On the photo you can see original Soviet MiG-17PF with RP-1 radar, PolAF used about 20 of them, Polish built Lim-5P was based on the later PF wariant with RP-5 radar. Well... Lots of mistakes here: 1. Lim-5 was still a frontline fighter, (some say fighter-bomber) with added A2G capability (limited). Lim-5 = MiG-17F - that is true. MiG-21 bis also carry some bombs. In spite of it - it's frontline fighter 2. Lim-6M are rebuilt Lim-5M to standard of Lim-6bis (built in series. Lim-6 stayed as a trial) 3. It's actually opposite, as I wrote above. It's worth to mention that Lim-6bis in comparison to Lim-5M has: -Syrena-2 and SRO-2 (RWR and IFF) -Front armor plate 10mm (640x666 - 29,3kg) -Front armor glass (60mm-12,65kg) -seat armor plate (16mm 305x450mm - 16kg) -head armor plate ( bended armor plate 280mmx320mm) -added an extra 2x wing pylons -breaking parachute in Lim-6bis. Lim-6M has no parachute - the main visible difference between 6M and 6bis 4. .Original MiG-17F was NEVER armed with R-3S missiles - almost true. I mentioned a modification pack called "AS" for MiG-17F. It was used used in CCCP only (it was offered to other WP members, but wasn't warm accepted, since new MiG-s were already available) 5. Thank you for correcting me. Yes I made a mistake - I mistaked A MiG-17PF (Fresco D) with MiG-17PM (Fresco E) see fotos. Sorry . Had those pictures deep in my mind in "Technika Wojskowa" and I was sure they were Lim's. Thanks again for being precise. 6. At the beginning - yes it should be a MiG 15 with afterburner. First modification was a additional fuselage section. Very soon it became clear that it's not enough. Actual flight test took more time as development of MiG-19. Whole new Wing. new design implemented whole new - structure and aerodynamics . Wings are stiffer and have more swept angle.

Lim-5 was a frontline fighter, but Lim-5M not, this was a dedicated light attack aircraft with secondary fighter capability due to much worse flight performance, 2, 3. Nothing was oposite, in early 70's commanders of communists PolAF decided that Lim-5P interceptors are already obsolete, but because aircrafts were quite young and in good condition they decided to rebuild them to Lim-6bis standard, those aircrafts were called after that rework Lim-6M, part of Lim-6M got AFA-39 camera in external underfuselage pod, those were called Lim-6MR, there is no difference in armor between polish MiG-17 variants, all of them had SPO-2, only early production Lim-5 had SRO-1, all rest SRO-2. Lim-5M's were rebuild to Lim-6bis standard as a series 1 and 2 and 3 (aircrafts with bort number start from digit 1 or 2 or 3), Lim-6's were rebuild as a series 4, new production aircrafts as a series 5 and 6, Briefly: Lim-5--> Lim-5M--> Lim-6bis series 1/2/3 Lim-6--> Lim-6bis series 4 Lim-5P--> Lim-6M or Lim-6MR 4. Nope, AS was a attack variant with added two pylons borrowed from MiG-21 and able to carry UB-16 pods, S-24 FFAR's and bombs, but NEVER any AA missiles, AS was created in half 70's, WP pact members had own attack variants already in service for over 10 years...... 5. I didn't said those are the same aircrafts, I just said 17 borrow a lot from 15, like whole front part of fuselage, undercarriage, control system, many electrical and pneumatical systems, almost all electronics, about 90 percent of cockpit equipment, whole catapult chair on the beginning, etc. 1

They were too old) (no new Tail) Lim-6bis is new built (has new Tail ) -> see foto Lim-6 was only prototype. Not sure how many built (if ever more than one) so "Lim-6--> Lim-6bis series 4 " is not possible. 6bis is new built, and 6 wasn't built in a numbers. After initial tests the extra tanks were removed. 4. You're wrong. I'm not talking about AS varian't (never heard about one, wasn't that interested).

