La-15, so much like the Mig-15, if it wasn't for that higher mounted wing, you'd never know.
Smaller and lighter than the Mig-15, with a less powerful engine.

There was a Nene engined version of the La-15 ("168") - it managed to outperform MiG-15 in almost all characteristics. La-15 was technologically more complicated and less suited for mass production, but this problem was not critical and could be solved afterwards.

With 235 examples including 15 two seaters, it earned the NATOFantail nickname.

Correct. Also interesting to remember that a RN FAA Sea Fury managed to shoot down a MiG-15.

I have to ask. From you Navy guys, what are those things sticking out on the side of the carrier!

Antennas, but I'm no "In the Navy" or A Macho Macho Man", but I do go to the YMCA, but I don't stay there.

[Airframes]

Sticky-out antennae. They are vertical in use, and fold outboard when flying is in progress.
