The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 is a Soviet swept-wing jet fighter. Introduced in the early 1950s, the MiG-15 featured a sleek and innovative design, incorporating swept wings and a powerful Klimov VK-1 turbojet engine. Its high thrust-to-weight ratio enabled it to reach around Mach 0.9, making it faster than most contemporary jet fighters. The most common variant is the MiG-15bis, a more mature and developed design than the original. Armed with autocannons and rockets, the MiG-15 demonstrated impressive firepower, while its agility and climb rate made it a formidable adversary in aerial combat. Its first combat trial was during The Korean War, where it clashed with American and United Nations forces. The jet's performance took the world by surprise, outmatching many of its opponents, especially admirable considering its technical simplicity and ease of production. Numerous factions within the Oceanykan Federation operate the MiG-15, particularly the OPA Air Force's 2nd Air Division.
