Procena sposobnosti F-8, A-4, A-6 i A-7 protiv MiG-21
http://area51specialprojects.com/migs_area51.html
Citat:The USN evaluation of the F-8E found that the MiG-21 could out turn the F-8 in a close-in fight.xxZoom performance was comparable below 25,000 ft and on station time was also comparable. Large size and prominent smoke trail was a disadvantage. The F-8E was capable of exceeding the MiG-21 speed limit at low altitude. Acceleration performance was better than the MiG-21 at low and medium altitudes below 1.2 Mach
The MiG-21 size and shape looked very similar to an A-4. The xx A-4, A-6, A-7 possessed sufficient maneuverability in an initial break turn to thwart a MiG-21 attack. However, resulting energy loss allowed the MiG-21 to reattackxxwith comparative ease if the A-4/6/7 stayed in the fight at slow speed. The MiG-21 pilot could chose to engage or disengage the A-4, A-6, A-7 aircraft at will. The A-4 and A-6 could reverse and obtain a quick snap-shot if the MiG-21 overshot close-in. xx A-7A did not appear to have the necessary thrust to complete this nose high maneuver. The A-7 was a target, but with a chance to live!!!
