Its objective was to disrupt the supply routes of the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong. Using aerial surveillance and airstrikes, U.S. forces targeted key transportation networks, such as roads and bridges, to hinder enemy movement and supply. The operation aimed to weaken the enemy's logistical capabilities and support the broader strategy of containment and attrition against North Vietnam, ultimately contributing to the complicated and contentious nature of the conflict.
