Hi
maybe this thread is strange
but it’s something new.the question is there some one see real air combat between fighters by his eye.I saw one of the last air combat in 1991 war between USAF F-15C and IrAF Su-22M3 in march 22 1991 in north of tikrit when eight IrAF Su-22M3 runs from AL Hurrya Air Base(Kirkuk) after the town down in hands of insurgents .seven aircraft land in Iraqi air force college air base in north tikrit.the last aircraft fail to land because unnown reason and go for new approach.in that moment single F-15C came from the east in high altitude and track the Iraqi fighter and then the F-15C fired one Sidewinder at the Su- 22 that far about 2 mile from the F-15 .the missil hit the Su-22 and the pilot eject safely and land with his orange parachute.the Su-22 down near Baghdad Mosul highway.
