When an F-86 Chased a Mig into China

- čas přidán 7. 07. 2022
- On September 15th, 1952 an American formation of F-84 Thunderjet fighter-bombers is flying towards the Yalu River, near the East China Sea, on the border between China and North Korea.
Escorting them is a flight of F-86 Sabres from the 336th Fighter Squadron, spear-headed by flight leader, and future jet ace Captain James Robinson Risner. When they encounter MiG-15s Risner chases the pilot all the way to China and then tried to rescue his wingman by pushing his stricken F-86 to safety.

Cool
Great video as always. I’ve always loved your designs for the videos. I will however mention that you forgot one detail about Logan. Once he hit the water the two different rescue craft a float plane and a helicopter apparently were having an argument over who would get to rescue him. The helicopter crew won the argument and apparently attempted to use their rotor wash to inflate his parachute and try and essentially push him towards the island. This is unfortunately what resulted in him getting tangled in his parachute lines and the resulting in his drowning.
Like video
@@ultrajd That is truly sad. Were the crews of the helicopter and float plane (Catalina?) charged with negligence or s something else?
Man.. hearing how after all that Logan got caught in his parachute and drowned a tragic death, never getting so see his friend as he said, is heartbreaking
its sort of goose-esque, his friend did everything to save him but he still sadly died
This whole idea of theirs was an incredibly immature maneuver. Why chase down 1 damaged MiG back to his base when they were tasked with defending the F-84s from currently 3 undamaged MiGs? Kind of a dick and cowardly move because they only did it for the sake of glory getting a kill, not to complete the mission objective. If it was a German pilot from WW2 he would have saluted the MiG pilot after pulling up aside him.
@@blitzy3244 lmao you clearly didnt watch last weeks video
@@blitzy3244 Damn you need to watch the last week video
@@blitzy3244 The German pilot saluted the American pilot and still shot his badly damaged plane.
The fact that yarnhub recreated the North Korean Mig-15 aircraft so well is satisfying

Their models always kill it. They even got the P-40B/C's right with the Flying Tigers.
Sometimes some models are wrong like the Castle itter video on the sherman’s and maybe the phantom’s
@@SenkaBandit We don't always get it right but we've upped our game since then
@@Yarnhub based
I’ve seen this same story on History Channel’s 360 Dogfights show, and it’s a lot more suspenseful when the American pilot (James Risner) who flew on that mission tells his side of the story.
It always is. Man i miss shows like Dogfight
The fact that the show had included the interview of him still live is another thing.
yep saw that to before this video
Iv seen a russian video about this story in 2016
I used to stay up late to watch Dogfights when I was little.
I have no idea how many times you guys have had to animate the F-86 over all these videos, but I do appreciate it. One of my favorite jets of all time. Keep it up!
What if the Sabre 'accidently' drop their bombs on China?
Mig 15 is best
@@chinmoy_bhuyan mig-15 was cool but imma have to disagree
F-86 is king! 👑
@@chinmoy_bhuyan I also have to politely disagree, mig 15 is pretty damn cool but it's just not quite an f-86's coolness level.
R.I.P that Mig-15 pilot. Just goes to show how much talent some people can have no matter the side they're on.
Lets say, soviet pilots was in aggressive imperialistic war to claim Korea. You know what North Korea looks now.
@@antsaurora7540 doesn't make a difference, those men had talent.
Funny one got shot down and started shooting at North Koreans whom thought he was American. Then shot himself. So he gets away and comes back again to shoot down UN planes.
@@antsaurora7540 he just followed orders
@@antsaurora7540 the same could be said for both North and South Koreas (both ruthless dictatorships at the time), but supported by Soviet and US armies and air forces respectively. Neither side was "good" or "evil".
Theres something so magical about aerial combat, especially ww1,2 and Korea.
The absolute skill and experience of many pilots is for sure an awe-inspiring thought. Just imagine being a French pilot during ww1 and you see that infamous red plane. Pilots knew who aces were when they saw them.
