I don't know exactly what the circumstances are, but MiG-15's have a pretty interesting habit of losing control and falling out of the sky, because their wings were too thick for the speed and altitude they were built to fly at. They addressed and fixed these problems with the MiG-17.
I'll admit that the UK did score a brief victory over the US in 1812. I say brief, because they were forced out. Why? Because God himself intervened. BECAUSE HE KNOWS BETTER.
