There’s been at least one defection involving a MiG-15.
Chuck Yeager, amongst others, tested it.

Not that this is the same aircraft, of course, but maybe painted like it?

A photo and a question:


What is the intake(?) on the front side of the vertical tail? And why does it leave such a dirty trail on the tail? Is it an APU exhaust?

Ooh or is the dirt just from the thrust reverser?

The filth is the thrust reverser. The intake is for a cooling system.

She’s a dirty bird mate!
