Sabre-J1


Recommended Posts

interesting... wasn\'t the sabre inplemented into the airforce at the end of WII?

It entered service just after WWII. It didn\'t see service until Korea, where its dogfights against the Russian MiG-15s are well known.

yeah, i heard they beat the snot out of the soviets.
From what I understand, the MiG-15s and 17s were actually quite comparable to Sabres performance-wise, and even better in some ways, but the US had better pilot training.

This. I would say that the MiG-15s were probebly slightly better than the sabre, but as Van said. We had better pilots. The difference between the two side\'s training can be summed up as such.

Chinese/Russian pilots were taught the strengths and weaknesses of the MiG-15 and how it should be used in a dogfight.

American pilots too were taught the strenghts and weaknesses of the MiG-15 and how it should be used in a dogfight.
