Without US air strike rescue, no Turkish soldier couldn't have got out alive. China back then China had zero air cover.

No, American Combat Aircrfat were unable to effectively protect the Turkish Brigade during the Battles of Kunu-ri and Wawon.

During the battles, which took place between November 27 and 29, 1950, weather conditions were extremely severe. Temperatures had dropped below -20 degrees Celsius, and the region was gripped by dense fog and blizzards. This freezing weather and near-zero visibility made it nearly impossible for the United States Air Force to launch aircraft or, even if they did manage to take off, to locate and bomb the Chinese forces on the ground.

You should also thank US, without US air support which China didn't have , no Turks can get out alive in that battle, most Chinese causalities were from US air strikes, Turkish troops were just a easy meal for the battle harden PLA.

Not from Chinese source. Those comments were made by US officers in Korea, not from enemy sides which would be regarded as smearing opponents.

According to my father and Marine buddies of his, the Turks were absolutely to be feared. The Turks had a special talent for hunting at night. They had great respect for the Turks.

As for the US officers making those comments, they either didn't fight alongside the Turks or were thinking of someone else. The same was said about the US 24th Infantry Regiment. Then those pesky facts came out proving to not be the case.

Please watch the video and then comment, especially about troops good fighting at night part, it was mentioned in the video.
