Re: Soviet victory claims before 22 VI 1941?
Hello Mirek
on Soviet claim during Winter War, even if old Soviet claim was that FAF lost 650 a/c during the winter war, only 427 aerial victories were said to be claimed by Soviet air forces. According to modern research there were only 388 claims: 188 by fighter pilots, 146 by air gunners and 54 by VVS KBF(43 by fighters and 11 by air gunners). We know that air gunner claims were much inflated so Soviet fighter pilots' claims were not so outlandish.
