The MiG-15bis was an upgraded version of the legendary MiG-15, one of the most technologically advanced fighters of the early 1950s. Its debut took place between 1949 and 1952. It became particularly famous for its air combat during the Korean War, where it effectively competed with the American F-86 Sabre. The aircraft was used by the Soviet Air Force as well as numerous allied nations, including China, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany. MiG-15bis production lasted until the mid-1950s, and it was widely operated until the 1970s.
