Destruction of American Aircraft by Soviet Pilots during the Korean War: Examples and Statistics

One of the first clashes between Soviet and American pilots took place on the air fronts of the Korean War. As you know, the Soviet Union supported the socialist North, and the Americans stood up for the South that was building capitalism. The war of territories, armies and ideologies on the Korean Peninsula became one of the "hot" manifestations of the Cold War.

The first group of Soviet pilots in Korea was led by the famous Ivan Kozhedub, by that time three times Hero of the Soviet Union. Archival documents of that time indicate that Kozhedub used the pseudonym "Krylov" during his stay in Korea.

One of the white spots of the Korean War is the real balance of forces and means of the Soviet and American aviation, not to mention which side won in the end - “on points” - in terms of the number of enemy aircraft shot down. Adding complexity to the accounting of statistics and American propaganda, which almost immediately began to distort the real state of affairs on the Korean air front, attributing to itself "endless victories."

The Sky Artist channel provides some details of the air confrontation between the USSR and the United States during the Korean War, including statistics on the destruction of American aircraft.

What's the difference now who shot down how many. The Germans did not shoot down more than anyone else, but in the end the USSR was destroyed, and the children and grandchildren of those who shot down American planes in Korea humiliatedly asked to send more humanitarian aid from the United States, because there was nothing to eat.

[Catfish]

In my long life, I have never met a single person who would ask the United States to eat, all the more humiliatingly. Maybe you were on your knees at the American embassy in Moscow, begging for a handout, but I did not see anyone there in such a position, although I live two steps away on Smolenka.

Well, yes, the Russians refused humanitarian aid, the official notes in the United States handed over, and they bastards forcibly sent us humanitarian aid and Yeltsin did not ask for more, but knocked his boot on the UN rostrum, demanded to stop sending humanitarian aid to Russia, and everyone sent and sent it and The USSR did not collapse, but continues to flourish and builds a bright communist future. Maybe you will return from your fantasies to the real world?

[Catfish]

Well, fantasies, rather, you have about humiliated requests. Maybe you can tell when, where and in what quantity this "humanitarian aid" was delivered and who received it, for example, I, for example, not only did not see it, but also did not hear about it, let's not talk about the "Bush legs", this is a product and paid for it.
And the bearded anecdote about Nikita is absolutely useless here, Borka in a drunken case by himself performed no worse than others. As for the real world, I never left it, life does not allow.

Ok, Russia proudly, with its head held high, asked for humanitarian aid. That's better? As for "haven't seen", for example, see https://aif.ru/society/gallery/gumanitarnaya_pomoshch_byvshemu_sssr_v_90-e_kak_eto_bylo

Was (Omsk region, 90s). I was a teenager and I remember very well. Parents took it out of despair, because they earned little. Sunflower oil, lentils, rice, etc.

[Kapral Alphych]

It was, it was the case. I remember that there were lentils in the ration, powdered milk and a pack of spaghetti (there was something else, but I don't remember))) They even brought bags of milk powder to school, I remember the Pindoosooo flag on the bags well. We will come running, the cook will put this milk in our mugs and we fumigate - it will stick to the palate, then to the teeth - you finish eating it for another half lesson)). But it did not last long - they gave it once or twice. All the chickens were fed lentils, for they did not know what kind of waterless henna was. Amur region

[Catfish]

Hi Artem. So I'm for something else, Passer-by says that all of Russia was on its knees and begging for handouts. I didn’t stand, you, I suppose, too, everyone I know didn’t ask anyone for anything. And our colleague just needs to be more precise in the wording.

[Kapral Alphych]

Yes, the market is zero. He, of course, turned it over. It was hard, of course, there was no bread for weeks, but about asking someone on their knees, let alone pindas, is a kind of wet fantasies! The people, on the contrary, have wings on what is the cost of the corrupt government and its overseas "partners"! But, we also know how sometimes the authorities and the people are far from each other, so they may have asked for something for themselves - yachts, castles, clubs ...) So that commentator decided that it was because of great hunger they have reason confused, but the people with the Yeltsin rabble confused)

First, what's the difference how much Moscow consumes food, if humanitarian aid was accepted, then it was needed, it means that people could not feed themselves. And secondly, I quote "In December 1990, 250 million ECU were allocated, mainly to Russia, as well as Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. A year later, another 200 million ECU were distributed only to Russian cities. The goods were received Moscow, St. Petersburg, Saratov, Nizhny Novgorod, Chelyabinsk. " 1 ECU, that's $ 1,18. And this is only for 2 years and only through the CES. Do you think these are trifles?

