The MiG-3 was the Soviet interceptor that grew out of the MiG-1, reworked at Factory No. 1 in Moscow to cure the faults found in the earlier fighter. It replaced the MiG-1 on the production line on 20 December 1940 and was built in large numbers through 1941 until the factory was switched to the Ilyushin Il-2. About 981 were with the air forces on 22 June 1941, when the German invasion began. Designed as a high-altitude fighter powered by a Mikulin AM-35A engine, it was hard to fly and fought mostly at low altitude over the Eastern Front, where it proved inferior to the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and most Soviet contemporaries.
