The only notable success was a victory of Kozhedub against P-51Ds, but US documents show this event in a different light. In the other squirmishes Soviets got beating. It even turned out that P-38 turns better than Yak.
Not at at all. You have combat in 1944 when the US fughter from altitude attack Soviet fighters in the South Serbia. US have P-38 and no matter of the advantage they suffer heavy looses in combat against Yak-3. I could tryu to get more info in my papers if you are interesting.

Also early Yak version was dog fighted against allyed Spitfire IX and Spit lost! Pilot was Yugoslav aginst RAF as I know.

As I could remember in the book "Me262 combat diary" was testimony of one Me262 pilot who said also that they attack from height at pack of Yak fighter but "vigilant" Soviet pilot escape and turn agains jet fighter so they have to brake away.

In other hand Soviet try to collect every sample of the West material and I know that they transfer almost everything from Yugoslavia to Soviet Union [there was even two B-17]. They prefer technicaly West aircrafts. I have get some info that they are in some hand prepare for the war with West after the end of WW2.

I would like to ask something- is it true that Kingcobra was dedicated for the defence of Moskva [Moscow] after the war? Is it also true that their perfomance was so good that they get this task.