I painted my Harley to look like the Red Barron. It would have been scary seeing him on your 6
Now imagine that a Russian pilot who hears bomb explosions at his airfield, a combat alarm sounds, a siren howls, you jump into your I-15 or I-16, which has no ammunition, since the attack is sudden and the planes are understaffed, and You have half the fuel in your tanks. You take off not along the runway, which no longer exists, but across the field, you take off alone, and there are several dozen enemy bombers and fighters above the airfield. You can’t shoot, you won’t be able to fly for long either, and all you can do is ram with a 100% probability of death in order to somehow harm the enemy, to prevent him from doing his dirty deed! And they went to ram. This is exactly how June 22, 1941 began for many Soviet pilots.
My only query would be, "why chase a damaged enemy in the first place?" If the Sabres' mission was to escort and protect the bombers, putting one of their interceptors out of the battle should have been enough. In which case, none of the loss which followed would have happened...
It's a good point. Can you imagine how many bombers were shoot down while they were going into chinese territory? Wasn't a good idea. But in the heat of moment it could made any sense to them. It's easy to us judge the action now.
Considering how good the enemy pilot was, imagine if he survived and lived another day... he would have wrecked havoc on the American lines.
Exactly my question.. ...why risk your own plane and also that of a friend's over a damaged enemy plane?
He was a glory hunter only caring about kill marks going for an easy target. Lack of honor and chivalry.
His actions left the fighter bombers without escort, he sent 2 fighters to chase 3 enemies and caused the death of his wingman disobeying orders both on his mission objectives and on international borders limitations.
His promotion and praise were a PR stun and because he was a good fighter pilot. But objectively he should have been demoted and court martialed.

RIP The MIG pilot that almost escaped
he was more badass to be honest.
I heard it logan in a f86 and i got chills because iv never seen this done so well great job again to out do the history channel bravo!
as a chinese, this is good animation, no fights wanted, respect to all USA troops and Chinese troops.
Wars are our solution to peace people die and reputations change country’s don’t deserve war even if it’s justified
No fights wanted? American clearly wanted to fight and kill his enemy who is running away back to base and kill him even though there's no more need to kill the fleeing enemy.
@@zintosion i mean i don't want a online fight chat....but i mean, why would you let the meat that fly towards your mouth fly away? (old chinese saying, 到嘴边的肉为什么要让他飞了呢？）normally, if a commander thinks they can crash a opponent, he would likely to take that chance. I say maybe...
@@Stalkergames916 You are not wrong, but unfortunately we have to live in this world. So we should still respect these men.
@@Stalkergames916 The darkest and saddest thing is that, war works the best to maintain long term peace afterwards.
He chased the mig15 for too long, he wanted the plane down, he got what he wanted but he lost his friend. Was it worth it? I doubt it. He got too greedy.
Yeah but how would you think your friend would die like that he did do everything he could do to save him
I remember seeing this story on Dogfights, and if I remember correctly they had said that the rescue helicopters sent after Logan did some kind of maneuver that went wrong (I think they tried using their rotor wash to fill up Logan's parachute to blow him to shore), which is what ended up tangling him in his parachute and killing him.
No maneuver, the 2 we're fighting over who was going to rescue him and caused the death... Both crews were court martialed!
@@docholliday4546 Really? That's even more tragic
Right.
@@timbrwolf1121 yeah, Robby talked about it .
I felt bad every time I saw that part on Dogfights.
Had he not broken the rules of engagement, his friend might have survived the war. Cause and effect.
As a young Marine in the late 80's early 90's I had the honor of being inside the buildings on Kadena Airbase in Okinawa that has his name on it..this brought tears to my eyes, we knew we were fighting the Russians and didn't do what was right.......much love and respect to these warriors!
What was right?
@@somerandomguy4607 The U.S. knew that the Chinese pilots were not Chinese but Russians and they kept it secret for a long time, This helped kill lots of our pilots..they were not as prepared..Russians had serious battle ready pilots after WW2
Dang Kadena is haunted as heck. Did you get to see the Building 2283?
