Måste vara en Tu-22.

Sjön, ingen aning.

Men de måste ha startat från troligtvis Irak eller Libyen. Eller kanske Sovjet.

The Libyan Arab Republic Air Force (LARAF) intervened in the Uganda–Tanzania War's later stages. The LARAF was a large and well-equipped force, though it suffered from limitations in regard to its personnel. Its squadrons were often understrength, and many pilots lacked proper training.
Though it is disputed how many and which types of Libyan aircraft were sent to Uganda, the presence of at least two Tupolev Tu-22 bombers was confirmed. LARAF's Tu-22s were operated by the No. 1022 Squadron (also known as "Second Bomber Squadron").
The Libyan Tu-22s were second-hand aircraft imported from the Soviet Union, and suffered from serviceability issues; the bombers were both difficult to maintain and to fly. In addition, Libyan Tu-22 crews were regarded by their Soviet instructors as being subpar, incapable of flying sophisticated bombing missions and more interested in their own safety than carrying out their tasks.

On 29 March, "one of the strangest incidents of the war" took place, as Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi ordered one of the Tu-22s to attack Mwanza. This was supposed to intimidate the Tanzanian government into calling off the invasion of Uganda. The Libyan bomber approached over Lake Victoria and aimed at destroying the fuel depot at Mwanza, but completely missed its target; its five anti-personnel rockets instead hit the Saa Nane Island Game Sanctuary, slightly injuring one worker and killing six antelopes as well as several birds.

Var och när?

[Hans]

En Mirage 2000 som stiftat bekantskap med en Sa 7 tror jag, gissningsvis mellanöstern någonstans? När ingen aning, men inte alltför många år sedan.

Det var inte en Strela utan en aning modernare robot.

Mirage 2000 men inte i Mellanöstern.

French Mirage 2000s were used during the Gulf War, where they flew high-altitude air defence for USAF U-2 spy aircraft, as well as in UN and NATO air operations during the Bosnian War and the Kosovo War. During Operation Deliberate Force, on 30 August 1995, one Mirage 2000D was shot down over Bosnia by a 9K38 Igla shoulder-launched missile fired by air defence units of the Army of Republika Srpska, prompting efforts to obtain improved defensive systems. Both crew members were captured and later released through mediation of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Frågan var inte särskilt bra and I put it out of its misery. Frågan är fri!

[Hans]

Fel.

[Hans]

Det var inget fel på frågan.

Men the show must go on, vad?

Den stora vet jag att ni kan men den lilla i bakgrunden.

Då han med det trevliga namnet sett den (tavlan, inte flygetyget mig veterligen) så har han förbud, än så länge, att svara. Ledtrådar går bra. Jag har sett den (byggdes en) på riktigt, på ett ställe som skulle kunna kallas 'idiot' om man översätter lite fritt från engelska. Fast i landet där den byggdes har de inte engelska som modersmål. Eftersom det är jag som frågar finns en fransk koppling.

Det firades rejält häromdagen i landet den byggdes i, ja inte flygplanet som var orsaken men ändå.
