Every war the Mongolian Air Force has fought
The largest air war over Mongolia, at Khalkhin Gol in 1939, was fought mainly by the Soviet and Japanese air forces, and the Mongolian part in it and in the 1945 campaign is barely documented. At Baitag Bogd in 1947 Mongolia and China gave different accounts of whose aircraft flew, and both are given. Where a consolidated sortie or loss figure exists in the official record it is given here; where accounts disagree, the range is shown and the disagreement named. Blank cells are blank because no figure could be verified, not because the fighting was small.
From the 1932 uprising to the Baitag Bogd clash of 1947.

Reconnaissance, leaflet dropping and bombing of rebel forces. The first combat use of Mongolian military aircraft came against Mongolians. In 1932 an uprising broke out against the government’s forced collectivisation and its campaign against the Buddhist monasteries. A. J. Walg’s history of aerial warfare in Mongolia, published in Air Enthusiast and cited by Wikipedia, records that the air arm’s Polikarpov R-1 biplanes — three given by the Soviet Union in March 1931 and three bought — flew reconnaissance, leaflet-dropping and bombing missions against the rebels, some with Soviet crews and some with Mongolian. The number of sorties, bombs and casualties caused from the air is not given in the sources checked. It was a small operation with a handful of aircraft, but it set the pattern for the next sixty years: Soviet aircraft, Soviet expertise and a Mongolian air arm acting in support of ground forces. 结果 起义被镇压了。. Based on one secondary source (Walg) as summarised by Wikipedia; the extent of Mongolian as opposed to Soviet crewing is not quantified.

The air war was fought mainly by the Soviet and Japanese air forces; Mongolian R-5s served alongside the Soviet air force. Khalkhin Gol was the largest air war ever fought over Mongolia, but the Mongolian air arm played a minor part in it. Fighting began on 11 May 1939 over the border between Mongolia and Japanese-controlled Manchukuo along the Khalkhin Gol river. Early air battles went Japan’s way; on 5 June Georgy Zhukov arrived with Yakov Smushkevich and a reinforced aviation group, and Soviet I-16 and I-153 fighters and SB bombers faced Japanese Ki-27 fighters and Ki-30 bombers. On 27 June the Japanese Army Air Force’s 2nd Air Brigade struck the Soviet base at Tamsak-Bulak inside Mongolia, a raid ordered by the Kwantung Army without Tokyo’s permission; Tokyo then banned further strikes on Soviet airfields. Wikipedia’s figures put Soviet losses at 208 aircraft in combat and 42 in accidents and Japanese combat losses at 162, with peak Japanese strength of 255 aircraft in September. Mongolian R-5 reconnaissance bombers served with the Soviet air force, according to Wikipedia’s R-5 article, but no Mongolian sortie or loss figure was found. Zhukov’s double envelopment trapped the Japanese force by 25 August, and a ceasefire agreed on 15 September took effect the next day. 结果 Soviet and Mongolian victory; a ceasefire took effect on 16 September 1939. Air loss figures differ widely between Soviet and Japanese records and later research; those given are Wikipedia’s summary. Mongolian air participation is attested only in general terms.

An Air Force Division is listed among the Mongolian units under Soviet command; its operations are not described in the sources checked. Mongolia joined the Soviet offensive against Japan in August 1945 with about 16,000 troops. Wikipedia’s order of battle lists four cavalry divisions, a mechanised armoured brigade, supporting units and an Air Force Division, and the Soviet–Mongolian Cavalry-Mechanised Group drove into Inner Mongolia and quickly took Dolon Nur and Kalgan. Mongolian losses of all arms are given as 72 killed and 125 wounded. What the air division actually flew in this campaign — types, sorties, targets — is not described in any source checked for this page, so no figures are given. It was the last time Mongolian military aircraft went to war beyond the country’s borders. 结果 Japan surrendered; the Soviet–Mongolian Cavalry-Mechanised Group took Dolon Nur and Kalgan. The Air Force Division’s participation is attested only as a line in an order of battle; details are UNVERIFIED. |

Mongolia said its aircraft covered border guards expelling Chinese troops; China said Soviet aircraft bombed its positions. In June 1947 Mongolian and Chinese Nationalist forces clashed over the Baitag Bogd mountains on the border with Xinjiang, which both claimed. Each side told a different story about the aircraft. China said that on 5 June five aircraft with red markings bombed its positions, killing two soldiers, and protested that they were Soviet. Mongolia’s government statement of 15 June 1947 said the mountains were Mongolian territory and that its border guards had expelled Chinese troops under the cover of several Mongolian aircraft. TASS called the claim of Soviet-marked aircraft a false provocation. A Ministry of Defence military historian, T. Sükhbaatar, wrote in 2023 that aircraft supported the Mongolian troops in the western border fighting of 1947–1948 but were hampered by mountains and a lack of airstrips. Which air force flew the bombing missions remains disputed, and this page does not decide it. 结果 The border dispute continued into 1948; the area’s status was later settled by the Mongolia–China border treaty. Each side’s position is given as reported by Wikipedia; the nationality of the aircraft is disputed.