@@Toxic2T 😂🤣😅😅😆🤣👻
I thought he meant fighting the Korean war wasn't right.
So two fighters, chased a damaged and evading fighter leaving the bombers and their other colleagues. With the cost of one of their own lives, and two aircraft…. Not sure how much sense this makes, sadly
Glad I'm not the only one thinking this. Abandoning your escort mission to zealously chase a damaged enemy fighter that no longer posed a threat to the bombers you were tasked with protecting seems like the height of ego driven stupidity.
Also chasing it into forbidden territory which could have had terrible consequences on an international level
@@starimari9971 yeah i feel bad for that MiG pilot
maybe he lost his friend because of ego ?
And then getting promoted rather than court martialed. I guess the public needed a hero story.
@@keepsmiling7645 china was already at war with us so not uncharted
In 1958，there was also a battle between MIG17s and F86s above the Taiwan Strait，which was piloted by PRC‘s and ROC’s pilots respectively.

@@huiyinghong3073 That might means escalation of the military conflict.
Yes I knew that I had the right story. The history channel episode of dogfights really captures Risner's emotion though when talking about losing Joey Logan. It was heart breaking to listen to and honestly a heart breaking to watch this knowing what was going to happen and thinking back on that interview.
As always Yarnhub, superb video! Keep up the great work!
Risner’s actions caused the death of his wingman, I dare say a prime emotion coming out is guilt.
Two pilots could have lived if one pilot didn`t went out of his way to chase a damaged mig. What a tale. Nice animations though.
The reason that pilot died was because the people who were supposed to rescue him were arguing about whose turn it was. The helicopter pilot won the argument against the float plane pilot. The helicopter pilots attempted to rescue the pilot by basically blowing him to the island but that helped his parachute fill up with water and then with him tangled in it he drowned. Plus that aircraft wasn’t damaged it was still a threat.
Two great stories in one video? What a treat!
Great video Yarnhub!
"Risner did not get to meet Logan that evening" wow that just hit me harder than a truck.
I really need to also say that that Russian Pilot has to be honered a bit. With all the Manoveurs and "running" away from 2 enemy Jets is really something astonishing.
So basically on a escort mission, the flight lead decided to take 2 planes to chase down a damaged retreating plane. Talking about thirst for blood...
Honestly it's sad that after such extreme maneuvers the chinese guy couldn't get away. And flying between the hangars like that is just incredible, like from some movie.
Russian pilots fighting in Korea was kept a well kept secret and wasn’t revealed until years after the war was over
One of my Dad's cousins was a Russian linguist. He spent the Korean war on a small island off the coast of North Korea. His job was to monitor the enemy air/ground radio frequencies. When he heard the enemy lifting off he would call the USAF and tell them the Russians were on the way. The Russians never figured out how the USAF was always waiting for them. He couldn't talk about this for a couple of decades. The politicians didn't want people to know that the Russians were involved in actual fighting.
I.ve heard this told a few times in different ways and I have never understood it. Wasn't the mission to escort the bombers? The guy ditches the bombers with his wingman seemingly right off the bat because he got one piece of one attacking mig. He then chases deep into forbidden areas with AAA and gets his wing man killed while bombers are getting blasted back at the mission. That got him a promotion? Seems like a pride move as the pilot in the damaged mig was out of their class as well.
glory hound
His wingman died because of the rescue teams failing at their job not chasing after the mig that was still a threat. Plus numerous pilots even in the most recent battles have done this it was only him and his wingman the rest of the flight could protect the bombers.
I remember when this channel was 2D and I was super impressed. I'm still blown away every single video.
Kind of a bad call to chase the mig to China to secure the victory I think. He should've stayed with his flight, to clean up the remaining migs and protect the f84s. Instead he flew into China, overextended and risked himself and his wingman. Yes he secured the victory but at what cost? A wingman and 2 sabers?
Amazingly animated, and the push maneuver was impressive I think though following the mig was a bad idea from the moment he sent 2 of his wing to chase the 3 other migs.
