NATO names for soviet fighters and interceptors

The NATO name of the Yak-28 bomber was indeed BREWER, but the NATO name for the Yak-28P interceptor was FIREBAR. Names for bombers start with 'B', names for fighters and interceptors start with 'F'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xblurt (talk • contribs) 21:02, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to SR-71 operations in the Artic region

The claim that "The base developed an interceptor role during the 1960s, partly to deter SR-71 operations in the Arctic region." is problematic. The Yak-28P (Firebar) and the Tu-128 (Fiddler) did not have the capability to intercept a Lockheed SR-71, and this throws the whole sentence into question. The aircraft mentioned did have a capability against slower, lower flying aircraft, and would have posed a serious threat to RC-135 aircraft. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xblurt (talk • contribs) 22:19, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
