Was there any newer technology used in the Korean War or was it all the same technology from the World War 2?

In: Korean War

[Edit]

Answer

There was new technology during the Korean War, such as the introduction of jet planes.

Jet planes were introduced to the field of air combat in late WWII when the Germans created the ME262a and b versions. This technology was adopted by American and Soviet scientists and incorporated in Korean war jets. Helicoptors were also a new addition to the modern battlefield. The technology had been developed in WWII, but never used in a combat situation.

Another aspect was the use of precision guided weapons, specifically the RAZON glide bomb. Developed during WWII, it never got out of the test phase but was operationally tested in Korea. Was not too successful due to reliability issues.
