Mikoyan (MiG)
Mikoyan-Gurevich — MiG — built the fighters that defined Soviet air power for fifty years. From the MiG-15 that shocked the West over Korea to the MiG-29 that still serves dozens of air forces, MiG fighters were the adversary Western pilots trained to beat.
Heritage
More MiG fighters have been built than any other family of jet combat aircraft. The MiG-21 alone saw over 11,000 produced. These weren't just Soviet machines — they armed the world's non-aligned nations and fought in nearly every Cold War conflict.
