Vladimir Ch:
Yes, my father arrived in Syria in late April 1973 and October 6, started the October War.
An adviser to the commander ibashnoy brigade under Damascus, armed with that at the time stood, basically, the MiG-17 squadron and a MiG-21M.
Before the war, related to our technology was cool, during the war, the Syrians see that and the MiG-17 can successfully perform combat tasks.
And not only bombed and shot at the ground, but also to shoot down Israeli aircraft.
Since the brigade was ibashnoy, it was not a primary objective, but sbito was not so little.
Somewhere were the figures this information is not for propaganda, but for himself, that is, they considered it reliable.
When crediting downed last word left by Soviet adviser, analyze films.
There, Syrian almost with tears trying to prove: "Comrade, I shot down!"
A father to him: "No, Habibie, film shows that not shot down."
The brigade was at the border, and Israel repeatedly bombed Air Mezze.
It is very dangerous ball-bombs were: Sunset a "balloon" the size of a large peach in the trench and then explodes.
When the bombs Skayhoki "They should have all the time to maneuver, otherwise they immediately shoot down anti-aircraft fire.
After the war, several pilots Brigade was awarded the title "Hero of Syria."
His father was among the first of three Soviet advisers, was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.
Order was brought to Syria and handed over together with the new ordenskoy book, so that their father had two.
During the war, our advisers do not fly, along with the Syrian command involved in planning sorties.
There have been cases where the Syrians ignored the recommendations of Soviet advisers, and this led to the destruction of equipment on the ground.
And in times of peace fly a lot (for the 1974 raid father was 250 hours, the fighter is a lot), and the Israelis have repeatedly tried to confuse them.
Once on the plane his father was released ZUR "Hawk", the father noticed his time and met the anti-missile maneuver.
The fact is that Syria, unlike Egypt, the radio has been available in Arabic, and calculate the Soviet pilot on the pronunciation for the Israelis was, as the saying goes, "once spit."
Among the Syrians were very good pilots.
For example, one Syrian and set a black MiG-21 in the "belly", received damage to the spine, though to shoot, but decided to save the car.
Resignedly:
«In the 70-72g.g.
Outi MiG-15 flew for the exploration of the weather and stood in the DMZ par with the MiG-21. »
Strangely, he could do subsonic fighter - yes, and even «The pairing» - without radar sight with a 23 mm cannon fire in the DMZ?
