The MiG-5 is a Soviet fighter aircraft developed in the late 1940s. It was designed to enhance the capabilities of the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau, focusing on speed and maneuverability. The aircraft featured a sleek design and was powered by a turbojet engine, making it suitable for air superiority missions. Although the MiG-5 showed promise, it never entered mass production due to various technical challenges and the rapid advancement of jet technology. Instead, it paved the way for future models, such as the MiG-15, which became one of the most successful jet fighters of its time.
