Dr Banjo said: nice call sir ! I`m not sure if they were mach 2 capable, but they were certainly a worry for Nato when they appeared. A very rugged and capable design, I served in Germany in the 80`s and a few of our pilots mentioned these as aicraft to avoid.

The Yaks certainly were supersonic especially at high level and they were used in a variety of different roles, Bombing, interception and reconnaisance to name a few, very capable indeed.

Not seen it fly since they first put it on the jet. Its hard to tell when its LL to be honest, I can vaguely remember hearing something unusual though, like a sort of high pitched whistle?
