VISUAL AIRCRAFT RECOGNITION
A little aware of capabilities of both types, I don't think mistaking
Fishbed with Fitter would have "no impact" on the troops. Fighter capabilities of Su-17 are poor, but MiG-21 cannot haul heavy air-to- ground ordnance (like H-29 missile) or a nuclear bomb, though I don't remember if the latter capability was well-advertised in the Warsaw Pact forces... Best regards, Jacek On the other hand, mistaking one type of hostile aircraft (a Su-17 Fitter) for another type of hostile aircraft (a MiG-21 Fishbed) would generally have "no impact" -- except "if friendly countries were flying some aircraft types that are normally considered hostile."
