The #MikoyanGurevichYe8 was a #supersonic #jetFighter developed in the #SovietUnion, intended to replace the #MiG21 (originally named #MiG23). Only two prototypes were built in 1960–61. The original MiG-21's air intakes were moved under the fuselage, freeing up the nose where a larger and more powerful #radar, able to deliver longer range #airtoairMissiles, could be built in. #Canards were built to both sides of the nose, in front of the #cockpit.

An old MiG-15, a Cold War-era jet fighter, languishing in a field somewhere in Latvia

This lonely MiG-15 sits near a private runway in Latvia, a survivor of the Soviet Union's early jet fighter era. Developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich, the aircraft was an early innovator in swept-wing design intended to reach supersonic speeds.
