Esta es una lista de derribos de aeronaves , combates aéreos y otros incidentes durante las guerras desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial . Un derribo de aeronave ocurre cuando una aeronave es alcanzada por un proyectil lanzado o disparado desde otra aeronave o desde el suelo ( guerra antiaérea ), lo que hace que la aeronave atacada pierda su capacidad de continuar volando normalmente y luego se estrelle contra la tierra o el mar, lo que a menudo resulta en lesiones graves o la muerte de los ocupantes a bordo. Esta lista no cubre las aeronaves destruidas durante la Guerra de Corea , la Guerra de Vietnam o la Operación Tormenta del Desierto .

Los pilotos de Sabre comenzaron a disparar sus misiles contra los MiG, destruyendo algunos.
