Soviet Defector Viktor Belenko Leaves Japan for U.S.
The Soviet MIG 25 defector Lt. Viktor I. Belenko boarded a commercial flight to the United States with U.S. officials. He left behind a wife and daughter in the Soviet Union, denying his husband’s defection in a prior statement. The defection sparked a diplomatic row between Moscow and Tokyo and provided rich intelligence access for the United States and Japan. Japan’s Foreign Ministry said it may inspect the MIG 25 as it entered Japanese territory, while the Soviet ambassador accused Japan of unfriendly conduct for not returning the defector and aircraft immediately. Moscow lodged multiple protests.
