Re: Soviet Hurricanes - where, when, ...?

Kari, Hans Wind and his lectures are the last useful in this discussion, imho.

None of Wind's claims against Hurries can be confirmed by real Soviet losses, and out of 20 Finnish claims against 3 giap KBF Hurries, only 3 have corresponding Soviet losses. Out of these three Hurries, two were shot down by classic sudden attacks without dogfighting. So I don't think Wnd can be regarded as an expert about Hurricane and its combat characteristics.