I’ve been watching this channel on and off for a while and getting this video randomly in my feed really makes me appreciate how much the videos have improved. The style is so good now!
My heart was racing when they were dogfighting over the airfield! Keep up the good work!
bro this is so realistic you can like see the scratches on the metal in the plane amazing work.
I hate to say this and my intentions are not meant to be negative but I can’t help but feel like if he had given up that bloody long chase to the literal end and death at the enemy air base then perhaps, just perhaps he may have not passed away in such a tragic and unexpected circumstance. His pursuit after all wasn’t sanctioned or necessary and that solemn ending feels somewhat like what some may describe as “Karma or Eye for an Eye” type of deal and inevitably, both men’s fates that same adrenaline fueled day. Wonderful tale and recounting of these men’s deeds but overall a tragedy. Rest In Peace to those who perished.
I agree. His rash actions cost two lives that day. The Soviet pilot already disengaged and left, and so posed no danger to the bombers. After seeing each other in the valley, they should have waved at each other and parted ways. Then, you would have an American and a Russian who can both go home to share their fascinating encounter.
That Mig pilot put up a determined fight, displaying skill at his craft and perseverence in his character; I personally feel he deserved to make it out alive. It is quite tragic indeed.

Well said.
This kind of stories makes me come back here, thank u Yarnhub.
This channels animation had came a long way and had improved a lot over time. Glad to have been watching this channel ever since i found it by looking for a video about Alan Turing for a school essay. Keep up the good work 👍
I am at a loss for words, these animations are getting more and more better the more time goes on!
The skill and detail in the animations keep getting better.
Loved the video Yarnhub, keep the good work!
Gotta give some respect to the mig pilot
Surviving all of that, just to drown. That's so depressing. Rest in peace Logan.
Incredible work Yarnhub, very impresed 👏
I stayed up past 12 for the wifi to come back so i could watch this episode as soon as possible
I could tell ya, it was DEFINITELY worth it!!!
Thanks you yarnhub!
I am also hoping to see the yarnhub team lol :)
That ending was sad. Salute all fallen, no matter the nation 🫡
Lo bueno es que Risner pudo superar la perdida de su compañero y convertirse en un excelente piloto de combate en la guerra de Vietnam.
When youre playing war thunder and chase that one guy all the way to his airfield in RB
Watch those wrist rockets (sams)
But instead you get shredded by Anti-Air guns.
Thank you so much for sharing another story from the Korean War. It’s an often overlooked conflict but contains its fair share of heroism and interesting action.
As always, the animation in these is outstanding. The planes look amazing - the metallic glint of the F-86s in particular - and the aerobatic maneuvers of the MiG-15 were a delight to see. Thanks again for the amazing content!
I honestly feel bad for the Russian pilot. The maneuvers were amazing and executed with such bravery. Chasing him even though he wasn't a threat whatsoever is the opposite of heroic to me. Even going so far as to disobey orders in order to shoot down a damaged plane is just ignorant
I agree, just let him land
@@redballon8551 What if the Sabre 'accidently' drop their bombs on China?
Yep. breaking the law to chase down and murder someone and calling it heroic doesn't sit well with me...
@@sicfaciuntomnes5604 What if the Sabre pilot 'accidently' drop their bombs on China?
Yeah he could have saved both his comrade and russian pilot live if it was not for this , plus why downing him ? He got nothing in the end but a worthless medal
Honor less reckless Pilot shoots down an defenseless already beaten enemy and gets his wingman killed in the process. Sounds like a true American hero
Did the USAF improve the parachutes as a result?
I had never heard of this story of a Korean war style Pardo’s push. Interesting. I had heard about Americans crossing over the border into China for dogfights though
Greatest CZcams channel ever
Wow. That went from a happy feel-good story to absolute darkness really fast!
I almost feel sorry for that MIG pilot.
I feel very sorry for Logan though. So close...
"Almost"? Gee, you really think the Americans were the good guys, don't you?
