That should not have been that much problem.

Don't you think that these clashes can't illustrate anything as far Americans really and suddenly attacked what they suspected to be an enemy, and Soviets defended of their allies?

In both cases both sides claim they were suddenly attacked. The reports of both sides are a very interesting reading and it is extremelly hard if not impossible to find out what really had happenned, but the fact is - the Yaks were decimated.
BTW
Frankly, it is interesting, that while there are many accounts of Allied aircraft bounced by Soviets, there are indeed very few on the opposite.

Nice shot, Franek! In 1942 the Finns claimed Spitfires and they actually were... Yak-1s. And again - 9 'spitfires' were claimed for no actual loss on Soviet side.

Perhaps those were Finnish Spitfires. So, what about Hurricanes?
