* AccidentallyAccurate: in a half-meta, half-InUniverse example that sits squarely astride the FourthWall. NATO intel in the book had evaluated Soviet [[ReportingNames Tu-22 "Blinder"]] bombers as being unable to carry missiles, which is disproven when a "Blinder" regiment raids [[HomeBase Stornoway airbase]] with a missile attack. As it turns out, RealLife Tu-22s ''could'' carry missiles, as the Iraqis proved in the UsefulNotes/IranIraqWar.
