Do you know that Finland Airforce had MiG's too? That was pretty special, because they are a western country, but they have a Russian border, it's neighbors. And it must have been during years when Moscow did not yell NO! Anyhow, those pilots learnt Russian on the fly, they got a conversion course in Russian, no choice, learn fast, dudes. Everything in those cockpits was лике тнис! No English. These MiG's where okay for the role they got. Why buy way more expensive planes, from Sweden or France or the Yanks, when those MiG's can do the job, too? So they did it!
