Soviet Union
Though not officially belligerent in the Korean War the communist Soviet Union played a significant, covert role in the conflict through its provision of material and medical services and also Soviet pilots and aircraft (most notably MiG 15 jet fighters) to aid the North Korean-Chinese forces engaged in combat with United Nations Forces.
One of the most important areas in which Soviet intervention was key in the Korean War was in the air-war. Soviet innovation in aircraft design, as well as the experience of many of its pilots following the Second World War meant that the 'new' states of China and North Korea were dependant on Soviet help in this area.
Implications: In terms of north Korea the soviet union had a big role of supplying advice, materials, and equipment.
