The below pix were recently declassified, after which someone e-mailed them to me. I am fairly certain one of the main reasons for these having been released is to irrefutably illustrate the all too inescapable point.
What does Blogbat think that point is?: Wow. Iraq can hide huge MiGs. I bet it’s a good thing that chemical weapon components and nuclear documents aren’t really small or anything so that they could easily be hidden. Whew!
Some of the pictures below:
I wanted to add a note at the end about the third picture. On the side of the truck that is towing the MiG are painted the words, "Let's Roll". Let's not forget why we are there, even as we find compelling evidence that it's a good thing we are. Since we were on the topic of that pesky shortbus-oriented Iraqi military, I had to put this pic up also. If you buried your car, what would you be sure to cover before the sand and ROCKS were poured on top of it? Oooh! The Windshield! I feel MIT scholarships coming...Fortunately they only had a gyroscope and an old Atari joystick inside to replace.
Who wants to bet airplane mechanics and sand don't mix too well? You gotta give it to the Iraqis. Not only was this MiG 25 bought from the Russian military, but apparently also were Soviet-style procedures. |
