  • "Forward and rear fuel tanks held 430 litres (95 imp gal; 110 US gal) and 167 litres (37 imp gal; 44 US gal) respectively" - I think there ought to be a comma before respectively
  • Any page numbers for Gordon et al. for the specifications?
  • What does "Status unknown" in the infobox indicate?
    • You mean Status Unflown?
  • I really only see one thing where coverage could be expanded. Why was the whole project conceived? I'm assuming there's some Cold War arms race stuff for the reason why, but there's no explanation of this in the article. If there's specific background information known about why the Soviets were tinkering around with high-speed aircraft, that would be useful.
    • This is the period before air-to-air missiles when speed was king for fighters, so everybody wanted aircraft fast as possible. But that background really isn't covered in the sources

That's it, I think. Tidy little article. Hog Farm Bacon 01:37, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I think that I need to dust off one of my ancient AFV or artillery articles since you've now done two out of the three!--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 10:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
