Wizz Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Hi all, This is long overdue, but I'm attaching here a translated copy of the Mig-21 chapter from Vicktor Markovsky's ‘Burnt Skies of Afghanistan: Military Aviation in the Afghan War', an account of Soviet airpower in the 1979-1988 Afghan intervention. In the grips of my DCS Mig-21 obsession upon release, and having served in Afghanistan myself as a young army captain, I paid a freelancer to translate the aforementioned chapter. The translation isn't great, but I hope anyone that wants to make use of it can. Best wishes to you all. For all of those still flying the Mig-21 on DCS, I wish you a special blessing for final approach! Regards, WizzBurnt Skies of Afghanistan MiG21- RUS-ENG.pdf

AEhere Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Thanks for sharing this. It is clear the freelancer struggled with the Russian, but it is a lot of fun trying to decipher what was the original wording :)
