Hello
I made two missions on a rather forgotten topic. Maybe someone will create a campaign of the Blue Squadron in Russia, they fought there for three years. There used to be skins available, now I could not find them. I have reworked the existing ones a bit, the credits of all skins go back to their owners.
I. Change-: On September 24, the squadron was moved to an airfield near Moschina, southwest of Smolensk, where they received brand new Messerschmitt Bf 109 E (E-4 and E-7) and took off for their first operations covering German bombers in the Vyazma area.
The squadron, consisting of JG-27 of the 2nd Air Fleet, supported the German offensive on Moscow. On October 4, the first air victory occurred, with Major A. S. Larazzábal shooting down a Pe-2 bomber and an I-16 fighter. The Spanish then attacked Soviet airfield and ground troops as part of the battles at Vyazma and Bryansk.
First win for the Hszpans:
I saw 6 Pe-2s coming and followed them, shortening the distance between us, I found myself below. I opened fire from 150 meters with machine guns and much closer with cannons, I saw pieces falling from the plane after the second round , the pilot parachuted out. Later I continued flying towards Cholm to join the group. Suddenly, I saw "Rata" on the right. I attack him, he tries to escape in a quick dive, and I see my bullets tear his left wing, the plane crashes near the confluence of the Dnieper and Viadźma rivers. Later I attack two more times another I-16, but without effect.
In addition, Spanish pilots fought with the Soviet Army against the Germans. The number of Spanish pilots in the USSR who fought on the Soviet side may have been as high as 50. Several reached the rank of aces in the Soviet Union and were experienced pilots, unlike the vast majority of Russian pilots.
4th Shift- : From 4 July operated from an airfield southeast of Roslaw. The Spaniards flew Fw 190 fighters and then Me 109 G. After the counter-offensive at Kursk, they covered the retreat of the German forces to the west. At the end of November they were withdrawn from the front.
I read on the internet that there was fighting with the Normandy-Niemen regiment, the place and time would agree, it was the summer of 1943.
Normandy-Niemen Fighter Aviation Regiment
The regiment was assigned to the Polotniy Zavod airfield, being part of the Soviet 1st Air Army. The first aerial victory was achieved on April 5, 1943 on the Yak-1 aircraft with which the unit was initially equipped. In May 1943, the Germans ordered that every Frenchman shot down and captured be executed on the spot. On November 6 the regiment was transferred to Tula.
The first encounter with the enemy took place on 25 March 1943 during a patrol flight. Two German pilots - lieutenant Kreis and oberleitnant Reippza - reported to the headquarters about an unusual formation of Yaks flying over the front and reports in... French, which their radio picked up. The commander sent both of them to a doctor because he feared for their mental health.

Interesting,in the Russian sky, on the air you can hear the Spaniards and the French fighting each other to the death.
