They were better than the Chinese pilots, and if you believe Soviet claims,
they shot down near the entire production run of F-86s. g


of course they are nonsense. an american pilot was probably 5 times
as good as the best russian pilot.

Just out of curious how do you come out with the claim the American pilot
was 5
time as good as the best russian pilot, I think you are talking rubbish.

One thing we do know...the Mig 15 was pretty useless unless it had the
British Rolls-Royce engine in it...which BTW, the design was stolen from a
German prototype. The Mig 15 wasn't really a Russian aircraft, it was much
more German in its origins.

id est..the design for the engine was stolen from the Brits. The design for
the aircraft was stolen from the Germans.

Not so much stolen as given away. The post war UK
government sold a small number of engines to the
USSR hoping for a larger order. All they did was
copy it.

None of the above are necesarily true at that time.

The Russian pilots acquited themselves well flying the MiG-15 in combat over
Korea but the fact they couldn't communicate in Russian and the problem of
the MiG-15 suffering from yaw instability problems above Mach 0.87 limited
the success of the plane. Indeed, a couple of Russian pilots tried to
outdive the F-86 but the MiG-15 ended up breaking up in the air instead.
