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 12nd 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”.

Albeit its the BR i usually dont play, it looks promising enough!

At least they have F-86s in the event. If they had the original F-84s and F-80Cs escorts would be USSR grinding event!
I like that is not even mentioned though that the escorts were F-84s and F-80s.

Cool event! However, I wish they had some sort of reward, like a new skin or something
