Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 Fagot

Designed to meet a Soviet Air Force requirement for a high-performance jet fighter, the MiG-15 was first flown on December 30, 1947. The MiG-15 was used by several communist nations-including the USSR and North Korea-and was one of the first truly successful swept-wing fighters. It could shoot down heavy bombers and could climb faster and higher than its American rival, the F-86. Fortunately for the F-86, it also turned poorly and had high mach instability, which limited it as a dogfighter. It was poorly matched with the F-86 but excelled in its role as a bomber interceptor, frequently preventing B-29s from operating during the day.

The Russian turbo jet fighter was used during the Korean War. This jet featured a 35° of wing sweep making it fairly maneuverable. One problem was a lack of a power plant but the problem was solved when the British government allowed Rolls-Royce to supply the MIG 15 engines. The Soviets quickly copied the engine and by 1949 it was in full production.
