(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
MiG is the designation for military aircraft designed by the Armenian Artem Ivanovich Mikoyan and the Russian Mikhail Iosifovich Gurevich or their design bureau.
The 3 aircraft which saw major actions in World War II
- MiG-1, 1940
See also: List_of_military_aircraft_of_the_Soviet_Union_and_the_CIS
- MiG-3, 1941
- MiG-5
- MiG-9, 1947
- MiG-7, 1944
- MiG-13 (aka MiG I-250 (N)),1945
- MiG-15, 1948, a contemporary of the F-86 Sabre and used widely in the Korean War
- MiG-17, 1954
- MiG-19, 1955, MiG's first supersonic fighter
- MiG-21, a contemporary of the F-4 Phantom II
- MiG-23, 1974, a variable-geometry interceptor
- MiG-25, 1966, a Mach 3 interceptor
- MiG-27, 1973, a ground-attack aircraft derived from the MiG-23
- MiG-29, 1983
- MiG-31, 1983
MiGs follow the convention of using odd numbers for fighter aircrafts. So although MiG-8 and MiG-110 exist, they are not fighters. MiG-28 is a fictitious aircraft used in the movie Top Gun. They were actually disguised F-5 Tiger II aircraft.
