The Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-8 was a supersonic jet fighter developed in the Soviet Union from and to replace the MiG-21 (originally named MiG-23). Only two prototypes were built in 1960-61. The original MiG-21's air intakes were moved under the fuselage, freeing up the nose where a larger and more powerful radar, able to deliver longer range air-to-air missiles, could be built in. Canards were built to both sides of the nose, in front of the cockpit, (the horizontal stabilizers of MiG-21 were left at their original position).
The two prototypes flew in 1962. On September 11, 1962, the Tumansky R-21F-300 engine, also under development, exploded in midair at a speed of Mach 2.15.[1] Test pilot Georgy Konstantinovich Mosolov, then one of the leading Soviet test pilots, was severely injured by debris from the compressor and had to eject at Mach 1.78.
Due to unsolved technical problems, the aircraft's development was abandoned; some parts were used on the MiG-23, including R-23 missiles and their associated Sapfir-23 radar.

why does this remind me of the F-16?
@ZWLenning ok
@RuvienRepublic_Citizen im using yours to figure out how to build it
@ZWLenning Oh, I didn't know. But anyway you can still make it, i mean, there's already a lot of this in here.
HEY I WAS GONNA MAKE ONE OF THESE xD
Nice but the control surfaces don’t move
@Blue0Bull Thanccs M8 !!
@Parehare Thanccs m8
It good :/ @RuvienRepublic_Citizen
@RuvienRepublic_Citizen np.it still a cool plane ok see you later budy.
@Parehare I'm sorry for the bad livery. Sorry
It's all good, its just art.@RuvienRepublic_Citizen
@Ryad Thanks for the thing m8
@Parehare It use a gyro control for yaw and another one for cruise. sorry for the trouble, but Thanks.
I dig the plane but not the gyro, but I like it.
@Ryad the cockpit had to be super small in order to fit inside the small fuselage so i didn't put too much effort because t's actually harder to nudge them all in. Sorry
Very cool, but why you didn't use a custom cockpit?? It was going to be coooooooler.
