Country:  | No, they never came anywhere near a Hurricane Mk.I. The only Hurricanes they came near were Hurricane Mk. IIBs and IICs and that was only to shoot them down 'cos they were Soviet.

Country: | I see none of you can read. Scroll up a bit, I've given you two sites and a list of the most important fighter types in the FAF. The list clearly states Bf-109G.

Country: | See those Gladiator sorties? What a joke. 2,000 - 1 Victory - 10 losses for TleLv.16. That actually might be a ground attack unit, this is my guess because it's different from the others.

Country: | Theres a photo I've seen of a HE 111 shot down by the Russians at the start of the German invasion. The thing looks like it has 1000 holes in it.
At times I think the Ruskies could of been the most dangerous - a little anger management problem maybe?  Maybe for good reason!

Country: | They needed anger management but they were just poo pilots. They got slaughtered, let's face it.

Country: | Yes, there were around 3 that had talent but poor training let the VVS down. As well as letting their pilots fly drunk.

Country: | I have heard stories of a few flying drunk, yes. Vodka provides courage, or so they thought. They also gave alcohol to their ground troops but in some circumstances so did the Germans.
