It was a variant of the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17, which was produced in Poland as the Lim-5.

The licensed aircraft was given the designation Lim-5 (an abbreviation of: licencyjny my\u015bliwiec \u2013 “licensed fighter”). The first Lim-5 was built in WSK-Mielec on November 28, 1956, replacing the production of the Lim-2 (MiG-15bis). By production’s end in 1960, 477 Lim-5s were built, becoming Poland’s primary fighter. (This number includes the Lim-5R reconnaissance variant, equipped with an AFA-39 camera.) From 1959 Poland began to produce the licensed MiG-17PF interceptor, equipped with the Izumrud-5 (RP-5) radar, as the Lim-5P. By 1960, 129 were built.In the late 1950s work commenced in Poland on developing a light attack aircraft based on the Lim-5. The basic MiG-17 and Lim-5 could only carry two 250\u00a0kg bombs, which replaced their underwing fuel tanks. After building prototypes, designated ‘CM’, in 1960 Poles began production of an attack aircraft, Lim-5M. It introduced several modifications, mostly to allow use from rough airfields. It had double undercarriage wheels, a braking parachute, and attachments for RATO. The wing sections close to the fuselage were noticeably thicker, due to them containing additional fuel tanks. Instead of two bombs, it could carry two launchers for eight S-5 rockets (57\u00a0mm). By 1961, 60 Lim-5M’s were built and from November 1961 operated by the Polish Air Force. They were not successful; thicker wings decreased performance, made handling tricky, and increased drag so much that the range was improved much less than planned.The Lim-5M was regarded only as an interim variant, and work on a more advanced design continued, testing many different ideas. In 1961, 40 Lim-6 attack aircraft were built. They introduced new blown flaps, but tests showed problems with the modified Lis-6 jet engine and the aircraft were not delivered to the Air Force. As a result, it was decided to redesign the thick wing sections with fuel tanks, blown flaps, double wheels and RATO and return to only slightly modified Lim-5 construction, with increased weapon-carrying capability instead.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In 1963 the Poles started production of the final variant of the attack plane, the Lim-6bis. It had standard wings and single wheels, like the Lim-5 fighter. One important change was the addition of two underwing weapon pylons close to the fuselage. Another was the fitting of a braking parachute container below the rudder. These aircraft entered the service in the Polish Air Force in 1963, but were not officially accepted until 14 September 1964.By 1964, 70 Lim-6bis were built and a number of Lim-5Ms and Lim-6s were rebuilt as Lim-6bis. A number were also converted to a reconnaissance variant Lim-6R (or Lim-6bisR) with an AFA-39 camera under a fuselage.As Lim-5P fighters became obsolete, from 1971 they were also converted to the Lim-6bis standard, under the designation of Lim-6M. Their radars were removed, but the radar covers in the central air intake remained. They were fitted with additional underwing pylons, but not with a braking parachute. Some aircraft were modified to a reconnaissance variant designated the Lim-6MR.  The Lim-6bis was armed with two NR-23 23\u00a0mm cannons (80 rounds) and one N-37D 37\u00a0mm cannon (40 rounds), like the MiG-17 (the Lim-6M was probably armed with three NR-23 23\u00a0mm cannons, like MiG-17PF). It had four underwing pylons. Typical armament consisted of two Polish-made Mars-2 launchers for 16 unguided 57\u00a0mm rockets S-5 each, or 100\u00a0kg bombs. It could also carry 250\u00a0kg bombs or launchers on standard outer underwing pods, but usually they were used for 400l fuel tanks.Operational history[edit]Lim-6bis, 6R, 6M and 6MR were used by the Polish Air Force as its most numerous attack aircraft until the 1980s. The last were finally withdrawn in 1992.Some were exported to the East Germany (German Democratic Republic), Egypt and Indonesia. Some GDR machines found themselves in Guinea-Bissau in the 1980s.Variants[edit]  A former Indonesia Lim-5 on display in the United States in North Korean markings  Lim-5Day-fighter (licensed MiG-17F) (serial numbers: 1C 00-01 to 1C 19-14).Lim-5RReconnaissance version of Lim-5.Lim-5PAll-weather interceptor (licensed MiG-17PF) (serial numbers: 1D 00-01(?) to 1D 06-41).Lim-5MAttack aircraft (serial numbers: 1F 01-01 to 1F 03-30).Lim-6Experimental attack aircraft (serial numbers: 1J 04-01 to 1J 04-40).Lim-6bisBasic attack aircraft (numbers 1J 05-01 to 1J 06-40).Lim-6R (Lim-6bisR)Reconnaissance variant of Lim-6bis.Lim-6MInterceptor aircraft, conversion of Lim-5P.Lim-6MRReconnaissance aircraft, conversion of Lim-5P.Operators[edit]  Lim-5 in East German markings  A private PZL-Mielec Lim-6R (Lim-6bisR), aircraft Registration N619M (NX619M\/619 red) construction Number 1J0619 at Miramar Airshow 2000.Current Operators[edit]\u00a0Guinea-BissauFormer Operators[edit]\u00a0Bulgaria\u00a0Egypt\u00a0East Germany\u00a0GermanyAll scrapped or sold to Guinea Bissau.\u00a0Indonesia\u00a0Israel\u00a0Poland\u00a0Syria\u00a0United StatesReceived in 1968 from Israel for tests in USAF and US Navy.
