Global Connections ๐ฅ MILITARY WORLD #124 ๐ฅ This historical documentary tells the unbelievable true story of Mathias Rust, the 18-year-old West German pilot who flew a small Cessna 172 D-ECJB through the heart of the Soviet Union’s air defense system and landed near Red Square in Moscow in 1987. During the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union had the most powerful and heavily funded air defense network in the world. Thousands of radar stations, interceptor jets, and missile batteries were designed to stop any unauthorized aircraft long before it reached Soviet territory. ๐ซ๐ฎ ๐ท๐บ | FLYGCAVIATIONNETWORKUK.ORG ๐ฌ๐ง
