The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 was a Soviet fighter aircraft developed in the late 1930s. It was designed for high-altitude performance and featured a sleek, aerodynamic shape. The MiG-3 was powered by a powerful engine, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 650 km/h (404 mph). It was primarily used during World War II, where it served in various roles, including air defense and ground attack. Equipped with multiple machine guns, the MiG-3 was effective in combat, although it faced challenges against more advanced enemy aircraft. Despite its limitations, the MiG-3 contributed to the Soviet air force's efforts during the war and laid the groundwork for future MiG designs.
