I lost control on black ice in New Jersey (USA) on 287 North bound side over 15 years ago. I was going 60 mph (100 kph). The trick in most cars is you need to turn with the spin of the car not against it. I did 3 to 4 360 degree spins, and continued on my way. Thank God no one was near me on the road at the time. Years of practice made me know what to do.

You're right about the slippage of the tires. Once they start to slip, get them to not slip as best as you can.
