Galería de fotos de un Mig-19PF – Shenyang J-6A, The Shenyang J-6 (Chinese: 歼-6; designated F-6 for export versions; NATO Code: Farmer) was the Chinese-built version of the Soviet MiG-19 ‘Farmer’ fighter aircraft. Although the MiG-19 had a comparatively short life in Soviet service, the Chinese came to value its agility, turning performance, and powerful cannon armament, and produced it for their own use between 1958 and 1981. While the basic Soviet-designed MiG-19 has been retired from all nations, the Shenyang J-6 still flies for nine of its original 15 operators, however, in a very limited capacity. The J-6 airframe contributed to the Chinese ground attack version, the Q-5, which still flies for numerous nations. The J-6 was considered “disposable” and was intended to be operated for only 100 flight hours (or approximately 100 sorties) before being overhauled. The Pakistan Air Force was often able to extend this to 130 hours with diligent maintenance.

el Mig-19PF was a Soviet jet fighter developed in the 1950s as an improved version of the Mig-19. It featured a new radar system and two air-to-air missiles, making it one of the first supersonic interceptors in the world. The Shenyang J-6A was a Chinese copy of the Mig-19PF, produced under license from the Soviet Union. It entered service in the late 1950s and was widely used by the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) and other countries allied with China. The J-6A had similar performance and capabilities as the Mig-19PF, but suffered from lower reliability and quality issues. The J-6A was eventually replaced by more advanced fighters such as the J-7 and the J-8 in the 1970s and 1980s.
