MiG-15. Cold War Steel.<\/h1>\n

Designed by Mikoyan-Gurevich in the Soviet Union and powered by a reverse-engineered Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet, the MiG-15 was built for a single purpose: to dominate the skies over Korea. Over 13,000 were produced in the USSR alone, making it one of the most-manufactured jet aircraft in history. With its rugged airframe, twin 23mm and single 37mm cannon, and a service ceiling of 50,900 feet, this is not a museum piece that flies like a fighter \u2014 it is the fighter that shocked the West.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

A Soviet Gamble That Paid Off<\/h2>\n

When the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau began work on the MiG-15 in 1946, Stalin had refused to believe the British would ever sell the Soviets their best jet engine technology \u2014 yet that's exactly what happened. Drawing on this windfall Rolls-Royce Nene engine and German wartime swept-wing research, the team applied a single-minded philosophy to the design: the smallest possible airframe wrapped around the most powerful engine that would fit. The result was one of the most consequential jet fighters ever built \u2014 adopted by over 35 nations and later evolved by Mikoyan into the MiG-17, the jet that would go on to challenge American supersonic fighters over Vietnam.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
