Yeah, every new Soviet weapon was treated as a potential game changer. I remember when the first MiG-29 and SU-27 photos (from spy sats) came out. There was all kinds of wild and alarmist speculation. It was kind of fun being so freaked out by the Soviets!
And Paul, mad props to you for your new sig. The Golden Child is a forgotten '80s classic. Viva Nepal!
