Make yourself your own Russian AF article. It is fantastic how until very this time some people do not know the diffence between Soviet Union and Russia. Mikkalai 01:55, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Some dates

Folks, i'm pretty unsure that it is a good idea to include events like "1st Sept 1981" to the common list.

Where is it better than any other incidents? Just because of it was the last one involving the Soviet Air Force? There are too much data/speculations on that KAL007 flight to make any mention a flamogenerator. --jno 11:43, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Please check your facts before editing

Some sweeping assertions included in the extant text are unsupported by historical sources, for which there is an ample supply. Please make an effort to check your facts before posting them and please cite a reputable source at the same time (so some other poor editor doesn't later have to try to figure out where you got it).

I don't have the time to fix this right now, but the assertion "The main reason of the great number of aircraft lost was the lack of modern tactics, ..." is quite wrong on several grounds. While Soviet training levels at the time were generally not up-to-date, this was only one contributing factor and far from the most important. (After all, many aircraft were destroyed on the ground, so tactical expertise played no real role in those losses.) Askari Mark | Talk 21:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
