This bad boy had a relatively short service life with the Soviets due to the many bugs it had originally, and since the 21 came along so quickly, it became an afterthought. It is the last of the great looking MIGs, thats for sure. These things would have eaten the Super Sabre for lunch in the hands of a capable pilot.
I just like how Soviet jets differ from US jets in design and manufacturing but yet able to match it's US counterparts. They approach jet developments in a very different perspective, sometimes unconventional but yet very effective.
So with that said, I must admit that of all the Cold War jets between 1950 and 1970 - MiG-19 is by far one of my favorite. It just had clean lines, superb flying characteristics and excellent weapons platform. It in my opinion was perhaps even with the Super-Sabre (my 2nd fav)...damn good planes and it took the Cold War to push it along. Imagine if after WW2 what Russia and America could've built if we worked together as allies - sad and fascinating.
Though not built up to standards like western NATO aircraft of the time which actually needed top notch clean runways just to take off - worst thing in time of war especially WWIII where time is of the essence - Soviet ideology in my opinion was superb that they didn't need refinements considering these planes were to take off dirt and grass runways and constant debris was part of it. While it took the Russians just a few minutes to get a whole formation in the air, it would take western longer.
notice the irregular cut edges on the MiG canopy they must be hand cut using metal shears and those big ass rivets made me laugh 0.03 seconds says it all.
@datzfast In the 1950s the Soviet Union was unable to produce aircraft built as precisely as nations such as Britain and America. However, the Soviet Union was able to produce more, and for a fraction of the cost to produce their western equivelents, and the aircraft they did build were just as effective. Many still argue to this day that the MiG-15 was a greater fighter than the F-86 (I disagree with this opinion), yet the build quality was horrific when compared to the F-86.
@datzfast Your comment was fair. The USAF could not believe that such poorly constructed aircraft were capable of matching their fighters in air-to-air combat.
@datzfast I NEVER Believe that Soviet or China would be inferior than US & UK . People might have right to take side BUT NOT to show who is Superior or Inferior . Ever think that would so mean to someone ? It doesn't mean you can say Everything just you think it's true .
@Romus011 yes i can say anything i think is true and i was born with that right. and by definition somethings are inferior to other things. you might have some mild brain damage because your thinking is very flawed. so i will just repeat the truth here for you again,notice the irregular cut edges on the MiG canopy they must be hand cut using metal shears and those big ass rivets made me laugh 0.03 seconds says it all
In 50th years of the USSR made planes not worse planes of the USA and Britain both can these planes and became roughly but in the conditions of field airdromes they were easier for repairing, and for example a way of a recharge of guns MIG - 15 in general a masterpiece remember such planes of the USSR as TU16 TU95 SU7 and the same MIG21 has been accepted on arms in 1958 and SU-9 was the complex of interception first the world operated land system of prompting
@LeBaron21 I would agree with this statement. The Soviet Union's aircraft did not have nearly the same kind of quality control as US aircraft and were mostly inferior, but they had versatility and design elements that allowed them to be used for a wider variety of roles for longer period of time. Just out of curiosity, what's your favorite Soviet plane? Mine's gotta be the MiG 21, it's so beautiful in such a crude, alien way, looks like it flew out of a 50's era B movie.
@okaaaiiiden I doubt you would have. Although the F-4 was introduced only 5 years after the MiG 19 it was decades ahead in terms of technology. It surpassed the MiG 19 in almost all aspects...the only exception being maneuverability. It was faster, was able to carry a greater amount/range of weapons and had a range almost twice as great as the MiG.
@EdwardJayPumpkinhead For all of the F-4's technological advances, it's lack of agility was a deadly liability; especially when early examples of the AIM-7 missile proved no-where near expectations (accuracy of the time rounded up to around . 30%). Also, the AIM-9 Sidewinder models then-in service were rear-aspect only (meaning, they could only detect an aircraft's infrared signature from behind); so to rely on them meant having to play the turning game with a more agile MiG.
@Factual3liss Just to add to the airwar that three things dint help the americans.. first the ROE witch ment they could not use the Sparrow in optimal conditions.
Second.. F4 lacked a gun in the beginning. third SOPs of the day where very strikt in USAF regarding to what the winmans did.. all in all pretty hard situations witch produced alot of casualetys..
@EdwardJayPumpkinhead In all, though their kill ratios were favorable, U.S. losses in Vietnam were their worst of the missile age. Against a force comprised of lightweight and highly expendable fighters, it took more than a "favorable" kill ratio to ensure victory. The F-4 was the first U.S. experiment with "super fighters" ...but it was followed by the comparatively lightweight and expendable F-5 (just as the F-15 was followed by the F-16); reflecting a very real concern over enemy numbers.
Our air combat history showed MiG-19 when piloted by experienced MiG-17 pilots capable of deathly strikes against US combat F-4 planes and even squadrons of them.
i wuoldnt say this is the best the sabre is better there are stories of sabres taking migs down without even firing shots lol the whole tails came off in high g turns
Aren't you confusing it with the MiG-15? F-86 Sabres shot those down indeed, but I don't think that had to do much with the quality of the thing, more with the training of their pilots.
The first Cache of MiG 19s had a poorly designed jet pipe shroud which caused terrific vibrations and severe structural damage while turning at above 400 mph.
I belive that this fault was quickly repaired and the aircraft converted in time for combat, but the above user may be right.
The MiG-19 was a generation later than the Sabre, as far as I can find info about it, they never battled each other. The F-86 was a Korea-era airplane, while the MiG-19 saw first service in Vietnam, when the US didn't use the F-86 anymore.
F-86 did battle MiG-15s in the Korean war, and with good succes for the US. The F-86 was faster and more stable, but the MiG-15 was more nimble and a better climber. It was the pilot training, I think, htat really made the difference.
hi , just watched a b47 jato takeoff, you were right, alot of smoke. The wing flex was incredible, have u seen the vid where the hercules or c130(must look again) is blown to bits in an assisited jato landing? pretty violent affair.
