Wrong Jet

If I recall correctly The Soviets did not use Migg 25's in 1967.The "Foxbat" did not come into service untill the 1980,s.(It was not as good as the American equivilent F-15.

In 1967 the best Jet the Soviets had was the Migg 21,which the Arabs did not have.The main stay of the Soviet airforce was the Migg 17/19. However Frontal Aviation units flew Sukoi, not Miggs.
