    According to Wikipedia, which is not the best source I know, roughly 50-60 Russian aircrafts were destroyed. This is information from the Russian Air Force it seems. Not even half of these were shot down before the 13th of March, the supposed date he died.

    This man single handedly shot down 80% of all Russian aircraft losses. Not only that, he did this from the after life as well.

    Truly one of the greatest pilots to ever live.

      Multiple newsoutlets in different languages seem to run with the 40 number. It is not that hard to actually check if this is true. Even 6 kills is impressive for an airforce pilot. 40 is just impossible. Why not just say 6 and make it at least believable? Why just fucking lie and do it this badly too?

          Which is funny because if you even mention something postivie on communism people want every source on earth to back your claim. But as soon as shit like this is published, they will have no questions whatsoever.

          ‘40 air kills? Yeah man seem right I did that once in this video game so he should be able to do it as well’
