Mikoyan Gurevich MiG 17 Fresco
 

The MiG17 was directly developed from the MiG 15.
Larger and more powerful, it could go supersonic
in horizontal flight for a short time. The MiG17
was developed further to fit other than fighter roles
like ground attack, fighter bomber, radar directed
interceptor etc.
