Well these F-14s are so old I do not think that this incident is that bad.
Yeah right,
Even the basic F-14 A is still effective, you know?
And also.. think about USSR getting to its hands all the advanced electronics of the Tomcat..
mainly the radar and military computers..
It is a big deal.

Wellcome..
MiG-23B/BK/BN/BM and MiG-27 are attack aircrafts.
Not for air-to-air combat.
Sadly, i have tryed using google image search to find pics of USAF MiGs, but the arent any online..
And my books and magazines arent of any help as i dont have scanner..

This isnt surprising at all. Everyone steals or buys the opponents gear to test and exploit.
whilst the Army sent 33 H-21Cs to South Vietnam as early as December 1961, making the Shawnee one of the first US military aircraft to arrive in-theatre. More than 90 of these obsolescent utility helicopters would eventually see action over Vietnam up to their final retirement in 1969.

4 kills for 5 deaths?
