MiG-3 Soviet High-Altitude Interceptor Threadfast Apparel Bomber Jacket

The MiG-3, a product of the renowned Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau, soared through the skies as a key defender of the Soviet Union during the early years of World War II. With its first flight in 1940, this high-altitude interceptor was among the fastest of its time, capable of reaching speeds up to 640 km/h. Designed primarily to combat enemies at higher altitudes, the MiG-3 was equipped with a powerful 1,350 hp Mikulin AM-35A engine. Over 3,000 units were produced, serving primarily on the Eastern Front. Despite its initial design as an interceptor, the MiG-3 was also used in ground-attack roles. Its legacy is marked by its significant contribution to the defense of the Soviet airspace against German Luftwaffe attacks. The MiG-3's sleek design and versatility make it a remarkable chapter in the history of military aviation, showcasing the ingenuity and resilience of the Soviet war effort.
