Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Large amount of countermeasures
• Can carry a drop tank extending the plane's range
• Good acceleration
• Can carry very capable missiles, such as the all-aspect RB74 with a 30G maximum overload

Cons:

• No tracer rounds making it hard to hit enemy aircraft
• Very limited ammo supply with only 150 rounds with no tracers
• No bombs or guided air-to-ground missiles
• The afterburner's fuel consumption is overwhelmingly fast

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
