When this Russian pilot was resting in a room provided by the Japanese authorities, he looked up at the smoke detector mounted on the ceiling and thought 'Damn it, the enemies are watching me and do not bother hiding their camera'.
Thanks for this episode. Belenko’s Mig25 defection is well-known, but I hadn’t heard about what happened to him afterwards-at least he wasn’t assassinated by the KGB and seemed to have led a peaceful existence until his death. Ironically, although the Foxbat was a FAKE “super fighter,” it actually ushered in a true super fighter in the F15 specifically designed to defeat the mythical opponent. Very similar to the 10 or so hypersonic weapons being developed by the US that will surpass their much hyped Russian and Chinese counterparts soon, I think.
