“Despites its denials at the time, the Soviet Union (aka Russia) was intimately involved in the Korean War. The contribution made by the Soviets was vital. They provided diplomatic support, strategic and grand tactical planning, including the planning of the invasion of South Korea, and essential logistical support. They supplied and trained the air forces of China and North Korea. Soviet pilots flew aircraft with Chinese or North Korean markings and after the war claimed to have shot down over 400 UN aircraft.”
“The Soviet Union (aka Russia) supplied North Vietnam with medical supplies, arms, tanks, planes, helicopters, artillery, anti-aircraft missiles and other military equipment. Soviet crews fired Soviet-made surface-to-air missiles at U.S. F-4 Phantoms, which were shot down over Thanh Hóa in 1965.”
Detail of direct airborne conflict during the Cold War:
Next we'll be hearing a new fabrication; one how your husband, an ace pilot in Korea and/or 'Nam, shot down planes flown by RuZZZZians then landed his fighter next to the wreckage, hopped out and visually confirmed that the dead pilots were RuZZZians!!!™ and not Koreans or Vietnamese.
Yeah, that's the ticket!
