There should be quite a bit of technical crashes as well.
So all together around 3000 planes I guess, 3000.


That's why we are all here, Michael - to read about your "guesses".


maybe in USAF it can be another matter. But in Stalin times
one must be crazy to lie in official reports.

Yah. Better to tell Iron Joe that the latest and greatest Soviet fighters are
being lost in droves, accomplishing little, and see what he sends you for
christmas?

And what's for.

because Iron Joe didn't tolerate failure. This is Stalin, not someone sane.

VVS was doing pretty well against USAF in Koreia according
to any standards.

Well, at the time, the Soviets were denying (other word LYING) that they were
even present. Like the old saying, "Were they lying then, or now?"

There were much more US planes shot down and crashed outside
of NK control zone which were unaccounted for. But i have to
note that our own losses are pretty accurate and we did lost
335 Migs and 120 pilots. So the ration is many:1 in soviet
advantage.

.....you _guess_.
