There ar plenty of such "earlier/better" topics mostly concerning WW2 and mostly concerning the germans, japanese, british etc. So how about a similar topic for USSR cold war tech?

I'm imagining things like Vietnam war fought with better MiG-21s (earlier use of four harpoint wing and gun for P variants) and Ye-152s (called MiG-23 in my ATL), Yom Kippur war fought with MiG-25 and MiG-27 variants (OTL MiG-23), uparmoured T-55/62 and even early T-64s, and Bekaa fought with Su-24, MiG-27MLD, MiG-25PD as well as early Su-27 and MiG-29s, late model T-72 and T-64, and other such scenarios.

Maybe all this can be started by a better USSR WW2 performance, less casualties, less rebuilding after the war, hence more resources to the MIC etc. We know how things went in OTL, let's not get in arguing that alternatehistory is not possible when it comes to USSR, let's just make this happen and explore ramifications.
