Re: Russian 'Red on Red'?
Even would-be top Soviet fighter pilot, Aleksandr Pokryshkin, had a red-on-red incident on the first day of the war on East: "On June 22, the first day of the war, his first air combat was a disaster. Seeing an aircraft in the air of a type he had never seen before, he attacked and shot it down, only to notice as it was going down that it had Soviet red stars on the wings. It was a Soviet Su-2 light bomber of the 211th Bomber Aviation Regiment, piloted by squadron commander M.I. Gudzenko . This was a new bomber type that was kept secret even from other Soviet pilots."
