Defection of Lt Viktor Belenko Shocks Kremlin and U S
The defection of Russian Air Force Lt Viktor Belenko with a MiG 25 Foxbat to Hakodate Japan and asylum in the United States is praised for its strategic value. U S engineers gain access to the jet, engines, and electronics, seen as a rare windfall in catching up with Soviet tech. Belenko says life in the Soviet Union offered no freedom, contrasting czarist days with present constraints.
