The MiG-3 was accepted by the Soviet air force in early 1941. Regiments receiving the new fighter lodged complaints about poor quality. Investigation showed negligence by the Air Force Scientific Test Institute. “A number of senior managers were demoted, and the head of the institute, Major General A.I. Filin, was summarily executed.”

At altitude, the MiG-3 was outclassed by the German Bf 109 and later FW 190. More than 3,400 were built between 1941 and 1945.
