  5. I agree with you and this was my main incentive in making this thread and the research behind it. I would have preferred in the product description to state that the map will be updated to accommodate and support the USSR conflict later in the future.
  6. Some photos of the (upcoming to DCS World) MiG-23. ML and MLD versions that took part in the conflict.

  14. Today, Hero of Russia, Honored Test Pilot Anatoly Nikolaevich Kvochur passed away. This thread is dedicated to his extraordinary life and the role he played in the advancement of Soviet and Russian aviation. Anatoly Kvotchur was born on April 16, 1952 in the village of Mazurovka, Chernevets district, Vinnitsa region, Ukrainian SSR. After graduating from school in 1969 in the village of Beryozovka, Chernevets district, he entered the Yeisk Higher Aviation School of Pilots. After graduating from college in 1973, he began serving as a pilot in the aviation units of the Air Force of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany. In 1975 he entered the Test Pilot School, from which he graduated in 1978. In 1977, Anatoly Kvotchur was dismissed from the ranks of the USSR Armed Forces. Working in the aviation industry From 1978 to 1981, he worked as a test pilot at an aircraft plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, where he tested production Su-17s and its modifications. In 1981 he was transferred to the OKB named after A.I. Mikoyan. At the OKB, he participated in tests of the MiG-29 and MiG-31 aircraft, tests of air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, tests of the MiG-29K carrier-based fighter, including studies of the systems of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov (including . was the first to perform a night takeoff from the deck), as well as in testing the latest prototypes of MiG aircraft. Also in 1981, he graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute. In 1988, at the Farnborough Aviation Show (Great Britain), Kvotchur first showed an aerobatic maneuver - “The Bell”. On June 8, 1989, at the international air show in Le Bourget (France), during a demonstration flight on the newest Soviet fighter MiG-29, an engine surge occurred, causing the aircraft to stall near the ground. Kvotchur managed to eject from an extremely low altitude. A week later he continued flying. In August, he performed demonstration aerobatics on the MiG-29 in Abbotsford (Canada). In 1991, Kvotchur went to work at the Flight Research Institute as a test pilot and then head of the ergonomics laboratory. In 1992, to carry out research programs on the design of cockpits and controls for maneuverable aircraft, satellite radio navigation, in-flight refueling, ultra-long-range non-stop flights, super-maneuverability and medicine, he created the aerobatic team “Test Pilots” (in 1996 it was transformed into the Flight Research Center) . In March 1995, he performed an ultra-long flight on a single-seat Su-27 fighter to Australia, and in July and September 1999, he flew over the North Pole along a closed route; he repeatedly performed ultra-long-range flights in a group of fighters lasting more than 10-11 hours with multiple refuelings in the air day and night, including over the ocean, from arctic to tropical latitudes. Until the age of 65, he conducted flight tests on supersonic aircraft. Kvotchur mastered and tested more than 90 types and modifications of aircraft, and in 2005 he set 11 world records on board the Su-27 . Its total flight time is about 4,800 hours, including over 3,000 hours of test flight time. May he Rest in Peace
