In what situation? In a straight out speed contest, obviously the MiG-21, the same in a stand-off fight (AAM etc).
But in a turning fight, probably the MiG-15. Don't forget, the USAF had a lot of problems dealing with the NVAF MiG-17 over Vietnam, the 'modern' jets tended to sacrifice manoeuvrability for speed.

Putting it the other way around, would the Soviets have ever made the MiG-21 if the MiG-15 had half a chance to beat the Fishbed?
You are comparing a subsonic 1st generation fighter with a bi-sonic 2nd generation aircraft. Definitely all the advantages goes to the newer aircraft. I'd vote for the MiG-21.

A MiG - 21 is a vastly superior fighter to the MiG - 15, all things being equal the MiG - 21 would easily destroy the MiG - 15.

I keep pay attention "dogfight" between those 2 planes. The F-22 is stand-off via nicely over one hundred miles. They take out the enemy (particular even the SU-40 seven) in the past a dogfight will take place. The SU-40 seven could be an incredible 5th gen against US's 4th gen yet it is so a techniques because it is going. Sorry tot burst your SU bubble. they have pitted the F-22 in distinctive conflict situations with 12 or extra combatants against it, no longer a million got here everywhere close to the F-22 ask any genuine fighter pilot and you should get an trouble-free answer (i could wish so any way).

Pilot A vs Pilot B
it depends on the man behind the machine and not the machine
