Hey Drunk, what's that flying tank in the second pic? It looks like a cross between a Shturmovik and a Frogfoot.

It's an Ilyushin Il-102 that also has an impressive tail gun, but can't be seen in this pic.

I'm talking about what was actually reported back to Moscow.

Moscow wanted to hear that the American "super fighters" (like the F-14) were not invincible and could be shot down by the Soviet's Libyan "allies" and so that's what got reported.
From that post of yours, I did guess you had something to do with Intel type work

Ah...it never entered service or even production. No wonder I've never even heard of this plane.

Nope, never been in the military, nor done intel work of any kind as a civilian contractor.

I'm more of what you'd call an open-source amateur intel type.
Hence my referring to The Sword And The Shield.

It's quite amazing how much is out there to be had by anybody.