@@violetsther3739 ur kidding in Korea we were
@@CourtlandJones1 Yeah, to pretty much the rest of the world, you weren't. You intervened in a civil war to back your puppet dictator, Syngman Rhee in South Korea; you bombed North Korea so heavily that they are still digging up bombs today; you repeatedly encroached into sovereign Chinese territory despite a clear warning against it by the latter, and without a former declaration of war no less. You threatened nuclear war at every turn, which would have actually came into fruition, had it not been for the fact that both North Korea and China were under the Soviet nuclear umbrella.
How you can glorify your heinous acts of abject inhumanity and give yourselves a pat on the back for a job well done is beyond me.
@@violetsther3739 Jesus ur defending monsters and that civil war was between two sovereign nations I’m not saying South Korea was good but they were definitely better than north
@@CourtlandJones1 Hah. No they weren't. Even if they were (they weren't), it still wasn't your business to intervene in a civil war.
Oh you done it again! These endings should come with warnings 😪 but what a remarkable story
The flap animations are getting better! The darker environment under the clouds scene is also very nice. I love it!
The F-86 Sabre is one of my favorite fighter jets and to hear this story increases how much I love them. I have even went to an aircraft museum and stood beside an Avro Lancaster and the F-86 Sabre without even knowing they were there. Both of these planes are now in my top 5 favorite planes.
Will there be new videos for Yarnhub Mystery ?
Yes but we’re really busy with the main channel right now
Eh there is no honor in killing a wounded enemy, he was trying to escape. People forget these are real people
people also forget that if they escape they come back and possably kill some one else so screw all the honor bs dont need it in war
People also seem to forget the Soviet shouldn’t have been flying in Korean colors, but that hasn’t been mentioned has it?
@@hadescerbex9984 damn, he isn’t the only guy who can damage the bombers though. The 3 migs he left his 2 other pilots to fight had a high chance of taking out the f-86s and going after the bombers. Let alone the fact that there were probably even more migs already destroying the f-84s.
That wingman's death gave me goosebumps... how desperate could the man under that parachute be...
Just as desperate as the mig pilot trying to get that plane on the ground. Karma is a b%#%.
I've lost count at how many times two wingmen have to push each other's jets from behind to land because they have been damaged
@@AaronRMG He meant that he's come across multiple videos featuring two wingmen pushing each other's jets just like YarnHub's video with the F4 Phantoms
there is this one, the one with the phantoms and I think there is another with 2 B-17's
It's soo sad that after all these efforts Logan still died
Admittedly, chasing that MiG down transitions from just doing your job to straight murder. The MiG was already out of the fight and yet these two 86s pursued him. With a MiG pilot that so profoundly maneuvered to save his own life, after he was a non-factor for the bombers, it's more heartbreaking to see the 86s continue to hunt his ass into the ground.
It's like watching a fight, and one guy gets knocked out. And then the other guy gets down and proceeds to beat the unconscious man to a pulp.
Its target fixation anyway, tactical objective (escort bombers) dropped for one fighter, barelly worth it
It's always happened. It will happen. When you hunt a target you shoot to kill that target. Killing an enemy pilot is worth more than just shooting down his aircraft. Everyone will point out its murder. That's war. The sound of it the bomber's were safe at that point. As the remaining migs pulled out and in doing so he felt it was safe enough to give chase. Plenty of other nationalities of pilots of have done it. If you want a larger example go to world war two. Plenty of Russian and German pilots both would chase each other into the dirt. This is not an uncommon example. But the valor told afterwards and piloting skills are.
Totally agree with the OP. No chivalry from the Yanks. And the result was the loss of an aircraft & pilot and another damaged aircraft. Yeah, well done. * slow clap *
@@swoop1352 opinion discarded, you drive a bike.
No mercy. The Russians would be danced and gloated at any chance to kill any American. They did it in Syria too
Oddly reminiscent of Pardo's push 15 years later
Good lord the animations and camera angles are straight up Ace Combat 7 and Im all for it
Great piloting on both sides. Thanks for telling the story with exciting illustrations Yarnhub!
