Military experts say the evi dence is plain that the Mikoyan Gurevich design was turned out originally to defend Russia against attack by high-flying bombers. It is a purely defensive airplane with a flight endur ance of about 45 minutes. Its armament is slow-firing cannon, suited to fighting bombers rath er than fighter planes like the F-86. Its rate of climb is ex tremely high for a plane of its vintage, intended to get it to bomber altitude on short notice. Awareness Evident Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Air Force chief of staff, recently told the United Press: "The fact that the Soviets should have invested so heavily in the production of this par ticular airplane is evidence of the Soviet Union's awareness of the power of our Strategic Air Command." The extent of the Russian in vestment is indicated by the numbers shifted from European Russia to Manchuria apparent ly more than 1,300 since No vember, 1950. The Reds have 900 MIGs available in Man churia today. In the past, 230 were shot down. And, if Amer ican experience is a guide, an other 230 MIGs have been lost through non-combat causes.

At first, in the hands of ob viously inexperienced airmen, they appeared in moderate num bers to defend the Yalu river valley. This phase lasted well into 1951. It put an end to day light attacks by piston-engine bombers along the Yalu. 2. Stung badly by the Allied air offensive against Red ground forces and supply routes, the Communists last fall threw in MIGs in vast numbers and be gan to range more deeply into northwest Korea. But, opposed by American Sabrejet fighters, the MIG forces failed to hamper Allied attacks on Red ground targets. 3. The "MIG Alley" battles have given the Reds invaluable training. Because of their great er numbers of planes, they have trained far more pilots in actual jet combat than the U.S. Air Force. Tanks, Bombers In Hanoi Fight Saigon, Indo-China U.R) French troops have thrown tanks and dive-bombers against Communist rebels in positions only 20 miles from Hanoi, it was announced Saturday. French forces attacked the rebels Friday, a general head quarters communique said. Near French Bastion The fighting took place in the vicinity of Vinyen, northwest of ' the city, the great French bastion in the north. Heavy artillery fire helped planes, tanks and troops to pin down two battalions of the Viet Minn rebel troops, the com munique said.
