Today poeple just post the first thing that comes to their mind without information and divert off topic when confronted. Sometimes I feel like beating the same old dead horse over again.

ED Team Groove Posted August 19, 2010 ED Team Share Posted August 19, 2010 I have facts. One fact for example was that there is a plane which was flying faster with externals than a Mig-25 or MiG-31. Another fact is that the Mig-25 wasn't cooled with VODKA but industrial high grade alcohol. Facts and opinion are not the same, im sure you know that. :thumbup: Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGTharos Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I don't think SA-2 was ever a real threat to the SR-71 according to some of the stuff I've seen. The SA-2 footprint was shrunk so much by the SR-71's speed that the SR-71 only needed to turn a few degrees to be outside of the SA-2's attack zone.

The SA-2 footprint was shrunk so much by the SR-71's speed that the SR-71 only needed to turn a few degrees to be outside of the SA-2's attack zone. There were extra sorties flewn towards Cuba by special planes to get the radar signature of the SA-2 radar to feed it into SR-71s ECM Jammer(s). The SA-2 sites were avoided whenever possible on sorties in Asia. Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
