Q. Was the MiG-15 used in Vietnam War?
USAF combat losses in Vietnam were distributed as 67 to MiGs, 110 to surface-to-air missiles, and 1,443 to antiaircraft artillery. The combination of MiGs, SAMs and guns was so effective that in 1966, the USAF loss rate in Route Pack Six, around Hanoi and Haiphong, was one aircraft per 40 sorties.
Q. Was the MiG-15 in WW2?
“You have to remember that the little MiG-15 in Korea was successful doing what all the Focke-Wulfs and Messerschmitts of World War II were never able to do: Drive the United States bomber force right out the sky.” From November 1951, B-29s stayed on the ground during the day; bombing missions were flown only at night.
Q. Is MiG-15 good?
Introduced into combat during the Korean War, the MiG-15 proved superior to Allied aircraft in the skies over Korea including the F9F Panther and F-80 Shooting Star. In response, the United States rushed into combat the North American F-86 Sabre.
Q. What engine did the MiG-15 have?
Rolls-Royce
Q. Why is MiG so good?
The MiG-29S (9.13), built for domestic use featured an enhanced radar that could shoot the R-77 active-radar homing air-to-air missile and increased the number of weapons hardpoints to eight. Around the same time that these updates were being completed, the MiG-29s reputation was about to take a beating.
Q. What did NATO call the MiG-15?
fagot
Q. What does MiG stand for?
Metal Inert Gas
Q. Does the MIG 28 exist?
In real-life, all MiGs are odd-numbered, so the MiG-28 is a fictional designation. The actual aircraft used in the movie are U.S. Navy F-5s that were used as aggressor aircraft at TOPGUN.
Q. Which is better MIG or TIG?
MIG—i.e., metal inert gas—welding is generally used for large and thick materials. It employs a consumable wire that acts as both the electrode and the filler material. Compared to TIG welding, it is much faster, resulting in shorter lead times and lower production costs.
Q. How fast is a Russian MIG?
The fastest fighter still in service today is the Soviet-built MiG-25. Mikoyan designed this fighter to be a pure interceptor aircraft. As a result, the Foxbat can sustain a cruising speed of Mach 2.8 and kick it into overdrive with a top speed of 3.2 — not a bad technology for an aircraft that first took off in 1964.
Q. Why was MiG 25 so fast?
That heavy steel airframe was the reason the MiG-25 had such large wings – not to help it dogfight with US fighters, but simply in order to keep it in the air. The MiGs were designed to take off and accelerate to Mach 2.5, guided to approaching targets by large, ground-based radars.
