Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19, Asian and Middle-East users

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19 is a Soviet-made single-seat twin-engined second generation supersonic jet fighter which is capable of maintaining supersonic speeds in level flight. The MiG-19S has been the most produced and exported variant with more than 1.000 exemplars manufactured it was exported to, among many others, to these next countries:

• Iraq: In spite of the contradictory reports about the MiG-19's career in Iraq, it seems that 15 MiG-19S were delivered to the Iraqi Air Force (IAF) in 1960. Other reports claim that they were complemented with 30 MiG-19s of unspecified origin, most probably, if those reports are right, from North Korea in 1983.
  Anyway, they were based at Al Rashed, Amarah, Karbalah and Jalibah Air Bases. A number of MiG-19 and its Chinese copy, the Shenyang F-6 were destroyed on the ground during Operation Desert Storm in January-March 1991, as Saddam Hussein ordered them to be strategically placed on his air bases as decoys in an attempt to save his real combat aircraft.
  Other reports claim that they were sold to Uganda, Afghanistan and North Korea.
• North Korea: After the mutual assistance and military co-operation treaty the the USSR and North Korea signed in 1961, an unknown number of MiG-19Ss was supplied to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). Some sources claim 15 of them but it's most probably that there were at least twice as many.
  Thirty original MiG-19Ss were sold to Iraq in 1983. Given the high secrecy surrounding North Korea, the MiG-19S depicted below is speculative. 
• Syria: Syria became the second non Warsaw-pact nation to operate the MiG-19S as they received 40 from the USSR in 1958-1962. However, according to some report, they were acquired second-hand from Egypt. Many of them were destroyed on ground in 1967 during the Six Days War.
• North Vietnam: Forty-four MiG-19S fighters were supplied to the North Vietnam Democratic Republic Air Force (NVDRAF) in 1968-1969 to equip the 925th Fighter Regiment. They were based at Yen Bai Air Base, close to Hanoi, and saw very active service through the second phase of the Vietnam War.
  Just like any other type of fighter in service with the NVDRAF the MiG-19S was mostly used for point air defence os strategically important targets against USAF bombing raids.
