ı had the opportunity to watch an English broadcasting Russian TV channel yesterday and it had some footage of their parade on May 9th.
there were two Mig-31s escortind a Tu-160 and one of them appeared to me to be in a combat formation , that is it was lower and behind instead of being paralel to the leader on the left . But Flankers were not so . Has anyone else noticed it too , or am I mistaken ?
it doesn't necessarily mean anything and I saw one THK parade in 2001 , the last Phantom in a fourship was in pilot induced oscillations ( if that is the correct term ) and it didn't look good . So did the Mig pilot gave up matching his leader since they were already over the Red Square or is there anything more to this?
