The Soviet Union wouldn't tolerate the liberal policies of the Warsaw Pact Czechoslovakian Communist regime so on August 20 - 21, 1968 the Soviet Union along with Bulgaria, Hungary, East Germany and Poland sent forces to Prague to put an end to Alexander Dubcek's leadership. Romania and Albania refused to partake in the invasion. Initially 250,000 troops and 2,000 tanks entered Czechoslovakia along with air support. MiG-17A Blue 88 wearing red invasion stripes was one of the rare PVO aircraft to take part in the invasion. The PVO was a homeland defense force.
Designed as an enhanced version of the MiG-15 jet fighter, the MiG-17 was first flown on January 13th, 1950. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
