Something like that:

IIRC there is no way to have a mix between tracer ammo and dark combat ammo.

That surprises me. In East Germany we knew that the US Military had MiG's. We knew, that a Commander Bond crashed a MiG-23. And there was a small book about the Aggressor Squadron at Nellis AFB and the Ref Flag exercises. I have it still in my archive.

April 26th, 1986 recon mission over the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. When technicians believe they don't have to follow the operating instructions, disable the safety system, and bring the reactor to full power. That ends in disaster. It is now 40 years ago.

What if Germany would have bought the F-18 in the 1980th:

Okay, a little bit Flak fire here. Don't know, why they dont like me.

Terrible. Always these planespotters!!!

Air targets will be automatically engaged, but ground targets will be always ignored.

Rita was the forerunner model. AFAIK it was installed in the MiG-23 and Mi-24. Natasha was the system for the MiG-29, Su-27. Sometimes called "nagging Nadja". EDIT: After search in a german forum with ex east german pilots and technicians i must correct me. Officially the system was called Rita, Natasha was the nickname, given by the pilots. The source of the name Natasha is twice: One tells the story, so as i have wrote it, as the name of the female TV announcer, who give their voice for the system. The others say: it was the name of a female ingenieur which took part in the development of the system.

The same on modern soviet planes. The voice communication system was called "Natasha" and gave warning informations, when neccessary. It was called Natasha, because the voice came from a famous soviet TV announcer girl, with the name Natasha. When the Bundesluftwaffe got our MiG-29 one of the western pilots heavily damaged a plane with over-G, because he was unable to understood the warnings of Natasha. He was not speaking russian and was not willing to learn the meanings of the russian warnings. After this incident they changed the voice warnings into english (dont know why not german). It was easier to teach Natasha english, than a west german pilot russian.

The video tells more or less the same story, that i have heard during my military time. But we had some black painted cockpits in our MiG's too.
