been supported by no less than twelve fighter regiments commanded by ... Vybornov. But
the idea proved impractical.” Mikhail Zhirokhov and David Nicolle, “The Unknown

“immediately after the June War,” but Vybornov’s own statements prove that he was already
in Eg ypt in the run-up to the war. - Report of July 2006 interview with Vybornov by a researcher for television documentary
