MiG-31 Foxhound Meets F-16AM

Scott Wolff 1 Comment Military Aviation

A close encounter between a MiG-31 Foxhound of the Russian Air Force (Военно-воздушные cилы России) and a Royal Norwegian Air Force F-16AM. Dangerous, or a simply a funny way to say hello?

There’s pushing the edge, and then there’s this. It’s like an eighteen-wheeler forcing its way into the turn lane in front of your sedan–and then slamming on its brakes. Great SA on the part of the RNoAF Viper driver to get out of the way before a collision occurred. Absolutely reckless behavior on the part of the Russian pilot.

On the other hand, what self-respecting fighter pilot knowingly and WILLINGLY puts an adversary at his six o’clock position?

Thoughts??
