MiG-25 versus Predator
It was a Predator equipped with Stingers in the Southern No Fly Zone. The MiG-25 fired an AAM at the Predator. Before being shot down the Predator launched a Stinger.
When did this occur???
23 May 1964 attack of two US F-102 on Czechoslovak Mi-4 what took the photos of german border area from Czechoslovak territory, but US fighters didn´t fire only several attacks by manoeuvres.
__?__ January 1970 Václav Bartoš pilot of Mig-19 got the order to fire on german hellicopter, he switched on photocamera but not cannons and refused to fire. He was released from army.
12 September 1985 crash of Czechoslovak Mi-24D of Tóth, Horák, Melíšek crew during manoeuvring against US AH-1S in montain border area. The Hind fell down due to air eddy behind a mountain. Crew survived.

Great Hind Photos
Great Hind Photos!!
Thanks!!!
I don’t think you will see any Raptor vs Flanker engagements anytime soon…………..too bad!
And how do we know the F-22 was not lurking around to see if the Flankers noticed any “others” in the area?
During May 1982 a Mirage F1-AZ destroyed a Mi-8 on the ground. It was not shot down.
Do you have the actual date and location of this event, name of the losing unit, etc.! I’d like the full story.
Thanks!
Mi-8 Bulgarian Civ Helo Iraq 4.21.05
Mi-8?, What Mi-8?
See Images of the Mi-8 Bulgarian Civ Helo shot down in Iraq 4.21.05. There is still a video floating around. So the feelings are they there are few if any MANPATS available for use against US helos in Iraq!?! Go for the hovering helo with a RPG!!
No IR Suppressors
civil unmarked Bell 412SP and MD500E
With all the SA-7/14/18 and Stingers around, one would think these helos would have mount flares and IR suppressors. Or will they end up like the civilian Mi-8 did???
Does anyone have information on this event??
16 June 1983, while patrolling the East German border near Kassel, a Soviet piloted Mi-24 Hind-D crashed and exploded trying to mirror maneuvers being performed by an U.S. Army 11th ACR, AH-1S Cobra.
Does anyone have any images of this crash??

This a Mi-24 shot down on 6th October 1995 over former Yugoslavia
Do you have the story on this shoot down?? What happened to the crew? It looks like one of the blades came close to the canopy. And the a/c is laying on the co-pilot’s door without any evidence of egress.
They also intercepted and hassled a German navy helicopter.(
I missed this one, can anyone elaborate!!!!
