MiG-19PF – Shenyang J-6A – Photos & Vidéo

Galerie de photos d’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 ‘cultivateur’ 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 « Jetable » et devait être exploité pendant seulement 100 heures de vol (ou environ 100 sorties) avant d’être révisé. L’armée de l’air pakistanaise a souvent été en mesure d’étendre ce délai à 130 heures avec une maintenance diligente.

Lla 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 Force aérienne de l’Armée de libération (PLAAF) et d’autres pays alliés à la Chine. Le J-6A avait des performances et des capacités similaires à celles du MiG-19PF, mais souffrait de problèmes de fiabilité et de qualité inférieurs. Le J-6A a finalement été remplacé par des chasseurs plus avancés tels que le J-7 et le J-8 dans les années 1970 et 1980.
