The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 is a supersonic interceptor and fighter aircraft developed by the Soviet Union in the 1950s. Entering service in 1959, it is distinguished by its tailed delta wing design and was produced in greater numbers than any other supersonic jet, with over 11,000 units built. The...
Why this score
One of history's most produced supersonic fighters, iconic, combat-proven, inexpensive, with handling and avionics limits.
Scoring methodology
The Mikoyan MiG-31 Foxhound is a Soviet/Russian long-range air superiority interceptor aircraft characterized by its distinctive diamond-shaped wings and advanced radar systems designed for detecting and engaging high-speed targets at extended distances.
Why this score
Exceptional speed, range, radar reach, and long-range interception capability; high operating burden and narrow mission specialization limit broader utility.
Scoring methodology
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 Fishbed was a single-engine, jet fighter aircraft developed in the Soviet Union, renowned for its ruggedness and operational use by numerous air forces despite its aging design and limitations.
Why this score
Iconic simplicity, speed, affordability, enormous production, and extensive combat history; limited endurance, visibility, avionics, and safety record are notable weaknesses.
Scoring methodology
The Mikoyan MiG-29, designated "Fulcrum" by NATO, is a fourth-generation twin-engine jet fighter developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1970s. It was designed as an air superiority fighter to counter advanced American aircraft, featuring a high-mounted swept wing and twin tail configuration. Equi...
Why this score
Excellent close-range agility, rugged operation, and broad adoption; short range, dated avionics, maintenance issues, and uneven combat results limit acclaim.
Scoring methodology
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 Foxbat was a Soviet interceptor aircraft designed to engage high-altitude bombers, notable for its swept wings, powerful engines, and ability to reach speeds exceeding Mach 3.
Why this score
Legendary speed and altitude performance made it an engineering landmark; poor maneuverability, limited avionics, and specialized mission reduced overall versatility.
Scoring methodology
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17F was a Soviet jet fighter developed as an afterburning development of the earlier MiG-17, itself a refinement of the MiG-15. The MiG-17F introduced the Klimov VK-1F engine with an afterburner, improving performance at altitude. It saw extensive combat service with several...
Why this score
Celebrated, agile fighter with strong climb, combat history, and display appeal; difficult high-speed handling and primitive systems limit overall quality.
Scoring methodology
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 is a Soviet jet fighter aircraft that first flew in 1947 and entered service with the Soviet Air Forces shortly after. It features a single swept wing design and is powered by a Klimov VK-1 turbojet engine, which was reverse-engineered from a British Rolls-Royce engine. T...
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 is a Soviet single-engine supersonic interceptor and fighter aircraft that completed its first flight in 1955. Featuring a distinctive delta wing and tailless configuration, the aircraft was designed for high speed and rapid interception. Produced in massive quantities, o...
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15UTI is the two-seat training version of the Soviet MiG-15 jet fighter. It places an instructor and student in tandem cockpits and was widely used from the 1950s to prepare pilots for jet operations, including those who would fly the single-seat MiG-15. The type also served...
Why this score
Historically important conversion trainer with broad service and lively performance; poor visibility, dated ergonomics, and unforgiving early-jet traits are weaknesses.
Scoring methodology
The Mikoyan MiG-35 is a single-seat, stealth-capable light fighter aircraft designed for air defense suppression and interception missions, utilizing advanced avionics and short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) capabilities.
Why this score
Capable proposed modernization with improved sensors and weapons, but negligible adoption, uncertain production future, and little operational evidence weaken consensus confidence.
Scoring methodology
The Mikoyan MiG-29 is a Soviet twin-engine tactical fighter developed by the Mikoyan design bureau. It first flew in 1977 and was designed primarily for air combat, including operations against hostile aircraft near the front line. The type entered service during the Cold War and was exported to sev...
