Now, if you’re curious about the MiG E-8-2, here’s a fun tidbit. It was part of a Soviet effort to explore high-speed interceptor capabilities. While not as famous as its MiG-21 sibling, the E-8-2 tested some groundbreaking tech back in the day. Canards were one of its unique features, designed to improve its maneuverability. Sadly, the project was shelved, but it’s fascinating to think about what might have been if it had entered mass production.
