Chapter 142 The Soviet Air Force fought very well in North Korea

Did the Soviet Union participate in the Korean War? In fact, the Soviet Union entered the war.However, it was the Air Force that participated in the war. The Soviet Air Force that participated in the war played very well and beautifully. They were led by Kozhdub, the number one ace of the Soviet Air Force who shot down 62 German planes in World War II and a three-time "Hero of the Soviet Union". For the first time, the three fighter aviation divisions of the Soviet Air Force were deployed at Anshan and Anton airports in China, equipped with the most advanced Soviet MiG-15 fighters in the world at that time.

By the end of the Korean War, the Soviet Army had 10 fighter aviation divisions, 4 anti-aircraft artillery regiments, two independent fighter aviation regiments, and two searchlight regiments participated in the Korean War, with more than 1,500 pilots. In addition, 8 aviation divisions participated in the training of Chinese and North Korean air force pilots. The participation of the Soviet Air Force in the Korean War was an open "top secret" between the top leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States.The United States knows it well, but pretends to be confused.Because the United States and the Soviet Union were unwilling to trigger a large-scale frontal conflict, leading to an escalation of the war.

Because of this, it was not until the 1990s that Russia released materials in this regard, acknowledging that the Soviet Air Force participated in the war. In order to keep secrets, many volunteer air forces put on the uniforms of the People's Army. The Soviet Air Force participated in the war and put on the uniform of the Volunteer Army. The cautious Stalin even ordered that Chinese must be used in air combat.But soon, the U.S. military pilots were amazed to see in the air battle that the enemy pilots, who looked the same as them, were also Caucasians with high noses and blue eyes! Only two weeks after the air battle began, the Soviet pilots collectively disobeyed and spoke in Russian on the radio.Because when there is a war, who cares about speaking foreign languages?

In this way, the Russian language appeared in the US military's monitors. To deceive others, the Chinese Air Force called them "Chinese Russians". The Soviet Union and China did not want to tell the truth, and neither did the United States.All U.S. military personnel who have fought against Russian pilots have been severely warned-if they tell what happened in the air, they will be punished by military law! A typical example of "beating wolves with hemp stalks is frightening at both ends". In this undisclosed air battle, the Soviet Air Force lost a total of 340 aircraft and more than 200 people were killed.The Soviet Air Force shot down 980 American aircraft.

In this air battle, the Soviet Air Force also played a trump card that no one has surpassed so far—Pelyaev. He shot down 23 U.S. planes, and also injured and forced to land a U.S. latest F-86 fighter plane. It is the most precious spoils captured by the Soviet Union on the Korean battlefield.
