challenge for American pilots with their Sabres jet fighters. As all aviation
regiments started to receive new jet fighters in 1950-ies, cadets, and even
skilled pilots needed to master MiG-15. The Mikoyan bureau began to develop
special training modifications for MiG-15, which had to have a seat for a
second pilot. This modification was named MiG-15 UTI (“Uchebno trenirovochny
istrebtel”) which stands for “A jet
trainer” or, according to the NATO classification, “The Midget”.
