The Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-15 (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-15) (NATO reporting name Fagot) was a jet fighter developed for the USSR by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where it outclassed all enemy fighters except the F-86 Sabre. The MiG-15 also served as the starting point for development of the more advanced Mig-17 which would oppose American fighters over Vietnam in the 1960s. The MiG-15 is believed to have been the most numerous jet aircraft ever made, with over 12,000 built. Licensed foreign production perhaps raised the total to over 18,000-wikiMig-15 Paper Model
