it says it entered service in 1945 so how did it not exist
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
OK, so:5) you're being stupid
Must you be a turd
Did you see my dad on dogfights yet?
I'll be seeing you face to face possibly next month.
The Mig-15 looks suspiciously like the FW Ta-183. Now you don't think the Russians ran off with Kurt Tank's design for a jet fighter do you? Kind of like the German MP-44 and the AK-47 rifles.
No, in both cases the Russians built their own. Contrary to some people's beliefs, Russians and Japanese people aren't stupid and incapable of creating their own successful designs.
Yes, that Tu-4 was very unique. (Image removed from quote.)That looks like a B29, those Americans copied another great Russian design! (sorry Karnak, you left yourself open to that one)
They never claimed otherwise, and it is an exact copy. The MiG-15 sorta looks like a Ta183 so people claim it is a copy. See the difference?
I never said the MiG15 was a copy, I was just picking on you for your comment that the Russians weren't incapable of building their own designs.If anything, I feel the F86 benefited more from the Me262 (and other German ideas, like the leading edge wing slats) than the Russian designs did at that time. Then again, the Russians really benefited from the British jet engine that was given to them for the MiG15, which is a decision I never understood.
