Tough Reply. There was no evidence that the Soviets deliberately tried to attract Russell's craft. But U.S. experts are convinced that the plane accidentally locked on to the Soviet beam and followed it across the border. Ground observers who reported that the craft zigzagged into Soviet airspace twice probably saw the pilot trying to correct his original error. However, two Russian MIGs swooped down and forced it to land near Leninakan. There the four men were taken into custody...
