Actually the Soviet's air defense confused KAL 007 with an RC-135 that had
already left the vicinity. You beloved Soviet's plan to shoot first and ask
questions later resulted in the deaths of civilians. Your heroes were so
proud of what they did they hid the evidence.

The Korean pilot received 3 warnings.
1) Radio communication. He did not respond. Pilot deaf.
2) Su-15 making manouvers in front of the Korean plane, pilot blind.
3) Su-15 firing his cannon to warn the Korean pilot. Pilot deaf and blind.

Name one time the U.S. shot down a Soviet aircraft in U.S. air space.

None, American technology can only shoot their own civilian aircraft, TWA 800.
