I wrote a detailed article about the Korean War in the older forum. I shed light on all phases of the war with high quality footage and maps. But I did not port it to this forum.
Both China and the US have notable accomplishments in the Korean War that I fully acknowledge. I point out certain things to address some statements in a post of another member.
Soviet Air Power attempted to check and reduce pressure of American Air strikes on Chinese and North Korean troops on the ground, and many Soviet pilots lost their lives while providing air cover to Chinese and North Korean troops on the ground. This was by no means a small contribution to the North Korean war effort. The notion of combined forces is not limited to troops on the ground, mate.
These words about me are in response to your earlier remarks.
1. The Korean War was essentially a frontal war between China and the United States on the Korean Peninsula. The other troops in the UN force, without much war value, are symbolic, and some countries even send only a few soldiers to fight on behalf of their countries. The Soviet Union and the Korean People's Army are also of limited practical use.
The Soviet Union did enter the war with an air force, but by the middle and late stages of the air war, most of the aircraft were already sold to China by the Soviet Union and the pilots trained by the Soviet Union. The PLAAF's current flagship flight group, Wang Hai Group, is derived from Wang Hai, a decorated Chinese pilot from this war.
From a diplomatic point of view, it can indeed be said that the combined forces of China, North Korea and the Soviet Union versus the United Nations army. But from a military point of view, the essence is China and the United States, and they are the substantive protagonists of this war.
2, the United States does have the war of expanding into the Chinese thoughts and actions, just, after their multinational 38 degrees line, China war, prevented their actions in a timely manner.
At that time, the PLA did not have enough air forces to fight the war.
In the early days of the war, American planes bombed the entire northern part of the Korean Peninsula. At the same time, they also bombed the border areas of China. The bridge between China and North Korea has been blown up. To commemorate this memorable battle, China and North Korea have preserved the remains of the blown up bridge. You can still see traces of the war through it today.
OK, let's get back to the point and don't stray too far.
