The Soviets rammed also,

"Soviet pilots often used the taran attack, ramming a German aircraft, if all else failed. The taran was not a suicide maneuver except in the most extreme of circumstances. There were three types of taran attacks; the first was to use the prop of the Soviet aircraft to damage the tail of the opposing aircraft, with the idea that damage to the rudder or elevators would cause the enemy aircraft to lose control. The second was to ram a wing into the control surfaces of the enemy aircraft or to tip your wing into the enemy's wing so that he lost control. Both of these gave the attacking pilot at least a chance of surviving. The third was to deliberately fly into the enemy aircraft, which was, in essence, a suicide maneuver. Some Polikarpov I-16s were fitted with armored props to help them withstand the dangers of making a taran attack. There were 561 taran attacks carried out by the VVS during the Great Patriotic War. 6 Soviet pilots died in 11 taran attacks against the Finnish Air Force.Two of the attacks deserve special mention - one was in 1945 against the Japanese and one was by a woman, Yekaterina Zelenko, who on September 12, 1941, rammed a Bf 109 with her Sukhoi Su-2."
