Dear Forum members,
Can anyone help me with details of the two ejections by Alexander Rutskoi or
put me in contact with a Russian Forum that might be able to help?
I believe his first ejection was due to being shot down by Mujahideen either
using a shoulder launched missile possibly a stinger or anti-aircraft fire -
but have no date nor exact location for this. I think it was in 1986.
His second ejection from an Su-25 was on 4th August 1988 when he was shot down
using an AIM-9L Missile by Sqn. Ldr. Athar Bukhari of No. 14 Squardon, Pakistan
Air Force who was flying an F-16. He was injured and became a POW
Any help appreciated, maybe even a contact address for Mr Rutskoi.
Lastly does anyone know a good source or archive where the Russian pilots who
ejected in Afghanistan are named and the dates of their ejections are listed
Regards