Humanitarian because it is called humanitarian. Russia has sent medical equipment to the United States, and is the United States now humbly kneeling?
Or will we wait for blacks to organize their state in Florida without whites, cops and covid, and then we will talk about "kneeling"?

[Foul skeptic]

You are in your repertoire. Well, you indicated an article from the newspaper. And how does she confirm this?

humiliatedly asked to send more humanitarian aid from the United States, tk. there was nothing to eat

and this?

Russia proudly, with its head held high, asked for humanitarian aid

Doesn't confirm it in any way. I especially like how "jaundice" people select and sign photos in their articles. The humanitarian aid is usually distributed in kits. One picture shows it. But when most of the pictures about humanitarian aid are photos near the shelves of shops where people buy (!) Food ... How can I understand that this is humanitarian aid? From the most honest article signature? Especially where lumpy loose butter But that's okay, I wouldn't be surprised if our "dealers" sold humanitarian aid here. But then humanitarian aid for the end user is not exactly what it is.
About your surprise

As for "haven't seen"

What confuses you? Delivered 7000 tons of goods in several years. Do you seriously believe that this could have influenced the food picture and the food supply to the population? One city like Moscow eats 65 tons per month only meat and meat products. Do you understand the scale of the question that political action present it as something that it is not? Or do you seriously believe that 24 grams of food supplies per person for the entire time raised the question of the need for this help? Have you looked at the pictures from your article? Dragee SKittles - this is undoubtedly the most necessary "when there is nothing to eat" (you used these words) product.

I remember there was humanitarian aid! in 93. We were then a large family. We received a call from the social security office and invited us to receive help (that it was humanitarian, and we were not told from the SGA). I ​​don’t know how it was presented in your regions, but in Kamchatka there was no word where it came from. Upon receipt of course it became clear. By the way, then I saw lentils for the first and last time in my life.

[Sergey Sfiedu]

All the syringes in the hospitals were humanitarian, and often medicines and food too.

[Trapp1st]

Well, yes, the Russians refused humanitarian aid

Do you mean the "give hope" operation at 92 by the Pentagon and the State Department to "support young independent states"?

and Yeltsin did not ask for supplements

Don't waste time on a friend, sincere advice.
He will not understand that the "help" for grain and meat, for example, served to finish off the agricultural and agro-industrial complex, when this wheat (or corn, or rice) was still sold to the population (from which it was not help for the end consumer), but sell directively cheaper products of their manufacturers. Thus, its own agro-industrial complex did not have sales of its products within the country. Bankrupt and outbid. The "helpers" "help" very quickly beat us off then.

............. This is the first time that the United States has saved tens of millions of people from starvation.
On February 9, 1922, the contribution of the ARA and American organizations and individuals under its control amounted to 42 million dollars, Soviet Russia - about 12 million 200 thousand dollars, F. Nansen's organization, along with others who were under her "wing" - about 4 million dollars.

In May 1922, the ARA fed 6 million 99 thousand 574 people, the American Quaker Society - 265 thousand, the International Save the Children Alliance - 259 thousand 751 people, the Nansen Committee - 138 thousand, Swedish Red Cross - 87 thousand, German Red Cross - 7 thousand, British trade unions - 92 thousand, International labor aid - 78 thousand 11 people [15].

In July 1922, 8,8 million people received food in the ARA canteens and a ration of corn, and in August 10,3 million. At the peak of activity, 300 American citizens and more than 120 thousand people employed in the Soviet republics worked at the ARA.

I believe that the Korean conflict "sobered" the American hawks, who felt almost like half-gods with an atomic sword.

Perhaps this also played an important role in the refusal of the Americans from the planned atomic bombing of Soviet cities ...

Probably you are right in terms of sobering up, but looking at this conflict from today you involuntarily ask yourself a question: what should our ancestors do, if in the end everything ended with the collapse of the USSR and humanitarian aid from the USA and Western countries to the starving population of the former USSR?

.... about the whole period of the transition from capitalism to socialism, the teachers of socialism did not speak in vain and did not emphasize in vain the "long agony of childbirth" of the new society, and this new society is again an abstraction that cannot be embodied otherwise than through a series various, imperfect concrete attempts to create this or that socialist state.

[Doccor18]

... you wonder whether our ancestors should have been doing what, if in the end everything ended with the collapse of the USSR ...

Yes, those! You and me, our children and grandchildren simply would not exist now, if in 1941-1945 and 1949-1953 our fathers and grandfathers did not show to some people that Russians are the strongest-spirit people in the world.