foxbat155 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Again: Lim-5M (50 aircrafts built)--> rebuilt into Lim-6bis, series 1/2/3, Lim-6 (60 aircrafts built)--> rebuilt into Lim-6bis, series 4, Lim-5P (129 aircrafts built)--> survived aircrafts were rebuilt into Lim-6M (42 aircrafts rebuilt) or Lim-6MR (12 aircrafts rebuilt). Lim-5M have NOTHING to do with Lim-6M. Here photo of Lim-5M, conformal tanks on the wings, double main undercarriage wheels. Yes, "AS" was a rework package for MiG-17 "without letter" and MiG-17F, after those works both variants were called MiG-17AS. Only A-G ordnance on the new pylons. Sorry for that :). No point argue, I spent life on study all those things. 1
some1 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Foxbat is correct here. Lim-5M was a complex Polish modification that intended to turn Mig-17 into attack aircraft. And a failure. Lim-6 was another attempt at such modification, or rather the next phase of the whole project. Also a failure, IIRC the batch did not enter service. Lim-6bis was a much less ambitious modification that finally worked, and the previous variants were rebuilt to this spec, plus new batches were built. Lim-6M were 5P's rebuilt to serve similar role after they became useless as interceptors. Radars were removed and A2G pylons were added. 1 Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil WarBRD, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro

I'm proud to finish a Technical university in Rzeszow. My professors were engineers from M-18, TS-11, Lim-2/5/6. prof. Klepacki, prof. Kopecki. Of course. It doesn't make me an expert form Lim's, but I am an aircraft engineer. I may go wrong about small details, but nobody today can say about all the details regarding Lim production. Sources about Lim's are terribly inconsistent. Many original documents aren't anymore. Most western books base on inaccurate sources. (it's enough to say that wikipedia says that there were 60 Lim-5M and 40 Lim-6). And I remember other books that mentioned whole different numbers (or saying that actually Lim-6 was only a prototype). The mess is even bigger when one realise that a tail part of Lim-5 .... was replaceable with the one from Lim-2. And in military bases in purpose of well... various other reasons (understandable only if you're born in comunism) they were replaced repeatedly. Such planes were called by its pilots as far as I recall Lim-2,5 (or something like that). I knew personally a pilot who stated, that they became such mutants from Mielec factory. Many other planes were built not according to any mentioned above standards (like Lims without double carriage but with extra tanks). Also I know that there were at least couple variants of wing with conformal tanks. To make the matter more complicated, planes used to be rebuilt during main repairs (performed in WSK PZL Mielec) and according to current demand up- or downgraded. It looks good and clear only in the books I'm afraid. Edited June 27, 2023 by 303_Kermit

Though he said 'many differences' here,I think different people have different opinions of 'how many' should be called 'many'. You forget to add that a fuselage has also changed. It's longer than in MiG-15. And no - it's not obvious and easy job to do. As for amount of job: -One has to calculate vertical stability from the beginning. (basic) -mass distribution changes (that's hard problem, since it affects stability and requires other work) -Recalculate wings durability, and stiffness (complicated, requires static tests - expensive, + huge amount of difficult work for engineers team. It's easier to built new plane sometimes) -New swept wings = new stall behaviour, new flatter behaviour, whole new aeroelastic characteristics, changes in stability. (Huge amount of work for engineers, great risk of failure, and a lot of test : static and in flight) -New horizontal stab. and elevator (flatter tests, once again recalculate stability, redefine steering range, new transsonic characteristics) - big job. Lot of tests in tunel and in flight. -new behaviour by transsonic (much bigger than in MiG-15) speeds -> wing airflow affects elevator in completely new way. Characteristics in subsonic range of speeds, and transonic speeds must fulfill requirements. Some changes that help in one range of speeds - disturb other characteristics by o other range of speeds. Crucial milestone of work - and in many cases a place of many failures (like in F-100 or F-104). Trials, calculations, wind tunnel tests, flight tests. All tasks and changes are impossible for me to point out , but it's well described in couple publications. Those that I pointed out aren't even all the most important ones. I just wanted to show you briefly the amount of job done "just to change wings and horizontal stab." There are no (and can't be) different opinions about the temperature by which the water boils. MiG-17 was a complicated task for engineers, and they were pioneers in their job. Nobody done it before. Nobody to ask for advice. MiG-15 and MiG-17 look similar, but are not. 7 hours ago, dcn said: Later batches of MiG-15bis had PPK-1 system. ... any sources for that info? What MiG's or what Lim's ?

