"A Soviet MiG-23 had a flame out after take off in Kolobrzeg Poland. The pilot ejected safely and the aircraft has most likely sunk into the Baltic Sea."

During the day, the Soviet High Command recieves word that the aircraft did not crash into the Baltic sea, but in Belgium on a small house. Bot the Kremlin and military high command are furious that the radar system was unable to pick up the aircraft flying over the East-German border. As a result, various high ranked officials of the Soviet Air Force are relieved of their positions.
