His smoking wreck blazes a trail from left to right across my canopy, and now his wingman is exposed. I will get this shot; Vasily has missed again and I have the honor. He will hear about this at table tonight! |

The Turk’s wingman desperately jockeys for position, pulling a hard afterburner turn to get a Sparrow lock on me. |

He will fail, though, for I have the angle on him and an R-27RE ready to fly.“Fox one, long.”I release and follow it with a second. I have him, now.
He cannot escape, though he frantically attempts to evade. The first missile detonates and the Phantom bursts into flame followed by a perfect hit from its twin as the canopy flies off for an attempted ejection. |

Flashing past the black, oily trail I look up to see if the crew escaped from the fireball and see parachutes. Vasily has seen them as well, and calls for an FSB coast-patrol unit to pick them up for interrogation. We will learn much from these rogue airmen. |
