The North American F-86 Sabre leveled the long-awaited battlefield in Korea against the MiG-15. The Sabre, with its J47 turbojet and strafe wings, was superior to any aircraft deployed up to that point.
However, it was not an overnight victory, and the MiG had the advantage in most situations. However, the gap narrowed with time, and further development will narrow the gap. The F-86F was able to paint a picture on par with its rivals, and in some cases even surpassed them. The F-86's success is evidenced by the production figures of 9,860 aircraft.
