| John Moscow, OTH | MiG-23 is an excellent fighter that had it's reputation
ruined several times, downgraded export versions, flown by ill-trined pilots,vwith little or no experience against higly trained pilots with the best avionics. Recent reevaluation by U.S pilots claim that the fighter is similar to an F-16 in maneuverability charasteristics. So pay respect to this often misjudjed aircraft. 05/16/2001 @ 16:21 [ref: 2288] |
