Reds Have Plenty of MiGs in Korea Admiral Claims
Rear Admiral William D. Johnson, commander of a Navy task force off Korea, says the Reds have plenty of MiG fighters and increasingly accurate antiaircraft fire. He notes carrier fighters from Task Force 77 operate along the eastern coast near the Yalu, sometimes hitting targets near Manchuria with precise bombing under strict briefing. Johnson’s interview with News and World Report outlines joint Air Force Navy roles and Russia’s air strength, including camouflage improvements and frequent MiG encounters. He stresses ending the conflict by making it unwinnable for the enemy, without detailing antiaircraft specifics.
