That nickname though

[@OgrabliatorKorovanov]

initialy mig-15's nato codename was 'falcon' but after korean butthurt they renamed it

[@valkyriedefense]

Right?! NATO was not kind to the names of the Soviet planes

[@rosscollingwood5189]

As good as the MiG15 was, I do wonder how quickly the Soviets would have had something it in service if the British politicians had not so foolishly - or treacherously - given away the technology of those Rolls Royce engines.

[@valkyriedefense]

True

One wonders how quickly the Soviets would have had something like the MiG15 in service if the British politicians had not so foolishly - or treacherously - given away the technology of those Rolls Royce engines.

[@valkyriedefense]

Agreed! What did they expect was going to happen even if they signed a contract stating they wouldn't use them for combat?

[@dj_dazzy]

The US had already renaged on supersonic and atomic technology transfers and it looked again like the US was going back into a world isolationist stance hence selling the engines. The engines were reversed engineered from the Rolls Royce examples using Soviet metallurgy just like the Tu-4 was. The US have never always been friends... Just look at the origins of the Whitehouse.

Other things to improve:
- RR Nene engine is normally pronounced ‘Nēn’ (long e)
-some places in the video the background audio (jet engines whining) is louder than the narration
