Mi-24 intercept Cobra over Czech-German border before 1989

What info do you have on these events?

20 April 1984, two Czech MiG-23 Floggers fire rockets at a U.S. Army, 2nd ACR, AH-1S Cobra. The Cobra had strayed 1,500 meters across the Czech border.

28 September 1985, a Czech L-39 Albatross fired rockets at an U.S. Army AH-1S Cobra on the Czech-West German border, north of Freyung.

Thanks!

Thanks!

well the first cause: not Czech and not MiG-23 and not rockets, but one Czechoslovak MiG-21MF of pilot capitan Doležal and one MiG-21F-13 of major Neumaier of 5th fighter regiment from Plzeň-Líně AB attack US AH-1S what spies on new communication cable works of Czechoslovak air defence system on direction Nýrsko - Domažlice. The Migs catch the Cobra near Domažlice town in about 300 m flying height and cpt. Doležal start to fire with cannon. He misses but the burst warns US pilot and he quickly runs to 40m flying height and flies away accros the border. MiGs pilots have a lot of problems to get out from mountain terrain and not to cross the border. The fact is that 2mach fighter is not suitable for fight against small helicopter in a mountain terrain in low flying height but the pilots was rebuked for the failure even chief of regiment is talking about both pilots release. General Štorka, chief of 10th Air Army, stands up for the pilots and confirms assertion that a successful fight against small helicopter in low flying height with MiG-21 is impossible, and protecs the pilots from penalty.

MiG-21MF of cpt Doležal

about the second cause: there is English translation of Czech article about that from a Czech webside www.vrtulnik.cz,

and I know a few about further incidents.
10.3. 1953, 11:04 pilot J. Šrámek with S-102 (Mig-15) shot down F-84E of Brown, W.G.A of 53th FBS

10.3. 1954 pilot Z. Volenam with S-103 (Mig-15bis) damaged a US P2V Neptune (somewhere I have large article about that but I would have to search when anybody wants details)

12.8. 1954 some US training plane was shot down but no more info

12.10.1959, Italian F-84F on Hradec Králové air base, the photo was took in secret by one Czech pilot. Some lieutnant De Mayo lost orientation over the Alps and was intercepted by MiG-19s of Czech pilots J. Faix and J. Bureš over Czech-German border, compeled to land on Hradec Králové air base. He was totally confused and his the first reaction to the first word what he heard - "Czechoslovakia" after landig was typical Italian(according to eyewitness) "Mamma mia, mamma mia!!! Madonna mia, Madonna mia!!! Can I send the telegram to my mother that I´m ok!?

23.5. 1964 attack of two US F-102 on Czechoslovak Mi-4 what took the photos of german border area from Czechoslovak territory, but US fighters didn´t fire only several attacks by manoeuvres

january 1970 Václav Bartoš pilot of Mig-19 got the order to fire on german hellicopter, he switched on photocamera but not cannons and refused to fire. He was released from army.

supposedly on the end of the 1970s was shot down some US chopper by L-39ZA but again no more info

12.9.1985 crash of Czechoslovak Mi-24D of Tóth, Horák, Melíšek crew during manoeuvring against US AH-1S in montain border area. The Hind fell down due to air eddy behind a mountain. Crew survived.

ah I see, So LM never have a stake in Aero but Boeing. About Boeing above. At all almost all US companies made only disasters in traditional and old military Czech factories, for example Boeing in Aero or Terex in Tatra. Thanx for God, Boeing was kicked off in 2004 (Czech state paid 2 crowns to Boeing for leaving and had to do recovery plan for Aero).

Dont expect anything good from PENTA. Its financial shark with not always clear activities and it cant see nothing more than profit. I think that PENTA bought Aero mainly because Aero owns test airfield in very lucrative position near Prague.

I know only month of the incident - January 1970, Václav Bartoš with MiG-19S (made in Aero Vodochody) got the order to shoot down nonspecified German helicopter. According to later investigation (the info is from www.vrtulnik.cz) Bartoš switch on photocamera but not cannons. After the flight Bartoš said to an investigation commision that the cannons were disfunctional, but during investigation dialog Bartoš burst out that he doesn´t have a look at falling dead people from the helicopter. Commision made the resolution, if Bartoš switch the weapons, the helicopter would be shot down for sure. So Bartoš was kicked off from army, despite he loved flying, and the wonder is that he wasn´t arrested.

I am not sure, but Václav Bartoš is on the picture with high possibility

But next month they was talking about support L159 production and selling on the other hand. Anyway Panta must (according to sellinf contract with Czech state) preserve aircraft production in Aero Vodochody, and must preserve support and service for L159 and L-39 up to 2025.
It all depends on the conditions in contract. Anyway, Dospiva (one of the Penta representatives) recently visited Libya and Venezuela, so I think the L-159 sales could be possible as long as ALCA gets rid of anything labeled made in USA. From the very beginning I thought that messing up with US equipment can bring nothing but troubles and expenses.

About Mi-4 and F-102 incident and Mi-24D crash later, I must search some source...
