76mm Shermans owned T-34/85’s in Korea. Typhoons/Tempests and P-47’s would have been the primary enemy of Soviet armor, not to mention FW-190’s.
My next door neighbor when I was a kid was a P-47 pilot and he told me that German tanks had 5 planes on them every time they appeared in daylight by the end of the war.
The Soviets would be able to reach the French border by 1946/7 but their supply lines would be done by then.

They owned T-34/85s in Korea driven by North Koreans. The Soviets also had excellent ground support aircraft like the IL-2. And they had a couple of years experience busting up German tanks with them.
