Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 was a pivotal #Soviet fighter in the early years of #worldwar2 . Known for its high-altitude performance, it was a response to the inadequacies of its predecessor, the MiG-1. Despite its shortcomings in low-altitude engagements, the MiG-3 held a significant role in the defense of Moscow, and its speed and armament allowed it to serve effectively against bombers and reconnaissance aircraft. Piloted by skilled #aviators, including multiple Heroes of the Soviet Union, the MiG-3 became a symbol of early Soviet resistance during the #war. #aviation #militaryaviation #militaryaviationhistory
