USSR Shoots Down Korea Airline Passenger Jet

Frequent use of civilian, passenger-borne aircraft by the United States and its Allies to test Soviet air border defenses and photograph Soviet military installations backfired on 1 September 1983 when Soviet air defense commanders authorized its pilot (Major Gennadi Osipovich) to arm, lock and fire his SU-15 interceptor at Korea Airlines flight 007, then over the Sea of Japan. The shoot-down was initially denied by the Soviet government until forensic evidence was traced to Russian armaments. This incident became on the most tense Cold War events since the Cuban Missile Crises. American and Allied forces in the theater were placed on high alert. Authorized for Active Duty and Ready Reserve Service service during the Operation Period.
