Description
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 was a Soviet high-altitude interceptor introduced in 1941. Designed for speed and altitude, it excelled above 7,000 meters but was less effective at lower levels where most combat occurred. Armed with one 12.7mm and two 7.62mm machine guns, it was lightly armed compared to contemporaries. Despite its speed and sleek design, it had poor handling at low altitudes and was difficult for inexperienced pilots. Over 3,400 were built, but it was soon overshadowed by more versatile aircraft like the Yak-1 and LaGG-3. The MiG-3 saw limited success and was gradually phased out by 1943.
