MiG-15, Kuçovë Air Base, Albania
Here in Albania, this MiG-15 was discovered at a hangar in the Kuçovë Airbase. The Soviet Union was on a mission to create many of these machines as the MiG-15, a jet fighter, served a valuable purpose. Designers Mikoyan-Gurevich manufactured the MiG-15 in 1946, and its first operational flight was within the next year – December 1947. Russia searched for an aircraft that could tackle the devastating blows from the B-29s, and the MiG-15 was the solution. It was a history-making machine for Russia, and it was able to stand against the pressure from the United States’ air superiority.
