Title: Mig-15 and G suits
Post by: simshell 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?

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.

Of course they are superior to Americans! that's why they don't need money, or for that matter, flight suits.We are the evil rich capitalists :aok
