Talk:Sergey Kramarenko (pilot)

POV

Three letters: POV. Nearly all the "documentastion" is self-promoting by the subject of the article, and terms like "wrongly reported" only stress the complete lack of neutrality on the editor's part.--Reedmalloy (talk) 06:08, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

A year later and still no clean-up, nor has the author/editor signed off with a signature.--Reedmalloy (talk) 13:29, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

@Reedmalloy: The main author of the article is blocked so they won't be contributing anytime soon. However, I have tried to to some basic cleanup with the citations and grammer and removed the blatantly false claim that he was the first jet-vs-jet ace (Even the Soviets didn't claim he was the first - Naumenko was allegedly an jet-vs-jet ace long before Kramarenko's first jet claim.) However, please do be patient, I have a long to-do list.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 19:54, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Information about the number of air victories of Sergei Kramarenko in the Great Patriotic War is very contradictory. So, in most publications about him there are data on 2 or 3 personal and 10 group victories[6], but in the book of M. Yu. Bykov only 1 personal and 1 group victory are indicated[7]. In the presentation to his only front-line award - the Order of the Red Banner - in early April 1945, the regiment commander Hero of the Soviet Union P.F. Chupikov indicated that during his participation in the Great Patriotic War from August 1942, junior lieutenant S. M. 52 sorties, conducted 13 air battles and shot down 1 enemy balloon, the planes shot down by him were not mentioned at all, but it was noted that by his actions Kramarenko ensured that 6 German planes were shot down by his leader [8]. S. Kramarenko himself, in an interview in 2017, stated: “Sixteen German aircraft were shot down with my participation, three of them were credited to me personally”[9].

After the war, in August 1945, the 176th GIAP was relocated to the Tyoply Stan airfield near Moscow (now a Moscow region) [10]. From this airfield, the pilots of the 176th GIAP took part in air parades over Moscow on May 1, on Air Fleet Day and on the anniversary of the October Revolution (November 7). Mastered jet fighters Yak-15 and MiG-15. In October 1950, Captain Kramarenko was appointed deputy squadron commander for flight. In November 1950, the 176th GIAP, consisting of 32 pilots, including Kramarenko, was sent to China to train Chinese pilots and to prepare for battles.

Since April 1951, the 176th GIAP participated in combat operations against American aircraft from the Andong airfield in the Korean War. Sergey Kramarenko was the deputy commander of the 3rd squadron of the regiment of the Hero of the Soviet Union Captain Alexander Vasko. For 11 months of fighting (until February 1952), Captain Kramarenko made 104 sorties, conducted 42 air battles, won 13 personal victories (2 more unconfirmed victories were not counted to him). He himself was shot down once, on January 17, 1952 - shortly before the regiment returned to the USSR.

By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 10, 1951, Captain Kramarenko was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. Цйфыву (talk) 00:58, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
