Talking about practicality and user-friendly. The F-86 had G-suits, hydraulics, and a climate control cockpit. The Mig-15 didn't. Pilot fatigue was a lot worse for the pilots of the Mig than the F-86

British Prime Minister Clement AttleeL "lets export forty Rolls-Royce Nene centrifugal flow turbojet engines to the Soviet Union and allow them to build them under licence" what could possibly go wrong....

That moment when the F‑86 Sabres started outmaneuvering MiGs with eerie precision must have been surreal for Soviet pilots — and the fact it came down to a “secret” radar gunsight just shows how tech and timing can quietly turn the tide of an air war.

The F-86 improved rapidly and by the end of the war it was equal or better than the MIG.