[Sergey Sfiedu]

So much superior that the USSR decided to copy Saber. The USSR Air Force in the first half of the 50s could not surpass the US Air Force in any way, it is enough to look at the quantitative and qualitative composition of ours and theirs. On the Korean War, any analysis without using enemy materials is nothing more than propaganda. Yes, in general, this and so it can be seen - we reflected the Yankee raids on our allies, and not the Yankees reflected our raids. War is not won by defense.

[basmach]

For smart people, my regiment (in which I served from 90 to 94 before disbandment) - 523 Red Banner op. Suvorov, Kutuzova, Al. Nevsky Orshansky apib-fought in Korea. During this war-3 GSS-Oskin, Ojai, Samoilov. 5 pilots lost in the Korean War, 102 victories. And no one copied Saber. Do not drive nonsense. They took as a basis some nodes - AMG (this is not a node, it is a fluid), for example, an anti-G suit. And if you don’t know a damn about military operations, it’s better to be silent, in a rag. Amers have statistics, and not in their favor. And after the Korean War, they actually wrote off the B-29 after only 10 years of operation. after big losses.

[Sergey Sfiedu]

For especially gifted and banned in Google - in 1952, at the suggestion of the commander of the air defense IA E.Ya.Savitsky, by order of the government (actually by order of Stalin), a new design bureau was formed in V.Kondratyev, whose main task was to create a copy and launch a series of "Saber" "as showing the best maneuverability. Work dragged on, and in 1955 it became clear that an answer was needed not for Saber, but for new American aircraft. The story is widely known and it is rather shameful not to know it.

[basmach]

For connoisseurs, after the start of copying work, it turned out that the constructive Soviet fighter is not inferior to the American and there are more modern components and assemblies on it. And most importantly, weapons. Saber had 6 12,7 machine guns. The Americans could not master the production of aircraft cannons (and only at the end of the Korean War a cannon modification appeared). Also, the MiG had a high climb rate. The cab on the Saber was better in terms of visibility. And I didn't write about the ratio of 1 to 102.
Apparently in activation you understand how I am in ballet. Read carefully. 5-killed pilots not lost aircraft. 102 victories are shot down (not only Sabers, but also Thunderjets, of which were lost according to official data-358. Moreover, of the 8 Migs declared by shot down Thunderjets, only 3. Soviet pilots declared that 186 were shot down, after checking 178. And what is the ratio?) Well of course in favor of the Yankees and nothing else.
Regarding the B-29 - after "Black Tuesday" on October 30, the Americans tried to use the B-29 only once during the day. Then they switched to night use. Tu-4 was launched not out of a good life, out of despair. a strategist was urgently needed. And as soon as the opportunity arose to change it, they immediately changed it.
And yet, I am not a flyer, I did not write about it, I am a gunner, I served as a PrNK engineer in the squadron and the TEC.

[Sergey Sfiedu]

Once again, especially for you - the Saber was superior to the Mig-15 in horizontal maneuverability, Air Marshal Savitsky was not. The instant was better in terms of altitude characteristics, but the Yankees' altitude performance was on the drum, then we did not have high-altitude bombers to threaten the Yankees. You wrote that Saber did not copy - you wrote! They lied - they lied, it's a shame to admit to myself. They wrote about the "modernity" of the poor B-29s - they wrote, but the Yankees already had B-47s.
It is possible that Mig had some better units, but the list of units and technical solutions from Saber, recommended for implementation (and implemented) in the design of Soviet fighters, is widely known. The idea that the Yankees could not master the production of air cannons is a masterpiece - in fact, they used machine guns in principle, giving preference to the rate of fire over the caliber. By the way, they were rather skeptical about the MiG's armament, considering the rate of fire of our guns to be completely insufficient.
Who you served, it makes no difference to me, next time google before voicing what the political instructors hollowed out in you.

[Sergey Sfiedu]

Do you yourself believe in a loss ratio of 1: 102? This is complete nonsense, read something about the war in the skies of Korea. Now there is work on the analysis of military operations based on the study of the archives of both sides. It is difficult to single out the ratio of the Soviet and American pilots here, since the Chinese also fought, but the overall score was in favor of the Yankees. Cyril G. gives statistics below in the comments. The B-29 thesis is a masterpiece! Are you sure a pilot? Is it okay that this is a piston slow-moving aircraft that is outdated immediately after the advent of jet aircraft? And is it okay that just in these years its copy called Tu-4 was launched into a wide series?

[Cyril G ...]

Quote: Sergey Sfyedu

Now there is work on the analysis of military operations based on the study of the archives of both sides.

