Hi everyone,
If i may ask for your help in yet another puzzle regarding IqAF operations in 1991, this time regarding the mighty Su-24MK. According to Tom Cooper in "Iraqi fighters 1953-2003", during the Su-24s evacuation to Iran, a couple of F-15Cs attacked a Su-24 at low level, fired a total of 7 (seven) misiles at it, but they all missed (!), being decoyed by the Sukhoi's automatic countermeasures. This engagement is described as "quite famous", unfortunately i haven't been able to find any other reference to it on the www and some F-15 books i've read, so if i may kindly ask, do any of you gents know about this encounter, like who the iraqi pilots were, their memories of this incident if any, whether you have any info as to the identity of the F-15s and so on. I assume this incident must have happened on January 27, 1991, as apparently that is the date the Su-24MKs were evacuated to Iran.
Many thanks!
