Wikipedia is definitely credible trust me bro they’re listening to unbiased UKRAINIAN propaganda instead of conniving Russian propaganda

    I liked the single Ukrainian jet that shot down six Russian aircraft.

    Just comically unbelievable but people eat that shit up with a spoon. There's going to be a movie about the Brave Ukrainian Resistance Fighters produced by Mel Gibson with an Oscar nomination by next year.

      Ace claims have always been bullshit. Pretty common for one side to claim more kills in an engagement than opposing records say were even present in that engagement.

        Off the top of my head there are several bullshit things Ace claims used to do. They're more for WWII stuff but probably still fudged.

        1. Squadron kills were all attributed to one member to boost his personal number.

        2. Kills are just when a plane makes another plane permanently leave that fight. No destruction needed.

        3. One engine = one kill. Take down a bomber and that's 2/4/6 kills.
