- Good at defensive flying
- Useful for fighting 8.0 jets
- Very good at diving
- High rip speed (1,040 km/h IAS)
- Good acceleration
- Retains energy well
- Low compression at high speeds
- Faster than most aircraft it faces when downtiered
- Has access to a target detection radar, with ok range from stock

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.
Media
An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
