Survivability and 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. Describe the armour, if there is any, also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but 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

Pros:

• Excellent guns that have both high muzzle velocity, rate of fire, plenty of ammo (200 rpg), and pack a good punch with high-explosive shells.
• Can carry a wide array of suspended armaments of bombs, rockets and missiles.
• Its AIM-9B missiles have a longer reach than the missiles on the MiG-19PT
• Fast and out-accelerates both MiG-15 and MiG-17's

Cons:

• Thoroughly unmanuverable, and does absolutely not lend itself to traditional turning dogfights
• Suffers from severe lockup past the Mach 1 mark
• Bleeds a lot of energy when trying to turn around at high speed
• While fast, is still significantly slower in top speed and acceleration than the MiG-19PT
• Doesn't do direct-fire CAS well since at high speeds, target acquisition is difficult, and at lower speeds, the plane is too unmanuverable and easy pickings for anti-air

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them 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.
