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.
