ORIGINAL: Courtenay The Soviets can do one more thing in this war: Strat bomb Japan. Or even do ground strikes. They have some planes with the range. Yes. That's the plan. However, the Western allies are adamant that no Soviet ground or air troops will be allowed in Japan. quote:
ORIGINAL: composer99 Red Army Air Force planes can even base in Korea and in Japan. Too bad the USSR didn't have the foresight to build some sealift in 1944 - they'd have been able to participate in the invasion! Of course, they had other, much more pressing priorities at the time. Again, the allies will not allow any Soviet troops to deploy to Japan. Soviet air support is welcomed and even encouraged by the Red Army. Their pilots need the training and it doesn't hurt to put Soviet air power on display. But, no display of air power yet has rivaled the 79 factors of ground support provided by the RAF and USAAF for the allied assault on Ankara, Turkey. Now that was impressive indeed.
