Mikoyan not Migoyan .

Mikoyan is my dads idol literally.Mikoyan and Gurevich are equally in charge of creation and design of high speed fighter jet MIGs.And the name is just a Russian word :

MIG= mgnoveniy, mig.

English translation is MOMENT.

it is not from a russian word it is from the name.
As for the Armenian air force it might as well be nonexistent. There was a joke that back during the war when the turks shot down one of the planes Armenia lost half of its air force.

My favourite Mig, Mig-29:

And also, are sure it's just a russian word? I always though:

MI(koyan)G(urevich)
Incidently, the company is just MIKOYAN now, Gurevich part was dropped.

And does anyone have any info on Armenia's present day Airforce? I know it's not good, but any proper info would be appreciated.

Migs and Sukhois are the best. :)[/QUOTE]


Positive!! MIg is just a Russian word.Armenian translation is *akntart*.

Tigran LOL!! Its not after his name :)

look sleuth you can even check the links that pyunik gave. The encyclopedia even says how the Mi is from Mikoyan and G from Gurevich. hence MiG, check it boy.

:laugh:

I agree with you . MIG is from Mi (MIKOYAN)and G (gurevich)

But it also means moment. :)

[QUOTE=-Pyunik-]I just translated МиГ with an online translator and it came up as Instant. Wow, so I gues you are right. It is still funny how it is so much like an abbreviation though, they must have meant it that way.

As for the joke. :)[/QUOTE]
BINGO!!! i was looking for that word!! Thank you!!!

im glad we all agree. Gisher bari tghek

:laugh: :laugh:

Let's not forget there were Anastas Mikoyan and Artem Mikoyan, brothers, the initial being part of Stalin's henchmen and the latter being the one who designed the Mig.

Both brothers were enemies of Armenia and the Armenian people :evil:

Clearly if he is Stalins little bytch.

That xxxxxxx was the leader of arguably the most powerful country in the world, what did he do for Armenians? Nada, nothing. He could have easily given Artsakh and Javakhk back to us, but hey his master Jughashvili might have punished him in hell.

many armenians could have done the same, but no one did. How many armenian leaders weren't there in the soviet that could have done something?

Anyway, the hole point of soviet was, that, not to be a nationalist... :naughty: he acomplished that....and constructed a well working plane, what is wrong with that :D (ahhhh its called a "communist")
