=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Avia-Armour}}

''Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.''

=== Modifications and economy ===
{{Specs-Economy}}

== Armaments ==
{{Specs-Avia-Armaments}}
=== Offensive armament ===
{{Specs-Avia-Offensive}}

{{main|NR-23 (23 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 3 x 23 mm NR-23 cannons, chin-mounted (100 rpg = 300 total)

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

'''Pros:'''
*

'''Cons:'''
*

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

== Media ==

''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

== See also ==

''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''
* ''reference to the series of the aircraft;''
* ''links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.''

== External links ==

''Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:''
* ''topic on the official game forum;''
* ''other literature.''

-In the mid 1950s, the suddenly obselete MiG-17 underwent an upgrade program to keep it relevant as a rear-line fighter-interceptor despite the adcent of the MiG-19 and MiG-21. The upgrade package, titled the MiG-17PF, incorporated both the MiG-17F upgrade of adding an afterburner to the VK-1 engine for increased thrust, and the upgrade of the MiG-17P to add a RP-5 Izumrud radar system for all-weather capability. The armament was also simplified to three NR-23 cannons instead of the usual 2x NR-23 + 1x NR-30, making gun ballistics for pilots and maintenance for ground crew much easier. This variant saw export to many countries around the world, from western shores of Cuba to the far eastern orients of Vietnam and Korea. One operator of this variant was the Hungarian Air Force, who recieved many examples of this aircraft. One such example (Red 401) is on display in a museum and is almost identical to Red 403 we have ingame.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''', introduced in [[Update "Alpha Strike"]], is a member of the Hungarian sub-tree in the Italian tech tree ingame, acting as the high-power subsonic jet of that tree before the supersonic [[MiG-21MF (Italy)|MiG-21MF]] that follows it. Ingame, its playstyle is best characterized as a more agressive MiG-17, due to the more powerful engines and more forgiving armament than its [[MiG-17|base model sibling in the soviet tech tree]]. One must keep in mind however that the increased weight thanks to the new engine and radar system means that the wing loading is higher, and as a result, high speed compression of the control surfaces is more prominent. One must also stay cautious of more advanced missiles and high performance supersonic fighters that the MiG-17PF can face in an uptier. All in all, the MiG-17PF acts as a great filler in the Italian tech tree ingame to bolster their lineup of second generation jet fighters.
