Soviet Advisors Were Shocked When US F-15's Set a Trap specifically for the MiG-25

Video Description

In the early 1980s, the Soviet MiG-25 Foxbat was the fastest combat aircraft on Earth—a machine considered untouchable at altitude. But in 1981, Israeli pilots flying the American F-15 Eagle did the impossible: they shot down a Foxbat from below, shattering Soviet military doctrine. For months, Soviet advisors were baffled. Was it a lucky shot? A new missile? Or a spy? This documentary reveals the true story of the technological trap set by the Israelis and the secret "Look-Down/Shoot-Down" radar technology that turned the Soviet Union's greatest strength into a fatal weakness.
