I see that you are new to forum and I would like to welcome you.Aircraft like the Folland Gnat did do well in places like India, and there are other light fighter candidates from the 1950s like the F-5, Draken, Mirage III and of course the Mig-21
Some of the military supplies from the USSR to North Vietnam - including fighter jets - were simply a $0.0 gift.The ones that only cost the customers $1.00, like the P-47's and P-51's supplied by the USA.
One Phantom cost about the same as five MiGs. If I were a purchaser, I'd be thinking hard.F-4 Phantom II all the way. I want to have my enemies graveyard dead, and my crewmen to return to home safely![]()
The MiG is both cheaper and more effective than the Hunter. Tested by the Pakistanis.MiG-19 or the Hunter
The Gina is a great tactical ground attack aircraft (may be, the most optimal choice for this purpose), but it's hard to call it a fighter.On the other hand, from an effectiveness scale, how does it compare to its near-contemporary armed trainers or something like the G.91?
The Chinese failed to produce either the MiG-19P or the even more complex MiG-19PM, they were able to master production of the simpler MiG-19S with great difficulty. The J-6A with the Sidewinder is from the mid 1970s, 11 years behind the Soviets (MiG-19PT).and in upgraded J-6 versions, close in air-to-air missile capability
