Notes

[1] Following the publication of Foxbats Over Dimona, Col. Aleksandr V. Drobyshevsky, chief spokesman of the Russian Air Force, confirmed in writing that Soviet pilots, in the USSR's most-advanced MiG-25 Foxbat aircraft, did participate in highly-provocative sorties over Israel's nuclear facility at Dimona in May 1967, just prior to the Six Day War (David Horovitz, ‘Russia Confirms Soviet Sorties Over Dimona in ’67', Jerusalem Post, 23 August 2007).
