Kevin, to my knowledge the Soviets were the only user of the B-4. The Soviet involvement in Korea was limited to technical support ( and unofficially pilots). At any rate, the Korean terrain was totally unsuited to the transport and operation of such a monster.

Thought some of them were turned over to the Chinese, enough soviet hardware filtered down the Korean peninsula from Manchuria.
Thanks for letting me know.

Short answer is no. Just as no ISU-152 were used in Korea. Lots of wishes, no uses.
