The Vietnamese Air Force used J-5s alongside the Soviet supplied MiG-17s for interception missions until the 1990s when they were retired, along with the remaining MiG-19s, being replaced with newer MiG-21s and Su-27s.
Two North Vietnamese MiG-17 pilots, Luu Huy Chao and Le Hai, each were credited with six aerial-combat victories against U.S. aircraft. The MiG-17 remained in frontline service in North Vietnam until the late 1970s.
The VPAF received its first jet fighter aircraft, the MiG-17 in February 1964, but they were initially stationed at air bases on mainland China, while their pilots were being trained.
15 Ιαν 2021 · The MiGs encountered in Vietnam came in three varieties: models -17, -19, and -21. The MiG-17 has served in at least twenty fellow-traveling air forces around the world since its operational debut in 1953. It was probably the most numerous aircraft in the NVN inventory, for over half of all MiG kills were -17s.
1 Οκτ 2019 · The single-engine MiGs were half the size of the F-4 and more agile. The MiG-17, an advanced version of the Korean War MiG-15, was no longer top of the line, but it performed well as an interceptor. The MiG-21 was North Vietnam’s best fighter and a close match in capability with the F-4.
26 Απρ 2024 · North Vietnamese aviators developed innovative combat tactics that leveraged the MiG-17’s strengths, often engaging in hit-and-run attacks against the enemy. By 1971, the aircraft had begun to see use as a fighter-bomber, with its primary targets being ships operated by the US Navy.
In 1965, the small North Vietnamese Air Force (also known as the Vietnam People's Air Force or VPAF) was equipped with somewhat outdated, gun-armed MiG-17s. The entry of missile-armed, supersonic MiG-21s in early 1966, however, dramatically increased the VPAF threat.
