Description

The MiG-17 was designed to perform the role of bomber killer and was never intended as a dogfighter, however its exceptional agility would allow this aircraft to score combat victories over more modern American designs. The Vietnam War proved to be something of a sobering experience for the US Air Force, as some of their most modern aircraft would fall victim to the guns of the MiG-17. An extremely cost-effective aircraft, the rugged MiG-17 became the standard Warsaw Pact fighter for a decade from the mid-1950s with aircraft produced under license in both China and Poland.
