WWW/25 : DDR: In the mid 1950’s the Soviet Union introduced the new Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-19 Farmer interceptor/fighter-bomber. This was a twin-engine (with afterburner) advanced development of the earlier MiG-17 Fresco design and the first Soviet fighter capable of supersonic speed (Mach 1.355 in level flight). The Soviets deployed the type in East Germany around 1957 as a front-line interceptor and numerous Soviet intercepts using the MiG-19 were conducted on NATO aircraft, including shooting down a USAF North American / Rockwell T-39 Sabreliner on a training mission that strayed into East German airspace on January 28th, 1964 with the loss of all 3 crew onboard. From 1959 the LSK began to operate them alongside the Soviets with 12 MiG-19S Farmer C fighter-bombers armed with 3 x 30mm cannons and a hard point under each wing for a rocket pod or 250kg bomb; and 12 MiG-19PM Farmer D interceptors which had the cannons removed and were armed with 4 x AA-1 Alkali (Kaliningrad K-5M) beam-riding air-to-air missiles. Both types remained in service with the LSK until 1969. Despite good handling characteristics the type had problems with engine reliability, stabilisation issues and relatively high accident rates which meant that the MiG-19 had a reasonably short service career with the Soviet Union and GDR, who switched to the more favourable new MiG-21 Fishbed (according to DDR-Luftwaffe.de 4 MiG-19PM and 5 MiG-19S were lost in accidents in LSK service i.e. 37%!).
