When Secret Soviet MiG Aces Fought US Sabres 

Please like and watch another video of ours and support the channel. Thanks !

Doing recon: Speaks korean In combat: Speaks russian Radioman: *Visible confusion*

We want, no, we *need* more stories on the Korean War, especially when Yarnhub does it very well.

I had the honour to research this and other topics of the Korean War with Russian historian Igor Seydov (I should better say that he did the brunt of the research, with some minor contributions from me) and American ones (Kenneth Werrell and Earl McGill). Regarding the aerial combat on 17 January 1952 that you portray at the end of the video, when Kramarenko hit a Sabre but was subsequently shot down, I think I can provide some names: the F-86E Kramarenko hit was the BuNo 50-636 flown by Major George V. Wendling, and was severely damaged, but survived to fight other battles till his final destruction on 13 April 1952 by another "Casey Jones" (MiG Ace Arkadiy Boytsov). The Sabre pilot who shot down Kramarenko was, most like, Major William Shaeffer of the 16 FIS, 51 FIW (the same unit than Wendling). I have only one complain: you failed to mention that Serguey Kramarenko was fired upon after ejecting and while was floating defenceless in the parachute, probably by Shaeffer. I cannot say whether Shaeffer was trying to murder him (Kramarenko sincerely believed this when Igor and I interviewed him back in 2007) , or was just shooting in his general direction trying to get some guncamera pics where the parachute would be clearly visible, to get credit for the MiG kill (as Werrell suggested me). All that I can say is that many other Soviet pilots suffered similar experiences, and no less than four of them were murdered while hanging defenceless in their chutes. Have a nice day, very good video, keep up the good work.

My grandfather was a F-86 Sabres pilot in Korea. One of the stories he told was of him shooting down a MIG-15, that was piloted by a Russian. Another great video, I can't see the next one.

The quality of Yarnhub's videos increases faster than the acceleration of a MiG plane at full thrust

THE ANIMATION IS HONESTLY GETTING SO MUCH BETTER!

Since I was a kid, I have always thought the MiG-15 was the most beautiful fighter jet. It fascinates me from all angles. I want to fly in one.

Animating that battle with the two groups of Sabre’s must have been hell, but it was definitely worth it, I’d say that this episode is the best animated of them all.

Hol' up this dude just did a "let Me show him a little trick I learned"

i honestly have no idea how to comment other than my usual "under rated"

Dad has the old PC game called “Mig Alley “ on the shelf in the den. It’s from late 90s I think. He said he played it when he was around 17-18.

If the Mig is spraying like that he should be out of ammo in 6.3 second.

It's a insane job that Yarnhub team manage to animate all those dodge fight and make them look like a real fight.

MiG alley huh? *Turns around on the airfield and takes off backwards*

My grandfather was on this war on North Korea’s side, he was a pilot, but in the naval bombers, not in Mig’s, in IL-4, I guess, I don’t remember purely, he died 16 years ago. He was lieutenant-colonel (подполковник) in American system of officer’s ranges an participated on WWII, on Japanese campaign in 1945 in Manchuria/Korea and in Korean War, but all live for everyone he was only “WWII veteran”, and not “Korean veteran”, because of secrecy of this information. In this war were a lot of soviet pilots, my grandfather told me that they speak in radio chat on korean language for disguise that on north korean side are soviet soldiers. But in some hot moments they started speaking russian and everybody in radio wave understands that he has battle with soviet pilots so sometimes US pilots gone away because soviet pilots have huge experience and were more professional than chinese or koreans pilots. Interesting that now I can find on comments people whose grandparents were on other side in this war and talk story from “the enemy side”

My great grandfather was actually colonel Bruce Hinton, I have a painting in my room of the plane he had . I had no idea that the pilot of the mig-15 he shot bailed out. It was quite a shock.

To compete with yarnhub, the history channel is making a new show about alien truckers who own pawn shops. 😜

I just realise when it said that he died at 2020 it also the same year as Chuck E. Yeager, Yeager died on 7th December 2020. What a rainy year…

If the MiG-15 had that roll rate Korea would have been united in the 1960s. Jokes aside amazing piece of history and representation. Your channel is so underrated among the history youtube communities.

This man was a badass. I am American, but I respect a brave, honorable, and noble soldier on ANY side. Any soldier who does not commit war crimes and follows the rules of war and saves lives, is a hero by my book. But men like Audie Murphy, Franz Stigler, Mad Jack Churchill, Alvin York, and Sergei here are heroes in another way as well. They have done MORE than risked their lives to defend the freedom and safety of their homelands, and that's what being a soldier is all about. o7

4:29 War thunder be like: *YOU GOT A HOLE IN YOUR LEFT WING!*

I swear the animation keeps getting better and better each video

Much later general Kramarenko wrote a book "Against messers and sabres", were he mentioned this case. Btw, in Korea captain Kramarenko served in 176 air regiment, 324 division under comand kolonel Ivan Kozhedub.

