Not cancelled | Albanian Air Force 1970s | Without - Unfound

[@snakeplissken6110]

Some of the footage is from the 1981 movie "Gjurme ne kaltersi". There is a true story in the movie. One albanian pilot managed to land a Mig 15 without any damages after his engine shut down during a military exercise training.We managed to keep these aircrafts in air even after the relations with China were over and considering that Albania is a small country. This video really made me nostalgic since some of my close relatives were in the Albanian air force at that time. Thank you !

For anyone that's interested, pretty much all the aircraft in this video aren't actually Soviet they're Chinese. This is because during 1962 Albanian and Russian relations soured which happend due to disagrements over marxist doctrine. Essentially this put Albania into political isolation with their only ally left being China who came in and provided Albania with most of it's military equipment airforce included the types shown in the video are: Shengyang J2 (a licensed produced copy of the Mig 15 bis) Shengyang J5 (a licensed produced copy of the Mig 17F (this one has an afterburner)) Shenyang J6C (an upgraded J6 (comparable to the Mig19S) with better engines and the ability to carry missiles) Chengdu J7 (a licensed produced copy of the Mig 21F-13)

​​@@Tigershark_3082 no, los albaneses tuvieron el F-7A, la copia casi exacta del MiG-21F-13 soviético, fueron los primeros que construyeron los chinos (incluso dentro de los primeros lotes de aviones eran kits de origen soviético para ensamblar en China justo antes de la ruptura de la URSS y la RPC). Los primeros se llamaban J-7 "sin sufijo", eran unidades de preserie, aproximadamente 30 fueron construidos por Shenyang a fines de los 60s (la fábrica de Chengdu no estaba disponible en ése momento), una docena de estos fueron reacondicionados y vendidos a Albania con el nombre de F-7A.

Life of a pilot wasn’t easy, believe me. You may would be flying in a beautiful plane but you have to constantly train, make fly-outs, educate and polish your knowledge, and all of that may be wasted for nothing when some mig/etc hits your back from 2 miles away.

[@Tigershark_3082]

@@avgVar it's kind of crazy, cause during the vietnam war, american pilots became A-dime-a-dozen sort of thing. They no longer new how to dogfight, and their training wasn't too great. That's the reason the Air Force got decimated during all of Vietnam. The Navy introduced the Top Gun fighter program sometime close to the end, but their results instantly got better. The Navy (which was using the F-4C at this time) was doing better than the Air Force (even though the AF had a superior version of the Phantom, the F-4E)

[@assassin_rk42]

@@Tigershark_3082 Pilots werent trained to dogfight until the late 60s, when Korean War and World War 2 veterans taught pilots how to dogfight, thanks to their jets like the F-4 Phantom II having guns and missiles, instead of missiles only.

[@moonbear2130]

Phantom-051-plane guy it’s not that simple, the USAF has much higher casualties than the navy primarily because North Vietnamese early warning radar could detect US all the way into Thai airspace where their bases were located, which allowed the radar operators to vector their migs into a intercept course usually from behind or to the side of the incoming aircraft, they would engage one or 2 targets then retreat into friendly airspace, some 80% of kills were like this, the navy had no such problem because they had the luxury of being able to attack from anywhere off a carrier giving the enemy little to no time to intercept their strikes. this is not to say the navy was bad or the Air Force but the North Vietnamese were able to take advantage of the short comings of US information gathering and adequate radars, the eventual introduction of AWACS aircraft would cover this pitfall
