MiG 's genarally designed for interception.
During the Korean war some story of Us pilot says ;MiG's still can fly even got shoot because of the hydraul&&05;k sytem kept simple ,(bullet just in and out from fuselage ) and higher service ceiling and climb faster.
On that time US plane has arm-gun superioty.
Also Chinese and Korean pilot was awkward to use MiG's
They say MiG-29 has 11 G .

"While the Constant Peg pilots leaned that the Soviet aircraft were quite maneuverable, they also learned about a lot of interesting quirks, which could be exploited in combat." should read "

Plainly the author of this hasn't taken the time to read Red Eagles, the source of the MiGs is openly discussed - the early MiG-21s came from Indonesia, while much of the later stuff including the MiG-23s came from Egypt.
Also, while the pilots all adored the MiG-21, an amazing aircraft which retained nose authority at 70 knots (which is absolutely insane) - they hated the MiG-23 which was described as an aircraft that "tried to kill you every time you flew it", such was the nature of its unpredictable handling and nightmarish dogfighting "ability".
Of course Constant Peg didn't end, it just became something else. The Air Force has been playing with Mig-29s and Su-27s for many years now - I hope to live long enough to read those analysis reports when they are declassified in 20 or 30 years time.
