240:. The regiment was equipped with 30 MiG-15s and was assigned to engaging enemy aircraft that went north of the 38th parallel, and first engaged in air-to-air combat on 18 June; however, Bakhayev was not involved in that incident. Five days later he engaged American pilots, but he did not score an aerial victory that day. The next day he hit an F-80, probably that of Talmadge Wilson, who was wounded but returned to base where his aircraft was written off; however, it was not the first time he shot down an American plane; in December 1950 he had shot down a RB-29 that violated Soviet airspace over the Primorsky Krai before his deployment to Korea. It was not until September that he scored his next aerial victories, but from then on he quickly increased his tally, hitting F-80, F-84, F-86, and B-29 aircraft. On 23 October, colloquially known as "black tuesday" he badly damaged a B-29 (No. 44-27347), which made an emergency landing in Kimpo where it was written off, since the fire Bakhaev caused completely destroyed the aircraft. Due to the high casualty ratio of the B-29 mission, American forces switched to only flying such missions at night. One of Bakhayev's notable victories was the attack on F-86A No.49-1318 in early January 1952, which he shot down; the aircraft had previously been flown by

After graduating from the Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School in March 1943 he was assigned to the 6th Reserve Aviation Regiment. In April he was reassigned to the 515th Fighter Aviation Regiment, but was not deployed to the warfront until August. During the war he gained an estimated 12 solo and three shared aerial victories throughout the course of 112 sorties. After the war he remained in the military, and in 1947 he was assigned to the 523rd Fighter Regiment. He quickly learned to fly MiG jets which were used in the Korean war.

Fighter Regiment, but was forced to retire from the military in October 1959 with the rank of major due to his poor health; just a few months earlier on 26 April 1959 he suffered a spinal cord injury after being forced to eject from a plane about to crash. As a civilian he moved to Kharkhiv with his family, where he worked for the DOSAAF from 1962 to 1973. Having suffered a stroke in 1980 and a second one in 1982, he died at the age of 73 in Bohodukhiv.
