For over 40 years the US and its NATO partners stood face-to-face with the largest war machine ever deployed in peacetime: the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies. In the air the mighty Soviet force always held numerical superiority which was reinforced with new combat aircraft such as the Mig-29 Fulcrum, which matched the capabilities of their Western counterparts. "Red Star" contains dramatic action footage, some of which was specially released by Soviet authorities to give you a unique view of major combat machines in action. Join aircrews in training, watch the Mig-29 and Su-7 fly their missions, and soar with the Mig-25 Foxbat, Mig-27 Flogger D fighters and the TU-95 Bear long-range bomber. Go to sea with the Soviet fleet as the vertical take-off Yak-36 Forger deploys from its Kiev-class carriers, and fly with the latest attack helicopters in spectacular Soviet all-arms exercises.
