The Migs can pull Mach 3.
They are either equivalent or better.
$50 Trillion was spent by the USSR on military equipment during SALT1 and SALT2 treaties (1970 - 1980).
Funny that.
The Mig technology especially the powerplant is based on western NATO design.
The KGB stole the technology. RB - 199 Turbo Union it was called.

Have a look at this.
Mach 3 is usless in air-to-air combat.
G-turns and high climb performance count.

Early sixties technology.
And this.

The mig is capable of all this ability.
Its a narrow margin.
