Mig-15 rear visibility via Paolo Nurra

Rear visibility from the cockpit (rear), Mig-15 better than F-35!
The USMC uses optics on its rifles but still teaches basic marksmanship with iron sights.  Why?  Because stuff breaks and when it does you have to go back to the basics.

Like being able to look behind you.  For what its worth, YMMV.

    No they don't. I know this because my unit still has some M-16A2s and we had to teach a bunch of fucking boots how to use fucking iron sights for qual.
