of course they are nonsense. an american pilot was probably 5 times
as good as the best russian pilot.



The Russian pilots acquited themselves well flying the MiG-15 in combat over
Korea but the fact they couldn't communicate in Russian and the problem of
the MiG-15 suffering from yaw instability problems above Mach 0.87 limited
the success of the plane. Indeed, a couple of Russian pilots tried to
outdive the F-86 but the MiG-15 ended up breaking up in the air instead.

The US forces were in Korea as a part of the United nations peace
keeping forces defending South Korea.
Why were there Russian pilots flying for North Korea?
Why was Russia, still a member of the UN, clandestinely fighting
against the UN?