Was it really worth it tho.
I mean he lost his friend by relentlessly chasing a jet that stopped fighting for no reason at all, leaving the bombers unprotected.
He was effectively a surrendered party on the retreat displaying surprising solidarity and his death is tragic and although it was not Logan’s kill it does give a feeling of justification for his own death as bad as it may sound. What Risner did may not be a war crime but where kills are not immoral in war he crossed the boundaries quite literally of what should be an aerial victory and plain murder imho.
Just realised I replied to the wrong comment but I’m just gonna leave this here lol
Excuse me but did he enter a forbidden territory by his hierarchy resulting in the loss of a pilot and his aircraft and got a promotion ?
He also was suppose to be escorting the f-84s. That was a shitty move.
@@TeenWithACarrotIDK exactly ! Either we're dumb or they are but something is going on
Wow. As a pilot, (not a fighter pilot) I have always wondered about pushing another jet along when I hear about times when someone lost an engine or something. I always wondered if it would work, and yep. Too bad it didn't work out in the very end, but still, amazing maneuver.
James Robinson "Robbie" Risner was a Brigadier General, a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force, and a senior leader among U.S. prisoners of war during the Vietnam War.
During the Vietnam War, Risner was a double recipient of the Air Force Cross, the second-highest military decoration for valour that can be awarded to a member of the United States Air Force, awarded the first for valour in aerial combat and the second for gallantry as a prisoner of war of the North Vietnamese for more than seven years. He was the first living recipient of the medal.
Risner became an ace in the Korean War and commanded a squadron of F-105 Thunderchiefs in the first missions of Operation Rolling Thunder in 1965. He flew a combined 163 combat missions, was shot down twice, and was credited with destroying eight MiG-15s. Risner retired as a brigadier general in 1976.
At his death, Air Force Chief of Staff General Mark A. Welsh III observed: "Brig. Gen. James Robinson "Robbie" Risner was part of that legendary group who served in three wars, built an Air Force, and gave us an enduring example of courage and mission success... Today's Airmen know we stand on the shoulders of giants. One of 'em is 9 feet tall... and headed west in full afterburner."
Paused the video at a little over 7 minutes to say, this totally reminds me of the story of the F4 Phantom pilots who did the same thing, in fact, I thought they were the first, but this predates that event. The Phantom story was a bit more perilous as I recall, with the pushing pilot actually using his own windscreen. Sometimes we in the other armed forces make fun of our Air Force brethren for having it easy, but they are brave as hell in their own right.
Blessings upon all troops in a righteous cause, from whatever nation. Good wishes to the forces of Ukraine, fighting hard to repel an invader. They are already more successful than many other European nations were in WWII vs the invading Blitzkrieg. Some nations in those circumstances lasted only hours or weeks. Brave Ukrainians have withstood an assault for over 130 days at this point, more than 4 months. Slava Ukraini.
And a moment of silence for former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe, who was a staunch ally to the US, and was willing to stand against the "salami slicing" of territory by the CCP. Still waiting to hear more on that story, so no further comment, though I can't hep but wonder if the CCP was involved. I spent 2 years in Japan, they are a peace loving people, and violence shocks/offends them. My condolences to the Japanese people.
Yarnhub did the phantom video about a year ago, you should check it out.
Yarnhub did a video of the Phantom story as well a while back
Shinzo Abe would not give a moment of silence for the Chinese or Koreans butchered and raped by Japanese soldiers.
Good luck with the Ukranian statement, Expect the land taken by Russia(20% of Ukraine by land mass of Ukraine btw) to never be returned. Also, by 130 days if you mean Ukraine isn't in its 5th mobilization wave then it would be fine, but sadly, it is in the 5th mobilization wave, and civilians are giving 10 days training before being sent to the frontlines. If you think of this as Russian propoganda, then ask a bunch of Returned foreign troops, including the best sniper in the world, who probably spent only a few nanoseconds in combat before leaving(when his unit was shelled). The Ukranians are brave, but their government is anything but it. They should sue for peace, before more land is irreversibly snatched from them.
