Russian fighter turns above me for easy shot (5)

I believe the answer is:

gimme

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for easy shot' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'russian fighter turns above me' is the wordplay.
'russian fighter' becomes 'MiG' (Russian fighter plane manufacturer).
'turns' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'above' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go above others).
'mig' written backwards gives 'gim'.
'gim'+'me'='GIMME'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gimme that I've seen before include "Green concession" , "Hand (it) to me (informal)" , "Very easy putt" , "Putting piece of cake" , "I rudely demand" .)
