The confrontation between North and South Korea that began in 1950 quickly escalated into a large-scale conflict, with the USSR and China supporting one side, and the USA, Great Britain, and several other nations backing the other. The war marked the first time jet aircraft were used on a massive scale. American B-29 Superfortress bombers dominated the Korean skies, but soon they met a new challenge: Soviet MiG-15 fighter jets!
On April 12th 1951, B-29 bombers escorted by American fighters headed toward northwestern North Korea but were intercepted by Soviet MiG-15s. Casualty figures vary, but the victory belonged entirely to the USSR, with Soviet pilots managing to shoot down several bombers and fighters with no or minimal losses of their own. In the United States, this day became known as “Black Thursday”.

Comments will be premoderatedCool idea to see again but please do the AB version. Not everyone loves the mode people fled to when the fighter side got bombers nerfed. AB or SB only
Not sure why AB is necessary here. It's short battle, no take off. Just a dogfight between F-86 and MiG-15.
Isn't there any chance we can use B-29A's??? Us Bomber players want to take part in some form since B-29's were involved!
What chances you got in B-29 in this event?
Very interested !
This great! Thank you
Just wondering Gaijin, could you make a wallpaper like the one on the front, but make it more historical and have the F 86 shooting down MiG 15s?
can we have historical events like this that use accurate vehicles in accurate maps that rotate often similar to simulator battles only in RB
i think its funny how in a lot of every bomb size in warthunder vids people forget about the soviet 25KG bobmb and yes thats a real thing can be found on the 1941 version of the IL2
B-24H would be a cool addition, in a new update. Unique chine remote turret!
too bad i dont have any of these planes... missing out on a fun gamemode
