The Soviet Pilot Who Stole Their Most Feared Jet — And the Price He Paid
During the Cold War, the United States military was terrified by the MiG-25 Foxbat, believing it was an unstoppable Soviet super-fighter. This illusion shattered in 1976 when pilot Viktor Belenko defected and landed the highly classified aircraft in Japan. American intelligence and the CIA dismantled the jet, discovering it was made of heavy steel and outdated vacuum tubes. This massive intelligence coup exposed a multi-billion dollar Soviet bluff and forever changed military aviation history.