I have of course first of mentioned books - and whole series of them It's nice lecture, but its no valid source. There's many failures in it. It's not a "First hand source" - as for example flight manual or exploitation manual. I have such books for MiG-17 - and I assume that's the single really valuable source. The other fact is, that ... I can't recall where is says about MiG-15bis being produced with G-suit installation? in the second source you mentioned I just found that: quote: "Еще два месяца активных боев с F-80, F-86 и В-29 позволили пилотам 64 ИАК сформулировать требования по улучшению МиГ- 15бис, впервые появившиеся в документах Корпуса. Главным образом летчики требовали от создателей самолета: [...] — оснастить самолет противоперегрузочным костюмом;" end quote and later: quote: "Некоторые из ранее высказанных пилотами корпуса пожеланий уже удовлетворялись. Взамен автомата регулирования топлива АРТ-1К на двигателях МиГов 64 ИАК появился АРТ-8В, тот самый «автомат минимального давления топлива», который просили еще летчики 151 ГвИАД, в Корпус стали поступать самолеты, оснащенные «Барием-М» — ответчиком системы госопознавания. 3 января 1952 г. Министерство авиационной промышленности выпустило приказ №10 «О самолете МиГ-15бис», который предписывал окрасить истребители 64 ИАК матовой краской, оснастить МиГ- 15бис тормозными щитками увеличенной площади, установить дублирующее управление катапультой и обязывал завод №153 до 15 февраля 1952 г. оснастить трехканальными УКВ радиостанциями РСИУ-ЗМ «Клен» 60 «бисов» и направить их в 64 Корпус." it rather proves my point. G-suit wasn't the feature onboard MiG-15bis... maybe in War Thunder? The other problem with these publication is lack of any given sources. In good quality publication , author is obliged to point out the source on which one or another fact was presented. As for third "source" Again - the same case. It's not the first hand source. The text is long and very interesting. Thank you for that. I like such stories.

All MiG-17 without letter didn't had PPK system during production, some of them got this system during overhauls, so why 15bis would get this and then further MiG-17 not?. Probably MiG-15bis had use as a PPK's testbed and this gave info about it. Manuals dated 1953/54 says nothing about PPK system, and this publishing date is after MiG-15 production end in USSR (1952). 1

I don't think I need to talk to you anymore.It is really boring to talk with a stubborn person. 2023/7/2 PM3点35分,303_Kermit说: It says: That [OKB Mikoyan] started to develop G-suit. Again lack of sources, but more important no info on about actual series production. It's not that easy to convert production line to built something new. I may also make no sense, in the light of new - improved constructions. MiG-17 and MiG-19 PPK-1 is g-suit,not aircraft component 2023/7/2 PM3点35分,303_Kermit说: Source of what exactly? I'm not the one who tries to prove something. Logical conversation demands, that statement must be proved. If it would be otherwise , the world would be very hard place. One could then write "I say that in galaxy Andromeda flies an great pink magic unicorn. Prove me that there isn't." 2023/6/29 PM2点34分,303_Kermit说: "MiG-17F is allowed to dive with full thrust without any limits" Ok,now I know this is made up by you. Edited July 3, 2023 by dcn 1

