Good one Andy_RR! You are clearly one who has forgotten
There was plenty of shooting/fighting where Russian equipment went up against western equipment during the Cold War. Indeed, there was not a year throughout the period recognised as the Cold War where there was not actually such a shooting/fighting war going on somewhere...as everybody knows
