A fact from Operation Rimon 20 appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 February 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know
... that on July 30, 1970, Israeli and Soviet fighter pilots battled in the skies over Egypt in an engagement codenamed Rimon 20?
Why is Capt.Kamenev signed as KIA? Only four MiG-21 was lost this day and three pilots killed - Zhuravlev, Yurchenko and Jakovlev. No more. One MiG landed in reserve airstrip and returned to home base in next day, this is why some anecdotes about fifth jet start way in egyptian side. Asher Snir was hit by Yurchenko (who is Ivlev?).
Also russian-piloted MiG-s was SM variants (equal MF) not PF with nile camo as on the picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.51.180.142 (talk) 18:20, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Complete crap
These cold war stories are not based on any evidences!
All "facts" are gathered from Israeli sources and there are no other objective informations.
The names of the "killed soviet pilots" are not proven anyway. Just a subjective article, there are NO objective sources from a neutral point of view or any Russian sources available.
