  1. Hmmm … indeed intersting, but just go get a clearer image of the events, it must be known that the Japanese aircrfat were intercepted while flying into a restricted area, where the joint Sino-Russian Naval drills were held … so they were simply spying !! As such no need to complain.

    And finalyl the Flanker were not from the 7. Division but – as clearly visible from the serial (40547) – from the 33. Fighter Division, 98. Air Regiment.

    All the best,

  2. Yes, it was from 33. But initially when the photos were published, the information I got was it came from 7th. Too bad I don’t have a copy of your book with me. It would have helped a lot. Thanks
