Regarding the Sand Foxbats
I read this at newsmax.com
"The Russian-made MiG-25 Foxbat being recovered by U.S. Air Force troops in the photos is an advanced reconnaissance version never before seen in the West and is equipped with sophisticated electronic warfare devices." "The recovery of the advanced MiG fighter is considered to be an intelligence coup by the U.S. Air Force. The Foxbat may also be equipped with advanced Russian- and French-made electronics that were sold to Iraq during the 1990s in violation of a U.N. ban on arms sales to Baghdad." Which version is this since is has not been discovered by the west in 10 odd years, and in more detail what would the "sophisticated" electronics be ? Is it of any value to anybody today ? One would wonder how sophisticated anything on a 20-30 year old Foxbat would be. (i mean, the most sophisticated should kinda be on the MiG-31 Foxhound, shouldnt it?) Hope anybody can clarify a bit :-) And remember, im no military expert, so if anybody can keep it in near-laymans terms i would appreciate it, thanks :-) The link to the article: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/arti...6/105528.shtml ------------- enlight |