That pilot also published his memoirs: "Against Messerschmitts and Sabres, in the skies of two wars." The point was, that over Yalu migs had objective to take down B-29 bombers/F-80 and F-84, not Sabres, so that causes some misunderstanding. Mig-15 pilots from USSR had 3.4 KDR against entire UN air group (including US, Australia, RK and some others), but sabres had around 1.8 KDR with migs that were often piloted by chinese. Also take in accordance that soviet pilots were in minority (like 150 vs 2k US pilots). What was different, that 64th air fighter corps had a part of 176th regiment in it (soviet antagonist of JG52 in WW2), so american pilots faced much more skilled, but outnumbered enemy. Also visited US by invitation from US B-29 pilot and had a meet with US fighter pilots. Really interesting biography.

*when a random youtube channel with no funding makes better videos and teaches history better than an actual fully funded documentary and program channel that's literally called The History channel*

Its really interesting how a famous pilot died just reacently and we didnt know anout it All respect for Kamerenko

The main problem is that the direct comparison of loss ratio between MiGs and Sabres is somewhat invalid as the main objective of the MiGs was to bring down American bombers which they did admirably. Also MiG-15's and Sabres were not the only aircraft used and lost in Korea. Also the statistics based on claims are most likely inaccurate due to inability or unwillingness to verify the figures during the battle or immediately after it, mistakes, double-counting and/or deliberate exaggeration of one side's wins and lowering of their losses - is a common and universal practice. One of the way to get more or less adequate figures is to analyze reports considering equipment write-offs and casualties reports, missed in action after all those years may be safely considered KIA, I think. P.S. I've watched a video today about German accounting of enemy tank kills, even the German High Command decided that kill claims should be divided by 2.

Another beautiful video from you guys! AMAZING work as always! John Luther "Casey" Jones was a railroad engineer for the Illinois Central railroad, who died in the early morning of April 30, 1900. His steam-powered mail train had been rolling in a heavy rainstorm, and he rumbled into the area of Vaughan, Mississippi where the rear marker lights of another stalled train ahead was spotted by Jones' fireman, Simeon T. Webb. Casey ordered Webb to jump from the train, as he slammed on the brakes. He managed to slow the train down to 35MPH before plowing into the rear of the stalled freight train. Jones was the only causality, as he had sacrificed himself to save the people. A true hero! And it was probably why the leader was named Casey Jones. An experienced man who wasn't shy to make it known to everybody around. A bold man with tricks up his sleeve. Gotta love that humorous aspect from a past time. Thank you for the video, keep it up!

1 minute early to the greatest history channel.

Not sure how to compliment this, because the more I watch the better it gets, so I just wanted to say, amazing!

The graphics just keep getting better while maintaining the original sense of animation it had. This is rare, especially when done so well, I must give it to you that this is one of the best history channels I’ve ever seen

Goosebumps everytime... The narration, the music ohhh that go together all so perfectly! One day I'll meet a pilot from each one of these big conflicts (hopefully soon before they are all gone)

THEY HAVE LIP SYNCING NOW?! Damn this channel continues to impress me with how much it improves from video to video

It's a good day when yarn hub posts

Fantastically rendered. Wonderfully presented thanks Yarnhub!

When you realize how smooth the animation is, AND the fact that they upload each week You guys are seriously underrated man P.S. keep up the great work

The YarnHub guy was born to narrate

"And died, may 2020" Bruh, could've told this story earlier!

Y’all do such a good job of creating the perfect clash of amazing animation and in depth historical information all while keeping it short and sweet! Love it!

Dude I really don't know how is it even possible to make your animations even better Like every week I be like : "bro there's no way he can make his animations better than this" And then the very next week it's just sooooo much better Your work is honestly amazing I hope you the best in everything :D

Вижу в небе белую черту Мой "Фантом" теряет высоту. Катапульта - вот спасенье И на стропах натяжение. Сердце в пятки, В штопор я иду.

Привет из Ростова-на-Дону , спасибо за интересный контент

"Бл эк пин к 블랙핑크" LMAO TRAITOR

Great video! His skill is even more impressive, considering the MiG-15s all-cannon armament had only enough ammo for a couple seconds' consecutive firing. With a slow rate of fire, your aim had to be dead-on. However, if you hit, you were almost guaranteed a kill.

normal people: how inspiring! me: plane go brrrrrr brrrrrrr neyoooooowww brrrrrr bop bop bop

In September 1958, a sidewinder missle got lodged into the side of a MiG-17 after failing to detonate, giving the Soviet Union access to our most effective missile at the time. Not long after, the Chinese captured an air base in Korea and getting their hands on some AIM-9's, and the Soviets persuaded them to hand one over. The USSR reverse engineered these two examples to produce the K-13 (NATO designation: AA-2) which entered service in 1961. The degree of commonality between the two missiles was so close that subsequent examinations of K-13 missiles captured by NATO forces showed that parts from an AIM-9 could be interchanged with parts from a K-13 and either combination would still work.

This really is one of my favorite channels. Great animations and amazing story’s! Keep up the good work guys!!

this is brilliantly animated and brings the pilot's story to life for us. I am sure we would have loved it if he was still alive.

You should do a video on the legendary B17 known as “Old-666”

bruh i just wanna say that the animations of the faces are BEATIFUL.

