The '''MiG-15''' was one of the most widely produced [[Soviet]] aircraft and the first production jet operated by the Russians.
==Development==
The MiG-15 was originally contracted in 1939 as a propellor-driven aircraft, but when the Soviet military captured [[Me-262]] blueprints and models in the downfall of Nazi Germany, it was changed to a jet aircraft through use of German technology. The Soviets gained access to a British Rolls-Royce jet engine, far ahead of anyone elses, for the engine model.
The aircraft was fast and maneuverable; it was also cheap.
==Korea==
The MiG-15 entered service in the North Korean Air Force during the [[Korean War]].