The real way to win a war is by not underestimating your enemies, which all news outlets constantly show footage of the Russians. The same happens on the Ukranian side too, for example, a few Ukranian troops sold a "Donated" French Howitzer for $124,000 each while the cost of it is $70million.
shinzo abe went to pray at a shrine for japanese war criminals as the prime minister of Japan multiple times and denied the existence of comfort women in korea and china during ww2, is this what you call a peace loving people?
The fact that F-86s chased a damaged and retreating plane, and then getting a promotion is absolutely disgusting. He also put the Bomber squadron in danger and got his wingman down.
If you think this is justified or he deserves the award then i think you must rethink twice.
Also probs to the Russian pilot for being so brave and for his skill.
I agree
No mercy. The Russians would be danced and gloated at any chance to kill any American. They did it in Syria too
I'm consfused I agree he put his team in needless danger but an enemy is any enemy unless they bail and parachute out. An injured plane is only temporarily out of the fight.
I do wonder what would happen if they did not chase the Soviet pilot just to kill him. Judging from the narration, the enemy pilot has skill, and if he lived another day, he would have wrecked havoc on enemy lines, and probably become a national hero of the Soviet Union if they weren't keeping it a secret.
I guess that's why they chased him all the way. They knew he was a good pilot, and they can't let him get away with his life.
It kinda sounds like he unnecessarily chased down a plane back into China for the purpose of fame and glory and got his wingman killed

Thanks. We're humbled by your kind words. We use many tools, but it's mostly Reallusion and Unreal Engine. Thanks for your support.
What a legendary story Yarnhub you guys out do your selfs every time I love the Korean War videos I recommend a video about the Chosin Resevoir campaign more specifically the battle of Taktong pass where Fox company of the 1st Marine division held a hill from 3 Chinese divisions for 5 days in order for the rest of the Marine division to retreat south
I can't get enough of your storytelling and animation
The detail of planes dogfight have been improving alot lately. The rudder, etc
Yarn hud my fav yt channel
The production quality is crazy good.
Li esse relato, há anos atrás, em uma revista brasileira de Aviação Militar. A animação completou o relato.
Ótimo trabalho 👍🏾
Фантастика!!))) В жизни так быть не может по определению!!)))))
He performed Pardo's push before it was cool
Very cool, I love your animations and the retelling of heroics in war!
I would like to a see a video about Witold Pilecki, a polish soldier who fought in the polish-soviet war, the defense of Poland and then he joined the polish resistance. Co-founding the Secret Polish Army himself. In 1940 he volunteered to allow himself to be captured by the occupying Germans in order to infiltrate auschwitz concentration camp. At auschwitz Pilecki organized a resistance movement that eventually included hundreds of inmates, and he secretly drew up reports detailing the German atrocities at the camp, which we’re smuggled out to Home Army headquarters and shared with the western allies. After escaping from auschwitz, Pilecki fought in the Warsaw Uprising of August-October 1944. Following it’s suppression, he was interned at a German pow camp. After the communist takeover of Poland he remained loyal to the London-based Polish-Government-In-Exile. In 1945 he returned to Poland to report to the government-in-exile on the situation in Poland. Before returning, Pilecki wrote Witold’s Report about his experiences In auschwitz, anticipating that he might be killed by Poland’s new communist authorities. In 1947 he was arrested by the secret police on charges of working for “Foreign Imperialism” and after being subject to torture and a show trial, was executed in 1948.
This is a story that I believe should be told, it really shows how fierce Poland was even after it’s fall, detailing about polish life during WW2, this story was also inconveniently remained for several decades, That’s all
Let’s goooooo, a new video. Have been waiting so long.
That Russian ace was Awesome
Completely insane call by the F-86 pilots. They could've escalated this from a crazy dog fight to nuclear exchange as the relationship between Russia and China hadn't soured yet.