What an animation you've guys, pretty much beautiful.

Another masterpiece of artwork! So entertaining and amazing as always!!!

Can we appreciate the fact that he always has captions ready in his videos

The amount of detail in this video is genuinely insane, thank you for making content! I remember when it was just 2D animation.

Funny thing I just recently started liking old jets like the mig 15 and the sabre! So this is perfectly timed I really support the channel and have shared it to all my friends and they have shared to theres! They all enjoyed and you sure do deserve way more subscribers I hope for a jump of subscribers and you to reach 500k-600k by the end of the year I’ll always be watching the videos!

Incredible animation! Great story telling, the complete package!

Thanks for this. I live close to the DMZ and always appreciate coming across coverage of the Korean War -- fantastic to get some high quality content from you on the subject. The contrails and dogfight animation is superb! Also, great joke included in the Russian pilots' cheat sheet of Korean expressions. :)

I still remember the time this channel was in 2d animation, It's really amazing how your detail evolved to this. Really looking forward to your work in the future.

I love these videos about typically unknown things. The Korean War especially, I had no idea bout MiG Alley or Honchos. More, please!

This is a Great Video Again Yarnhub You are the Best Every time I watch your videos I learn more

2:32 Ammo will run out in a few second if MiG-15 shooting like that lol.

I’m really happy I came across this channel the visuals and narration are very nice to watch and listen too

This is an absolutely incredible video. Thanks for the new and unique content about fascinating stories!

Man do I love aerial combats! Thanks again for the amazing content and the history story you gave us YarnHub! looking forward to more, and the animations are impressive as ever.

Damn that man is a legend... Great video btw

The quality is great yarnhub keep it up

I sincerely hope you hit 1 million within a month You are so underrated, I have never seen such a good narration and animation at the same time

0:08 Waait how is that mig rolling? War thunder says it can't!!!

I love how the crew at yarnhub aren't biased to any nation. Any nation has a great story. They enlighten us. Much love yarnhub.❤

Mig 15s vs. B-29s video would be AWESOME!

These keep getting better and better! They remind me sooo much of the show Dogfights on History Channel. Idk if anyone remembers that? It was on about 15 years ago. But especially your voice... It's like the narrator's voice from around that time. It may sound weird but watching your videos gives me comfort, it brings me back to those times. Keep up the great work!!!

Love this!!! This channel is literally the best storytelling channel... I cannot believe how realistic this channel has become while keeping the Yarnhub feel! Congrats!

For a second I thought this was a movie because I didn't pay attention to who made it and I was like "wow this movie looks really good what is it called" great job man!

Tracers, the fire, the cockpit, looks AMAZING.

Excellent video, animation and engaging history. I agree with another comment at how the animation quality of Yarnhub's videos is getting better faster than the Mig in the video is flying. Keep up the great work.

Much respect to both sides in these battles. Had to be some incredible pilots! I sincerely hope we never have to see Russians and Americans fighting each other again though. Wishful thinking, I’m sure.. but one can hope! 🇺🇸🤝🇷🇺

I saw a MIG 15 at an air show once. Holy shit, what a beaut of a bird

Every time I think it’s at its best,the animations just get better

Man, I've been binging your videos. You have an excellent ability to tell a short story, keep it interesting and suspenseful, and the animation is greatly entertaining.

It's really interesting. Thanks for a good job. I hope Russians and Americans will never fight again.

wow, I can't think of how historical content can get 8000 views in 30 minutes

See the move " The Hunters" with Robert Mitchum and a VERY young Robert Wagner...the MiG pilot is "Casey Jones"...with a paIr of dice...7-11 on the nose...the movie made the F 86 my favorite aircraft at the time...

Great video, I enjoyed the historical views of MIG alley.

I just love this channel!

Hey yarnhub, not going to lie your animation is the best especially when you make aviation video. So can you make a video about when the first American ace in mig alley (Korean war) and the second video is when mig 15 landed in American airbase in 1953. Please give me a heart after this

Visuals are stunning. I am stunned.

Amazing video as always!

You forgot to say about a "black Thursday", "black Tuesday" and 90 lost B-29 and others types of jet fighters

yarnhub спасибо за русские субтитры

Seriously, Yarnhub always describes the story well with stunning animation. Well done as always.

If we are getting into this war in the air now, gotta do when Chuck Yeager shot down a MiG in a P-51B Mustang or maybe just a full video on his war-life, like some others have got.

Привет из России, друзья мои! Hello from Russia,my friends! Lets live in peace! ps. We must dig the "Axe of War" as deep as we can USA and Russian friends 4ever✌

I love your videos, like literally bro, I LOVE THEM 😍!

U really define what history is! Amazing videos and great work!

2:03 That is some fantastic attention to detail of the planes dropping their fuel pods for dogfighting

I really love your vids i really love to listen to your history videos

It's certainly interesting that WW2 pilots that fought on the same side were now flying up against each other in a death battle. Respects to the pilots from both sides of the war.

I'm loving your videos. Keep them going!

ive always loved watching your airplane videos, because for the most part they stick to reality, without any crazy zero gravity maneuvers, but the sabre spin at 1:26 is just hilarious
