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:

  • Amazingly high top speed.
  • Good sustained turn rate.
  • Reasonably high acceleration for its size.
  • R-23T all aspect missiles.
  • Swept-wing aircraft.
  • HUD displays speed and altitude information, most useful in simulator mode.
  • Can carry 6 x R60 AAMs.
  • Contains IRST tracking system and decent radar that allows you to track aerial targets at ground level.
  • Varied armament preset selection.

Cons:

  • Underwhelming instantaneous turn rate.
  • Low countermeasure count.
  • 23 mm cannons are rather weak with Default belt.
  • Rather low ammunition count for the 23 mm cannon.

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