This channel is my perfect partner for breakfast
So, I watched the History Channel's Dogfight Episode on this, and may I say the animation on this video is far superior. Great Work Yarnhubb,
Great video as always yarnhub love hearing about theese stories that we don't hear much of love the naval content you have put out I would love to see a video about the Royal Navy sub that sunk a submerged U Boat during ww2
Amazing historical stories as always.. I love these sort of videos. They so much more interesting than just reading history books.
So he broke off from objective, to chase down a bandit that was already disengaging just for the sake of the pride of shooting down an enemy plane? And it cost his wingman's life? Why was this rewarded? No doubt he's a good pilot but if you ask me there's no way in hell anyone should be promoted for glory hunting like that. All he really seemed to do was lead to two people dying that really didn't need to
@@pancho7647 they were escorting a bomber formation, meaning they were tasked with driving away any potential attackers. The damaged MiG-15 was already disengaging, so the correct course of action would be to stay with the formation in case of further attack.
Already disengaging . Also means they can re-engage
Got to admit, you got a point.
Wonder who the enemy pilot was? The enemy pilot seemed very skilled / experienced, until battle damage inflicted on the MIG caused his demise.
@@RichMcc then just run them off again. Don’t chase a single enemy down if it threatens your bombers.
I personally, think that cinnamon buns are icky.
I found this channel when i watched the video “when a U-2 fell to earth” i was in for a big suprise.
"He is not heavy, he is my brother..."
Another great video as usual
I’m would say the f-86s are very class then the mig 15s great story yarnhub. Please do the story of b-29 vs mig 15 during the Black Thursday.
6:01 average war thunder pilot when the fuel start to run outs
imagining this live gives me crazy goosebumps and I know I cant even closely imagine how crazy that had to be
Amazing YH. Your videos just keep getting better and better, what a beautiful way to tell this story.
This act of valor is most deserving of such effort.
Thank you!
Risner was a pilot of incredible skill, but in chasing the Lone MIG, he had made a foolish decision on 2x counts.
He used 2/4 aircraft to chase one single vulnerable MIG that was leaving the combat area. This was an act of gloryhunting instead of what is best for the team. By leaving the other 2x friendlies to chase 3x MIGs, he had put them in danger, as 1x of the MIGs could break off from the group to get behind one of the Americans.
Risner put himself and his wingman into danger by continuing to chase the enemy pilot into airspace where American pilots were not allowed to go, even as far as the enemy airbase itself. This is only more proof that his actions were entirely about seeking glory.
Risner could not have known that Logan would die that day, but if he had put the team before himself, then 2x great men would probably have lived that day; the Russian pilot of great skill, and Logan.
RIP Logan.
Would thumbs up this comment but it’s kinda messed up how you only mourn one of two highly skilled men with families and dreams/goals. RIP the Russian pilot desperately trying to land & exit the plane, the Americans should have gathered the enemy base reconnaissance and reported it back to higher ups to send actual bombers/fighter-bombers to deal with it safely and effectively. Logan’s life was simply wasted, serves him right.
@@jaysmechs2457 it was a Chinese Airbase they couldn’t just bomb it. That’s why the airspace they were flying in was prohibited. Also I don’t understand why people expect respect and honor in war. War is a horrible tragedy and to think there is kindness between enemies is foolish.
@@lordofstraw4323 that’s a good opinion but it doesn’t change mine. Their job was to escort the f104 strike fighters. They disobeyed orders most likely to go home with a kill and boost reputation, thus a life was lost in the process. I don’t care what your herd mentality makes you believe, this was a murder and possibly a war crime. Not sure if the Chinese were involved in the war, but even they had to shoot at the American pilots for them to f### off but no matter what, they wouldn’t let up for some reason I just don’t understand. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
@@jaysmechs2457 China was involved in the war they saved North Korea.
@@lordofstraw4323 thank you for this knowledge!
Logan saying see you at the base tonight then, while even being a great swimmer gets tangled in his chute and drowns is depressing
Almost looks like a mix of your amazing animation and well edited War Thunder footage
