Mig-15 and G suits
« on: February 23, 2009, 05:00:05 PM »
I was just wondering why the Russians did not use G-suits like the US did with its jet fighters during Korea?

My guess would be there were no German G-suits to copy at the end of WW2 and they had not yet captured an American G-suit.

Look at the Soviet Unions way of designing things.  For practicality and use not for the comfort of the operators.

Yumm.... I love Stroganoff!

My guess also, is money. I know a former Russian fighter pilot, and the first thing that always comes up as a problem in Russia is money. No one has any.

Money wasn't the issue.  IIRC, it was felt that it wasn't needed and as such, the MiG-15 was designed without a G-suit in mind.

Im sure its the fact that they thought they were "superior" to the Americans. had something to do with it.
