Mig-15 / J-2 Jet Fighter

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 was a Soviet swept-wing jet fighter that became famous during the Korean War. Its high-altitude performance and heavy cannon armament made it a dangerous opponent, particularly to bombers, while combat with United Nations jets exposed differences in handling, training, and tactics. China operated the type and used designations associated with its imported and supported examples. The MiG-15 should not be confused with later MiG-17 and Chinese J-5 production fighters. A swept wing and powerful jet engine made the aircraft a major advance over early straight-wing fighters. Combat in Korea established its international reputation. Licensed and derivative production spread the design widely, while training versions and export service ensured that its influence outlasted replacement in the Soviet Union’s leading fighter units.
