"their art".... remember, the f14 is over 30 yrs old...


And the SA-6 and radar tracking system that took down the first F-117
"Stealth" in Yugoslavia was how old?

And the eyeball-guided AAA in 'Nam?

Never bet your ass that modern technology will trump dedicated
ingenuity, even when fighting against sticks and rocks.

Not an SA-6, but an SA-3. The 250th Rocket Brigade with SA-3s downed
82-806. Colonel Dani Zoltan's unit also downed F-16CG serial 88-0550
with an SA-3. There is an exhibition in the Yugoslav Aeronautical
Museum detailing the SA-3s of the 250th Rocket Brigade. Col Dani Zoltan
received an award from Milosevic himself during the conflict.

The SA-6 story gained status through the Russian Defence Minister. He
stated Kub and the system is still quoted to this day in relation to
82-806.

During 1999 Colonel Dani Zoltan appeared in a Yugoslav documentary and
revealed that the missile was the SA-3. Again in 2005 Zoltan retold his
story in greater detail.

Thanks for the update (backdate?).
