#3 UPI pentagon correspondent paints a different picture - that the MiGs (29s and possibley 23s) were very agressive, with one of the jets arming its fire control radar and coming within 50 ft of the Recon flight. Apparently we only have 3 of these Cobra-Ball aircraft, so this was not a pretty picture. Anyone with additional info?
