FPSOlkor is on a distinguished road
Dogfight on 20 may 51 and ammo explosions

As far as I could find out on this date there was a fight between VVS and USAF, where VVS lost 1 MiG (Nazarkin) with another 1 damaged (Zykov - WIA) while claiming 3 F-86s.
USAF admitted having 2 (3?) F-86s damaged due to "ammo explosion" - Weil, Nelson, Roberts? There is a suggestion that Kirisov could have hit Nelson, causing ammo to explode. At the guncam stills F-86 is smoking, possibly hit. Any thoughts?