Let's start with the acknowledged losses by the Americans in aerial battles.
US Air Force - 139 aircraft.
Not looking for the Navy and their vassals.
The USSR Air Force lost 239 aircraft in the course of air battles, but the statistics of the USSR Air Force, in my opinion, are more adequate.
For
the following categories of losses are taken into account -

A. Killed during air battles
b) Received combat damage and crashed on landing
c) Lost for other reasons in battle (spin, collision with the ground, collision with other aircraft)
Downed by anti-aircraft artillery
Lost for non-combat reasons

Americans are still dimmer and more noticeable
they share the loss
Total Combat Losses (Total combat losses) и Total Non-Combat Losses (total non-combat losses)
Total Combat Losses in turn is divided, -
Losses due to Enemy Action on Combat Missions (Losses from enemy exposure in combat missions)
- Air to Air (air battles)
- Ground Fire (fire from the ground)
- Cause Unknown (reasons unknown)
Losses due to Non-Enemy Action on Combat Missions (losses not from enemy impact in combat missions)
- Other Losses
- Missing or Unknown Cause

Total Non-Combat Losses (total non-combat losses) in turn shares
- Other Non Operational Causes
- Flying Accidents (incidents)

And then you just have to carefully study https://alternatewars.com/BBOW/Stats/USAF_Losses_Korea.htm
And an interesting insight will come in the Sabers part - that 78 units were lost in air battles, 19 units were lost from fire from the ground - 13. The reasons are unknown - 63. But the enemy already attaches 13 sides to Non-combat losses in BATTLE missions, well, XNUMX sides of the lost ones are added again for unknown reasons in combat missions but not as a result of enemy influence.
The total is that 78 Sabers were shot down in air battles, 19 were shot down from the ground, and another 87 boards, that is, slightly less than 50 percent, based on the officialdom, died in combat missions, hell knows what ...

And this is how it looks with us.
Shot down during air battles - 239 aircraft.
Received combat damage and crashed during landing - 32 sides.
Lost for other reasons in battle (corkscrew, collision with the ground, collision with other aircraft) - 18 MiG-15.
Shot down by anti-aircraft artillery - 3 MiG-15.
That is, if we impose American tracing paper - in air battles - 239, zen artillery - 3, for various reasons - 50. That is, where the Americans have died in combat missions, hell knows why - 47 percent, non-combat reasons - 16 percent

Conclusion - I personally believe that the United States cheated in terms of the causes of the death of the aircraft.

[Sergey Sfiedu]

It is quite possible. A m. and they did not cheat, but gave more detailed statistics than ours, who recorded everything in combat roters, try to figure it out now.

[Cyril G ...]

Well, look at the source for yourself. This detail is messing up.

[Sergey Sfiedu]

And the list of what was copied from Saber or was recommended for use in the development of new aircraft is widely known, there is no need to disgrace

[Glory1974]

The Germans didn’t shoot down more than anyone else, but in the end the USSR was destroyed,

I don't know who drove the planes more, but the fact that the Germans lost the most pilots is a fact. And the USSR is on the 4th place in the loss of flight personnel, after Germany, England and the USA.
And the fact that the USSR has been destroyed, I will answer with the words of Bush Sr.: "We rejoice early that the USSR has collapsed. Russia only threw off the weights in the form of the union republics that were pulling it down."

[wow]

Go ask ...!

[Free wind]

North Koreans chased planes on cows and tanks and shot them down like bowling pins, I saw them in the keen. By the way, Hartman was sentenced in the USSR to 25 years for the destruction of state property, in the amount of 350 aircraft.

There are also memoirs of E.G. Pepelyaev.

[Cyril G ...]

Author. You are lazy and not curious ..

Here are the losses of the MiG-15.
Shot down during air battles - 239 aircraft.
Received combat damage and crashed during landing - 32 sides.
Lost for other reasons in battle (corkscrew, collision with the ground, collision with other aircraft) - 18 MiG-15.
Shot down by anti-aircraft artillery - 3 MiG-15
Lost for non-combat reasons - 47 MiG-15.
In total, 339 MiG-15s of the USSR Air Force were lost during the war in Korea and in the surrounding areas.

To this it is worth adding the following - the Chinese lost during the fighting - 224 MiG-15, 3 La-11, 4 Tu-2 (126 pilots killed)

Here are the Sabers' losses, I quote literally.
Losses as a result of enemy impact
Killed during air battles - 78 ????
Fire from the ground - 19
Unknown - 13
Combat losses not as a result of enemy influence (exactly !!! ????)
Lost for an unknown reason and missing - 13
Other cases - 61 (Well, what others !!! the Russians, see above, as a rule, it was damaged in battle and crashed) - turbid data, see link below

Total combat losses - 184.
Non-combat losses - 66.
Total lost - 250
