Su-7 Hot Summer Night"...
For the upcoming model https://www.fly814.cz 1/32 !!
Accidentally shot down by an R-3S AAM fired from a Polish AF MiG-21 during a training exercise over Poland.
...information about the case of fratricide fire between a Polish MiG-21 and Czech Su-7BKL. This incident happened during the "Zenit 70" Exercise, and developed as follows. The Czech Su-7s played the "attackeers", and were to be intercepted by Polish MiG-21s. The GCI ordered a pair of MiG-21s to be scrambled from Wroclaw AB. When the aircraft of Cpt. Henryk Osierda developed technical problems, he quickly jumped into another MiG, which was otherwise witing on QRA, and was fully armed. Osierda successfully intercepted the Czechs, and in order to bring back a proof he decided to activate his gun camera. The catch was that the gun camera works when the trigger is pressed: Osierda did just that - forgeting about the fact that his aircraft was carrying live weapons. He fired a single R-3S (AA-2 Atoll) missile and hit the Su-7BKL, flown by pilot Frantisek Kruzik. The tail of the Su-7 was cut off and the pilot ejected safely.

Ah WOW!!

 Such an effective way to training. This reminds me of the time when we were toddlers, and we'd use to play Blind Man's Bluff game with this blind kid, like...

Would love to see this, and an Su-7U Moujik would be fun too. In for every edition of this kit.
