  • wonderful series. I lover Sir Peter Ustinov's voice!

  • thnx man we still use it here in sri lanka, n defeated tiger terrorists!

  • "The swing-wing silhouette of the MiG-27 will be visible in Russian skies well into the next century".

    Wow, that's so sad... These guys couldn't possibly know all single engine aircraft would be taken out of active service in the Russian Air Force in 1994...

  • The latest version, the MiG-23 MLD, was equal in combat with early version of Falcon, the F-16A.

  • @Brera011 yeah thats alright my comment wasn't totally clear apparently they IAF deny it but Syria and Russia confirm it

  • @Elfulcrum777 Thank you. I didn't know the IAF lost F15's too. And sorry for me confusing Iraq and Iran.

  • @Brera011 no no no, the 3 F-15A's were IAF same with the F-16 apparently shot down by MiG-23MLD no F-15C were shot down in iraq, the 2 F-14s were of the Iranian air force not US

  • @Elfulcrum777 Sorry Fulcrum, I do have to correct you on this statement. F15's still hold the record for having not a single combat loss. About those other claims, I would like to know in what service or battle these are claimed. Imaginable some F14's were lost while in Iraq service like the Iraq airforce also lost a couple of other American build aircraft due to bad training a/o maintenance. On the other hand, please inform us also how many MIG-23's were lost during Desert Storm and later wars

  • The MIG-23s kills record. 6 F-16A fighting falcon , 3 F-15 Eagle 10 F4 Phantom

    2 A4 Skyhawks 2 F-14A Tomcat (lebanon , Afghanistan, Iraq) 1 Mirage f1 ( South Africa) 2 Ah-1 Cobras (Iran)