Here you go: https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB443/docs/area51_52.PDF and here: https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB443/docs/area51_51.PDF Those are USAF & USN made tests in flight of Lim-5 serial number 1C-07-18, built in Poland in 1956-57. The LIS-5 engine was serial number 559128 Personally I enjoy such statements: "Every Navy pilot engaged in the project lost his first engagement with the Fresco C. The Fresco's overall performance in the ACM {Air Combat Maneuvering) environment surprised all crews concerned with the project. The AlB on the Fresco engine gives it a performance level that cannot be duplicated or realistically simulated by U.S. airplanes with similar turn capability. Thus U.S. pilots were not accustomed to fighting an airplane with such an engine/turn performance combination. The relative age of the Fresco also led to a general overconfidence by U.S. crews prior to their first engagement. " and here: "There are no U.S. Navy airplanes that can simulate the performance of the Fresco C. Consequently, the aircrews who fought the Fresco during the test had no ACM training against this type airplane. The great improvement in U.S. Navy aircrew performance after only on simulated ACM engagement dramatically illustrated the lack of realistic ACM training" In wikipedia (unfortunately only in english) there is a very good article with many sources given on it. Between them there's a statement: " The afterburner doubled the rate of climb and greatly improved vertical maneuvers. But while the plane was not designed to be supersonic, skilled pilots could just dash to supersonic speed in a shallow dive, although the aircraft would often pitch up just short of Mach 1." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-17 Below the article there's very rich compilation of sources on which the article was created. You can check them out. And finally here: from original flight instruction: The range of speeds. There are various other statements, to confirm was I wrote, but that what I gave is enough. One has to apply aerodynamic laws for transonic range of speeds. (My advice is Арзанников Аэродинамика - I use polish translation of it). MiG-17 accelerates to it's maximum speed in horizontal flight, or in shallow dive. By reaching about Ma~1 as a result of built a shockwave on wing surface plane becomes tail heavy, and exits dive. The steeper the dive, the more vigorous pitch up reaction for it. My best regards Edited July 3, 2023 by 303_Kermit 1

Well, actually this is very simple, some engines have compressor/turbine revolutions speed limitations, some aircrafts have speed limit during diving, so in MiG-17 you don't have to worry about the engine and aircraft itself during the dive. 1

I don't want to put the same information from earlier posts, but you take a wrong way Therefore, just check the link below: https://www.roadrunnersinternationale.com/migs_area51.html There is a post from T.D. Barnes about "MiGs in Area 51". All limits, which Kermit gave you, are included in page. Author wrote: 2 hours ago, dcn said: MiG-17's maximum mach limit is M 1.03 Being serious, it's only number for memorize which you can't cross. My questions are: 1) How many times you will fly with this speed ? 2) How do you want to reach this speed without diving? Excluding height... For example, here's a table from "МиГ-15Бис - Техническое описание - Книга I": Flying on MiG-15 above V = 0.98Ma is associated with pulling to the left side of your wing. Greenhorn couldn't control the plane with this speed without training and practise. But remember, the control above V = 0.85Ma is much harder than under. The best maneuver results you will get with V = 0.6Ma. Diving in MiG-15 isn't possible without reducing V with airbrakes. It's strongly connected with very heavy reaction on steering above V = 0.85Ma. Following your way of thinking, we can fly V = 1Ma without any imagination... It doesn't work like that...

I have an Impression that you just like to argue. No matter the reason or person. We presented you an arguments on why MiG-17 could dive without limits. However, to understand them you need, a knowledge of high speed aerodynamics, and shockwave mechanics at least. To understand that, you need a knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. To understand that you need higher mathematics; like inverse Laplace transformations to begin with, vector calculus, and conformal mappings to understand basic language of aerodynamic. Then your statements will matter, you will understand what we're talking about, and people will care about: 2 hours ago, dcn said: ,I just want to say With my best regards Kermit
