For SR-71 lovers, here’s its “brother”, the YF-12 :

and its armement, the AIM-47 Falcon :

IMHO … also damage is inconsistent to the used weapon, a single AA-8 could never cause that kind of damage.

If I also consider that Su-25 intervention is unlikely, an interception doesn’t require necessarilly a pursuit between “hunter and hunted” at the same altitude and speed, but just a meeting point between the two aircrafts permitting to fire a missile that eliminate those differences (altitude, direction and speed).
And never be too affirmative about the damages that can cause missiles that seem “light” :

damages of a single 9K34 Strela-3 (SA-14 Gremlin) surface-to-air missile against DHL A300B4-203F in 2003 (8000 feet above Baghdad and warhead of 1,17 Kg) :

The R-60 have a 3,5 Kg warhead and also consider that MH17 was shoot down at 33000 feet where its cabin was overpressured (a single hole in fuselage can cause catastrophic destruction).
PS : Range of R-60M and R-60MK is 12 Km head-on and 8 Km chase-on.

Thanks, I already have that photo, sent to me by the man that took it during navigator training. It was taken in Ethiopia near Debre Zeit. If anyone can turn up any other photos of these machines, I’d be grateful.

I guess you also have pictures of the remains of this aircraft on Kismayo airport in 1993.
