Ther were a couple cases of it happaning in the vietnam and koeran wars. They could turn tighter and fly slower, which ment some jet pilots ended in the crosshairs of there gunsights if they hadn't paid attenion!

The fact the these older aircraft had guns, when the american jet fighters of the day (F-4's, early verisons) didn't, often helped them survive as they could put up a godd defence in the right hands.
