Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15bis, other users

Preliminary note: This is a special post as we realized that we had forgot to post one set of MiG-15bis drawings.
The MiG-15bis was the main fighter of many countries during the early 1950s and in some cases even way beyond. The countries covered in this post are:

• Cambodia: Apparently the Royal Khmer Air Force, established in 1954 bought initally a small amount of MiG-15bis. They served until the MiG-17 arrived in 1963. However, as we couldn't find graphical evidence, (and most probably the MiG-17s of the Royal Khmer Air Force were mistaken with the MiG-15)  the drawing should be considered as purely speculative.
• Guinea-Bissau: One source claims that Guinea-Bissau had one MiG-15bis intended to be used as an advanced trainer. It was supplied in as late as 1974 (when the country got the independence from Portugal) but it was most probably mistaken with a MiG-17. We decided to drawn it nonetheless but with graphical evidences lacking, it should be taken as speculative.
• Mongolia: Being an Eastern Bloc country, it comes no surprise that the MiG-15bis composed the main fighter force of the Mongolian People's Army Air Force. Forty-eight of them were supplied by the USSR in the early 1950s and were kept in active service until most of them were replaced by the MiG-17 in the late 1950s.
• USSR: Being the home country of the MiG-15bis, it formed the bulk of the fighter force of the Soviet Air Forces (VVS). It served from 1950 until the mid 1950s when it was gradually replaced by the MiG-17 and was deployed everywhere were the VVS was. From East-Germany to the Far East, almost every VVS fighter regiment saw the MiG-15bis serving among their ranks. It was also used in acrobatical squadrons which increased even more its popularity among the Soviet citizens.
• North Vietnam: One source claims that the MiG-15bis served with the North Vietnamese Air Force from its foundation in 1954 and was replaced in 1963 by the MiG-17. However, that data is wrong as the NVAF was founded in 1963 with the MiG-17 being the first jet fighter to serve there. Most probably as the MiG-17 and the MiG-15 can be easily mistaken, everything comes from a misunderstanding. Anyway, we couldn't let the chance pass and we drawn a speculative MiG-15bis in North Vietnamese colours.

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15UTI, part four, African users

The MiG-15UTI served also in many African countries. Those are:

• Angola: When the Angolan Air Force was established in 1975 it was equipped with Soviet equipment and trained by Cuban pilots. Among the material supplied by the Soviet bloc there was a batch of MiG-15UTI trainers that were used both for training pilots and recon missions against South African and UNITA forces in the context of the Angolan Civil War. The UTIs continue to serve nowadays, together with other trainers, with the Angolan 9th Training Squadron which is part of the 24th Training Regiment, based at Menongue Air Base.
• Congo-Brazzaville: After achieving independence in the 1960s, and undergoing a revolution, in the 1970s the Congo-Brazzaville Air Force decided to switch to Soviet equipment. Among that new supplied aircrafts there were a number of MiG-15UTIs that served in the FAC (Force Aérienne Congolaise) and, during the late 1990s it's known that many of them, due to the Congolese Civil War, were in derelict condition.
• Guinea-Bissau: After achieving independence, the air force was equipped (as initially they just had three North-American T-6Gs) with limited Soviet material, among them, two MiG-15UTIs. They served until 1991 when they were put in storage condition at the hangars of the Osvaldo Vieira International Airport due to the lack of funds.
• Guinea-Conakry: After achieving independence, the air force was established with Soviet assistance in 1961. Just like Bissau, they got two MiG-15UTIs together with other Soviet aircrafts. They were most probably retired from service and/or scrapped in the 1980s when their air force underwent a small modernization process.
• Madagascar: The Madagascar Air Force received a small number of UTIs when their air force was founded. Not much is known about their usage, but most probably they haven't been used a lot. As the information about these UTIs is rather scarce, the drawing should be taken as speculative.
• Mali: During the mid 1960s the Soviets supplied a single MiG-15UTI to the newly founded Mali Air Force. It was used to train pilots in the usage of the MiG-17F which just had 5 of them. They served well until the 1990s when the air force was somewhat modernized.
• Mozambique: Apparently, the Mozambican Air Force got some ex East-German UTIs shortly after their independence. They were used during the Mozambican Civil War during the 1980s and most of them were probably destroyed.
