IIRC the MIG that was dug up was equipped with a modern avionics package, with components stamped "Made in France" and "Made in Germany."

Get real. The fit on that MiG-25 was standard Russian. The media hype is purely that 'hype'. The same as the hype surrounding the so-called French delivered Roland SAMS. All the Roland SAMS found in Iraq by the Coalition had been from batches sold to Iraq in the 1980s. To the media everything was factory fresh straight from France & Germany. I serve in the Coalition. That MiG-25 was a vanilla standard Russian export. No French or German made parts. Don't believe everything that you read in the media!
