Korean Air Lines 007
The claim that tracers were fired was made by Soviet Lt. Gen. Valentin Varennikov, who headed the Soviet cover-up. There is no mention of tracers in any of the transcripts (https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Lines_Flight_007_transcripts, control-V "tracer," nothing), and the pilot of the Su-15 said in 1991 he was using AP rounds and couldn't see if he'd hit the target or not with his cannons, which is borne out in the transcript ("now I will try a rocket" doesn't sound like he's that confident).

Response:

Upon closer inspection of the reference material, I see you are correct. I apologize for my mistake. After initially reading the referenced NYT article and noticing its mention of tracer ammunition I genuinely thought its absence from its page on RationalWiki was an oversight on the part of the authors/users. I happily withdraw my edits forthwith and without prejudice.
