Against them ranged small arms fire, artillery, guided surface to air missiles and MiGs of the North Vietnamese Air Force. Alongside the supersonic MiG-21 was the older subsonic MiG-17F. This aircraft, codenamed Fresco, was a very maneuverable opponent, and certainly a match for the Skyhawk. Between them, they formed the backbone of the air war over Vietnam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32688278667361,"sku":"5055286672156","price":35.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/orig_8466144_22077_jpg.jpg?v=1707345655","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/5055286672156-airfix-mig-17f-fresco-douglas-a-4b-skyhawk-dogfight-720","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
