1984-1991 : a young student-orientalist (Andrei Obnorsky) falls along the line of the Soviet Defense Ministry to practice on his Arabic language into Marxist South Yemen.
When he comes in People's Democratic Republic of Yemen's capital Aden, he feels shocked! He has to understand a local dialectal speech - but they learned only the language of the Quran!
Above this, Obnorsky has had to be a translator and interpreter in a newly forming elite Airborne brigade of the General Staff of the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen.
All this during during the intractable war between North and South Yemen...
Note :
- this is the context of the first four episodes. Episodes 5 to 8 are about Libya.
- sorry ! we couldn't say in which episode these screenshot are seen.
Tupolev Tu-154M
Tupolev Tu-154M of Aeroflot.
Mil Mi-24
Mil Mi-17
The roundel seems fictitious.
Aircraft #135
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 (first fighter variant)
Episode 5.
Russian or Libyan ? as episodes 5 to 8 take place in these two countries ?
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 and its Tumansky R-29 (exhaust nozzle).
Such tail's spin was for the initial production variant: the MiG-23S (Flogger A according NATO reporting names) and used too on MiG-23M/MF (Flogger B) or MiG-23 MS (Flogger E) and the two-seat MiG-23UM (Flogger C). Not the fighter bomber (see the radome on the left of the GAZ 69).
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 US
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21US s/n 09685126 (first flight in 1967) preserved as gate guard in front of the Test Pilots School at Moscow - Zhukovsky (Ramenskoye).
Still in the same state till 2017 (at least). In 2021 (or slighty before), she was embellished (and since then, code 68 has been painted blue).
Sukhoi Su-17 Family Aircraft
Too blurry for formal identification of the variant and customer.
Regarding the fin flash, possibly a Sukhoi of an Arab Air Force (Su-20 from Egypt ? Su-22M3 of Syria ?).
