I´m afraid I won´t be of any help, Robert, as few if any of us got to have a peek behind the Iron Curtain in those days. Hans, I think here - " I am open to mart, change same shots in high-res always :wink: " - any photos of intercepts, occassional "meetings" with WP aircrafts in the international ...

" In the time of the Cold.War it was usus, that over the Baltic-sea fighters of NATO and Warshaw-Pact "played" intercepting of the enemy. The most hated enemy in such duells for our MiG-21 pilots was the SAAB J-35 Draken, because the Draken could fly slow and was agil under this condition. The MiG-2...

I bet you could have heard them from miles away!! Our unit with 4 x MiG-21bis were deployed to there then. The noise of those helos is memorable, but for me to see the simultaneous takeoff of the whole unit - that was more unique :wink: It was the "Duna-84" large scale WP exercise, 396.gv.ovp. Mi-6...

To me the MiG-25 had always been the ultimate "Red Star Aircraft" during the cold war. For us in the non-Soviet WP airforces the MiG-25 was a "nightmare". Russians sent MiG-25s with high-speed, at high altitude as targets - simulate SR-71 - to check our air-defence. Most of the times to catch it - ...

PS: Do you own the 4 books of the "Sowjetische Fliegerkrafte Deutschland" too, as well as the book "Rote Platze" ? Yes, I have those books....but I am very disappointed with the matter... For example - Author has basic problems to identify the MiG-21 subtypes - here on page 53.: http://pics.livejou...

Looking at the photos and seeing the MiG-25's too, as well as the country side and flightline, I would almost think it was at Werneuchen, DDR. Ir is this just wishful thinking ?
