In Vietnam war, MIG 17`s were the surprise, not MIG 21. At that time both - americans and russions tought that there will be no more gun dog fight - just rockets. And extremelly agile MIG 17 proved that time of dog fight isn`t still gone.

Tough guys. They had more aces than the Murricans, which you'd never know from the way Western media cover this stuff. We Western dumbasses get fed the lie that the commie hordes had numbers versus our quality, but in the air at least "we" outnumbered the Vietnamese massively... which is why they had more aces. They had more targets!

@Elfulcrum777 Accuracy of first versions AIM-7 was really bad.

have to salute a good pilot!
How did he manage to evade the Americans AIM-7 missiles? was his version of the MiG-21 equipped with RWR (radar warning and receiver) or just simply by sight?

@Elfulcrum777 As I know his MiG-21PF didnt has RWR. In my view he evaded them by getting warned by his wingman or looking in the mirror. It could be also a feeling. A note is that Nguyen Van Coc scored his most kills as a wingman. The role was to protect the flight leader. So he was a defensive fighter pilot that earned him the nickname "Iron Falcon" and Lurking Tiger".

@VNMIG Evading all those missiles with no RWR must have been quite difficult dangerous and requiring nerves of steel and amazing concentration and good eye sight . it amazes me he pulled it off btw how many of his kills were Phantoms?

@Elfulcrum777 he claimed two, but the americans claimed that he shoot down 3 F-4s.
