The (AVQ-26 Pave Tack forward looking infrared (FLIR) and laser designator system) of the F-111F had some limitations.

When you tossed the four LGB on ballistic path, the Weapon System Operator had to keep the target aimed in the crosshair...
... during this time, no hard evading was allowed.



Only at the last 5 second of the ballistic flight of the LGB's, when the laser is fired to aim the bombs.


RED - LGB's on ballistic path
YELLOW - Leaser target

And exactly this 5 second is when they fly over the harbor Zeus...
... one F-111F is known to evaded the ZEUS tracers, and her bombs hit the French Embassy, causing diplomatic problems...
