For some time, the USAF refused to acknowledge that the Air Force operated several Soviet aircraft as Aggressors.
Recently, the USAF invited several Aviation Journalists to an airfield near Las Vegas where they revealed the "other" Aggressor fleet.
But the journalists were amazed by what they were shown.
There were no less than 10 Mig-23 aircraft, in a number of different camo schemes.

The journalists noted several variations among the fleet (compare the nose of Red 152 with the next two aircraft and Black 02, Red 09 and Black 17)

and an SU-25 at the end of the line.

Almost as surprising was the "Allied" Flight line (as the USAF Guides referred to it):

one might expect F15's and an F-16, note also the F-4, but there were also 2 Sepecat Jaguars and a Tornado F3

All the aircraft were devoid of marking except for the Red, Black, Blue (the SU-25) or Yellow (The F-3) buzz numbers
