Taking advantage of combat experience in the [[Korean War]] with the [[MiG-15]], and recognizing the factors that put the [[MiG-15]] at a disadvantage with the U.S. [[F-86 Sabre]], the Mikoyan and Gurevitch design bureau produced the  '''MiG-17''', NATO reporting name '''FRESCO'''. This [[fighter aircraft#second-generation|second generation]] jet [[fighter aircraft]] looked superficially alike, but more sharply swept wings and an afterburner, making it faster and somewhat more maneuverable. It could hit Mach 1 in level flight. Its built-in weapons were not as heavy as those of the [[MiG-15]], but with 3x23mm autocannon, faster firing.
