The author used "Russian" and "sophisticated" in the same sentence? You'd be amazed at the latest Russian weapons.

Yeah, but the Foxbat first flew nearly 40 friggin' years ago. This would also be an export version, lacking the Soviet's best avionics. Regardless, we had a Russian pilot land one in Japan for us back in 1976. It'll look neat in a museum, but it's not exactly an intelligence coup.

That depends on what avionics it was carrying. The Russians have, out of necessity, shown less reluctance to export the "good stuff" than they did when they were the Soviets.

It's a Foxbat B. This is recce version equipped with ELINT and other stand-off sensors. Old yes, but interesting to intel as Syria uses the type for example.
