Best Answer

"Mig" is a term that refers to a Russian fighter and more specifically a jet-fighter made by the company Mikoyan-Gurevich. This term came into use by the US Air Force during Viet Nam War when referring to the Mig 17 or Mig 19 or Mig 21 fighter jets.

So the Mig was a jet fighter used to attack bombers or other fighters.

Does that answer your Question?

Great answer I just have a little more that might help

The exact purpose of a MiG would have to be determined by the model of MiG itself. Most of the Mig's like the 15,17,19,21,23 where strictly fighter's the 25,31 are interceptors for shooting down bombers not dog fights, and the 27 is a ground attack striker

Last but not least is the 29 This is basically the Russian version of a f 15 it can be used in diffrent capacities from fighter to strike as well as intercepter
