The MiG Fighter is a Soviet anti-aircraft fighter used during the War of the Three Powers and the Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3: Uprising.

The end result is a formidable air dominance fighter, with a revolutionary design. Its main weapon, the Type M burst missile, can accurately track and destroy enemy aircraft, no matter how many electronic countermeasures they use, thanks to the multiple smaller warheads embedded in each missile. In addition, the missile is capable of doing splash damage, thanks to its clustered warheads. As a missile, it takes more room in MiGs than the bullets in the Allied and Imperial counterparts. Therefore, MiGs deplete their ammo faster and are more fragile, due to its exposed hardpoints.

Markedly, it is the first Soviet fighter to have full VTOL capability, allowing it to be deployed close to the front line from temporary airbases. However, due to the lack of precision-machined parts in mass produced fighters, the transition from hovering to flight is not as smooth as one might think - many flight students are unable to perform the maneuver of transitioning, much to the chagrin of flight instructors. However, once mastered, flying the MiG is surprisingly straightforward.

Cadets for the prestigious Soviet National Air Combat Division are picked by political officers, who scour schools for girls and boys that possess just the right mix of daring, aggression, and patriotism, qualities that are then honed for years by the Soviet Military Affairs Bureau.

The image of a fighter pilot is an alluring one in the Soviet society. The prospect of a brave defender of the Motherland in a fighter inspires, even dissidents, such as Boris Denisov, creator of The Empty Chair documentary.

Controls:

• Activate 7 + 8 for VTOL Mode
• Activate 8 for Horizontal Flight Mode

Notes:

I gave up after the game crashed 7 times while I making this aircraft detailed. Important Notes:

• Before taking off vertically, slowly increase the throttle to full or else the plane will flip out of control. In most cases, use Activate Group 7 and 8 before take off vertically, and recover the flip.
• When flying at low speed on normal flight, the plane stalls and nearly impossible to recover.
• The pitch maneuverability is poor, so using on VTOL mode like in the game is easier.
