As always, Americans are full of shit, as is this show which is nothing but an american propaganda. In reality Americans were shitty pilots in WWII and Germans kicked their asses, while Brits were the real problem for the Luftwaffe. Spitfire was the best plane of the WWII, not P-51 Mustang. Best scoring pilots of the WWII were Germans. In Vietnam, Americans got their asses kicked (which is why they lost war at the end), in Korea same thing. However, Americans like to write history of their own.

better trained pilots? lol such BS. every side is always going to exagerate there victories but i never knew the Americans where so full of it. most of the MIGS where flown by shitty korean pilots yes, but there where also russian pilots flying and MOST of them survived. which tells me that if it was just russian pilots vs US pilots then, it would have been a bad war for the yanks.

@l3stat3 You sound mad and bias.

7-1 ratio ?? hahaha, I love America propaganda and the worst thing is that stupid Americans believe all this shit, They also believed that they got to the moon before anyone else, do you guys know that it was not the moon??? it was the desert around Area 51 idiots, yeah, you are also winning the war in Afganistan haha.

Oh jesus christ

Internet logic:

"Americans = LULZ PROPUGANDAHHHH!"

Never mind that the actual casualty reports do reflect that American pilots (in general) fared far better then their North-Korean counterparts and that casualty ratios were in fact lopsided.

Are those graphics from Mig Alley the pc game?

@Ma3gau That could be true, but you can't win a war with a handful of top Soviet aces. For example, if 20 Soviets shoot down 60 UN aircraft, that could be impressive, but you can't win a war with 20 Soviet pilots.

@USAAIRPOWER Best Korean War ace is "stupid drunked" Russian......

I dont blame your ignorance you are only stupid fuck.

[ViciousCritique]

Funny Nikolai Sutyagin was the highest scoring ace from US and "Korean" side during Korean War...with his Mig-15 he brought down plenty of F-86 . Including F-86 ace Glenn Eagleston.....and Yevgeni Papelyavev was called "Sabre Hunter" for a reason.

Lev Schukin also shot down best US pilot from WWII Francis Gabresky (F-86).

There is much about this war that is still classified but what seems evident is that in the hands of Soviet veterans Mig kill ratios went up. In the hands of Chinese (not Soviets just flying with Chinese markings) their kill ratio was not so good. North Korean pilots were.... much less successful (diplomacy!). Unofficially the overall ratio was probably 2:1 in favour of UN forces but against Soviet pilots it might have been a more even fight but it will no doubt be debated for a long time.

[Ma3gau]

Soviet pilots had 3 to 1 win to lose ratio and the reason americans talk big is that they shot down large numbers of inexperienced chinese and koreans. of course soviet pilots also were diffirent: for example, dedicated frontline fighter squadrons performed much better then PVO squadrons.

[Ma3gau]

The mig 15 combat weight was around 4.5 tons while sabre was 5.5-6.5 tons and they both posessed an engine of similar power: around 2.2-2.4 force tons.

Comparison of f86 and mig in this matter is like comparing a sluggish van to an optimized sports car: mig had higher acceleration, higher rate of climb, higher service ceiling and it could just dive on its prey from the iaccessible height with impunity and such tactics were used by soviet pilots to a success. Mig also had much better arms.
