Two MiG-3s shot down three German Bf-109s for the first time during the air battle on 29 June.The air battles in the summer of 1941 were fought mainly at 4,000 metres, and the MiG-3s were faster than the main German fighter, the Bf-109E, but as the MiG-3s could not open their cockpits at high speed to allow pilots to escape, many Soviet pilots flew with their cockpits open, causing the aircraft to lose 30 kph, resulting in the German Bf-109Es being faster instead The Bf-109E was faster. The MiG-3's performance was seriously hampered by numerous operational problems, and the Soviet authorities eventually ordered the discontinuation of production of the MiG-3
