McDonnell Douglas F-4C Phantom - 927th Fighter Regiment, Vietnam People's Air Force, 1980

 

When NVA forces burst through the crumbing South Vietnamese defences during April 1975 they quickly captured Bien Hoa airbase to the north of Saigon and immediately swung west to capture Tan Son Nhut airbase catching most the surviving 23 F-4C's of the Vietnam Air Force on the ground. The Phantoms were inspected and overhauled by Chinese technicians before entering service with the 927th Fighter Regiment of the Vietnam People's Air Force who operated the type until 1982 when they were grounded by a chronic spares shortage.

Interesting, but this would go well with the '84 campaign made a while ago when the reagan admin was in power. These could be reverse engineered or adapted by russian technicians to carry Russian ordnance or PLAAF weaponry. Chides in with Rambo part 2 when the huey is used by the russians. if you can please release, because i really think it would go well with that '84 campaign. cant remebr who made it though.
