The British Labour regime chooses friendly relations rather than technology outflow.

　December 30th, 1947 (Showa 22). MiG-15, a fighter developed by the former Soviet Union (now Russia), flew for the first time. [cockpit also] the exiled MiG-15 fighter MiG-15 guarded by US soldiers is a jet fighter developed by MIG Design Bureau after World War II. It has also been manufactured in Poland, Czechoslovakia, China, and other countries, so its gross domestic product has reached more than 15000 masterpieces, but the basic technologies are: Born in Germany and England. The Soviet Union invaded the German capital Berlin in World War II and finally became the winner, bringing home a large amount of cutting-edge aviation technology and various experimental data from Germany, and even German researchers and technicians. Using these technologies and data, we have created a foundation for the development of excellent military aircraft in a short period of time. In this case, MiG-15 's aircraft is based on retreating wing research materials obtained from Germany. However, it is the jet engine that becomes the bottleneck. On this point, as domestic development could not be done in any case, it was decided to urgently purchase Rolls-Royce engines from the UK. At first, although Britain threatened the technology outflow, fortunately, the then Labour regime was moving towards improving friendly relations with the Soviet Union. Eventually allowed to export engines made by Rolls-Royce, the Soviet Union successfully acquired about 40 of the latest jet engines, and completed the jet fighter by replicating the goal.

A famous plane that has been in service for nearly 50 years after the Korean War

　As mentioned earlier, following the successful first flight of MiG-15 on 30 December 1947 (Showa 22), mass production began in 1948 (Showa 23) and troop deployment began in 1949 (Showa 24). But it was the brave battle of the Korean War that began in June 1950 (Showa 25) that made the plane famous. At first, although the North Korean army did not deploy jet fighters, when the Chinese people's volunteers (Chinese volunteers) began to fight, MiG-15 went to the forefront, overpowering U.S.-led United Nations military aircraft. In order to fight MiG-15, the US military also invested in the state-of-the-art Fmai 86 "Saber", and fierce air combat between fighter jets was waged over the Korean Peninsula. Since then, from the 1960s to the 1980s, countries have been in use, transformed into a two-seater two-seater exercise machine model until around 2000. It should be pointed out that it is used around the world from the fact that different countries, such as wars in wars, there are also many existing fighters, including flyable aircraft.
