BLACK SEA RIVET JOINT INCIDENT: A Narrow Escape But The Reality Of Air-To-Air Missile Performance

In the last couple of days more detail has started to leak out about a hair-raising incident over the Black Sea last year. If you missed the story, on the 29th of September last year an RAF RC-135 Rivet Joint was intercepted by two SU-27 Flankers. One of the Flankers apparently deliberately fired two missiles at the unarmed RAF aircraft.Fortunately both failed to hit the Rivet Joint. If either had done then it's hard to imagine how NATO would have avoided a shooting war with Russia. Because it involves three of my favourite topics, Cold War aircraft, interception and air-to-air missiles, I had a few thoughts about what happened. This video looks into the Flanker-B, the AA-10 Alamo and the statistics of beyond visual range engagement with radar homing air-to-air missiles. I hope you find it an interesting deviation from my usual material. Normal service resumes soon!
