Re: FW189 losses August-October 1943

FW 189 or "Rama" ("a frame" in Russian) was indeed a hard target for the Soviet fighters, it is mentioned as such in several Soviet memoirs. Shooting down FW 189 was always seemed as a significant success, and not only due to a difficulties in achieving that but also because of all troubles that FW 189 inflicted to a ground troops. "Rama" was one of the most (if not the most) hated Luftwaffe plane amongst the Russian infantrymen.
