The
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (
NATO reporting name Fagot) was a
jet fighter developed for the
USSR by
Artem Mikoyan and
Mikhail Gurevich. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful
swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where it outclassed all enemy fighters except the
F-86 Sabre. The MiG-15 also served as the starting point for development of the more advanced
MiG-17 which would oppose American fighters over Vietnam in the 1960s. The MiG-15 is believed to have been the most numerous jet aircraft ever made, with over 12,000 built (and licensed foreign production perhaps raising this to over 18,000).
