COPPERHEAD Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) My TOP 5 eastern block aircraft of the cold war would have to be: 1. TU 22M3 BACKFIRE 2. MIG 21 F3 3. SU 27 4. MIG 17 5. KA 27 HELIX. All odd choices in thier way but I love the subject, these and in fact all Soviet era aircraft seemed to have great character in thier appearance. Anyone care to chip in?

upnorth Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Tough call, I love the old Soviet Cold War stuff as much as the British Cold War planes. 1. Sukhoi Fitter family (A brutal looking batch from the Su-7 to the Su-22) 2. Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer (Made the F-111 and Tornado look cute and cuddly) 3. Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot (Reminds me of the Buccaneer: A rugby thug with wings) 4. Mil Mi-24/35 Hind (intimidating from the outside and gives you a real feeling of power just sitting in the pit) 5. Yakovlev Yak-28 line (A respectably versatile and long lived aircraft. A bit like a Canberra with added speed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
