Описание: By the end of the 1960s, most air forces had a well-developed air craft industry using second-gen eration jet fighters - the MiG-21 Fishbed, the F-4 Phantom II, the F-5 Freedom Fighter, and the Mirage III. These fighters were high performance (a top speed of Mach 2.0 or better and a 19,000- to 20,000 m/62,335 to 65,616 ft. service ceiling), carried guid ed air-to-air missile (AAM) armament, and fire-control radar enabling day-and-night, all-weather operations. Simultaneously, third-generation fight ers were emerging, such as the MiG-23 Flogger, the Mirage F.l, and the SAAB JA/AJ-37 Viggen in Sweden. No quan tum leap in performance was needed at this stage. The main requirements were longer range, better maneuverability and versatility, with the ability to oper ate from semi-prepared airstrips.
