heres some [blinding] pics of blinders!!!!!!!. 🙂

heres some pics

the US gave canada voodoos after they made them cancel the arrow….
remember the turkish airforce was supplied with a large number of F-102 daggers..
i can remember reading in old books that a interceptor version of the tu-22 blinder was being considerd..i wonder if one ever flew…..or was this just guess work by NATO..now that would have been interesting…

exellent photo of a su-11 there.
it is a pity the flagon was never exported, then some may still be in use today..but as people have already pointed out they where a bit to specalised for eny contry to be really interested in operating them, same goes for the fiddler, saying that the foxbat was exported in quite large numbers, though there was a reccie version. i think the only country that probably would have bought these aircraft would have been china. but relations between the two countrys was not very good at the time of the aircrafts production.
the soviet unions way of exporting aircraft has always been strange..aircraft like the tu-16, tu-22, su-24, il-38, mig-25 was all exported. while yak-28, su-15 , m-4, tu-95 [apart from a few tu-142s to india], never was.
