The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 was built in huge numbers and became the standard fighter of the Warsaw Pact countries.
The MiG-15 "bis" Fagot-B, as it was codenamed by NATO, was the Soviet Union's first operational swept-wing jet fighter, developed from the original MiG-15 design.
Its maiden flight took place in September 1949, and mass production began in 1952, with an estimated total of 3,000 units built.
This included license production in Czechoslovakia, Poland, and especially China, where it was mistakenly believed that a large number of Soviet aircraft had been produced from the Shenyang J-2 prototype.
Numerous modifications were made to the MiG-15 "bis," including the night flight system and all-weather flight instruments.
The MiG-15 "bis" saw action in the Korean War, where it fought against its counterpart, the US North American F-86 Sabre, achieving impressive results.
