Now beijing .. I am not so sure about, I think an F-22 would make a proper air show over china before anyone knew it was there.

Well I think even China has S300 ... or licensed produced version with some modifications ...

Perhaps, but AA regiments are not always deployed, and most of the time, the S-300 radars were turned off, there was no reason to use them, the AWACS and the main radars would always provide the first picture. So to comment, I don't think the batteries radars operate as part of the air defence network in china constantly.

I think for sometime they knew he was flying but did not know what to do with him ....

Fail again Ottoman troll, during Rust's whole flight he was tracked by Soviet air defence and fighter interceptors, the only reason he landed in the red square in one peace is because Soviet fighters never received permission to shoot him down.

If it was shot down, then the airplane wouldn't have been there in the first place

Sorry Ottoman idiot but you fail agian,

Not long after being seen by the Soviet fighter pilot, Rust descended in order to avoid some low clouds and icing. For a brief period, his blip disappeared from Soviet radar screens. Once the weather cleared, Rust climbed back to 2,500 feet, and an image of the unidentified airplane appeared on the radar screen in a new sector, one whose commander ordered two more fighter-interceptors to investigate.

Now nearly two hours into his flight, Rust says the sun was shining when he saw “a black shadow shooting in the sky and then disappear.” A few moments later, from out of a layer of clouds in front of him, an aircraft appeared. “It was coming at me very fast, and dead-on,” Rust recalls. “And it went whoosh!—right over me.

“I remember how my heart felt, beating very fast,” he continues. “This was exactly the moment when you start to ask yourself: Is this when they shoot you down?”

From below and to the left, a Soviet MiG-23 fighter-interceptor pulled up beside him. With nearly three times the wingspan and more than 10 times the weight of Rust’s Cessna, the MiG seemed huge. Designed to fly at more than twice the speed of sound, the swing-wing fighter had to be put into full landing configuration—gear and flaps extended, wings swung outward—in order to slow it enough to fly alongside the Cessna. Its nose rode high as it hovered at the edge of a stall.

Rust’s altitude probably helped him appear harmless. Had he attempted to evade radar, as many later speculated he did, the Soviets likely would have taken more aggressive action to stop him, but even in that scenario, the Soviets’ options for dealing with him were fairly limited. Since the KAL 007 tragedy, strict orders were given that no hostile action be taken against civilian aircraft unless orders originated at the very highest levels of the Soviet military, and at that moment, Defense Minister Sergei Sokolov and other top military commanders were in East Berlin with Gorbachev for a meeting of Warsaw Pact states.

I think that was enough ownage for one day, do you?

 

[PERSIAN GOD KING]

I think usa is concentrating on their 6th gen fighter instead.

 

[Quasar]

a Cessna 172, resting in Red Square is enough ownage for u and ur USSR kid? dont you think so?

Stupid Ottoman troll, why always talking about the moon landing, after all it was American who landed on the moon not some Turk ?


Why don't you list the number of science achievements and inventions your people have made in last 90 years


As for being owned, like I said before no one can beat the benchmark that the Turks have set

I didn't talk about the Ottomans, Ottoman troll is what I call you.

I have posted Armenian scientific achievements, now its your turn to list Turkish scientific achievements(If their are any)

 

[Quasar]

armenian scientific achievements? what a joke!, hmm then this place called armenia where you guys live should be a rich and prosperous land ?? dont you think so? fill your empty stomach first kid!

feel free to visit our Turkish defence section!
