Скачать или смотреть The Hidden Soviet Role in the Korean War

Officially, the Soviet Union wasn’t in the Korean War. In reality, thousands of Soviet personnel were directly involved.

The 64th Fighter Aviation Corps, based across the Yalu River in China, flew missions in “MiG Alley” against U.S. Sabres and B-29s—posing as Chinese pilots if shot down. At any given time, two full Soviet air divisions defended North Korea.

In total, 3,000–5,000 Soviet pilots, radar operators, and anti-aircraft crews served during the war, scoring hundreds of kills and forcing the U.S. to change its bombing tactics.

In our linked Short, we dive deeper into this aerial struggle: Did the Soviet-built MiG-15 really outperform American planes in Korea?
