The Macchi C.202 Folgore was the main fighter jet of the Italian Air Force during World War II, an improved version of the MC.200 Lightning fighter

The MC.202 Lightning fighter retains the wings, control devices, and parts of the fuselage of the MC.200 fighter, and uses the DB601A engine. The new aircraft had a good appearance and enhanced its attack capability. The MC.202 Lightning fighter was delivered to combat units for use in 1941. Later, the MC.202 Lightning fighter jet was equipped with two 20mm caliber machine guns on its wings.

The MC.202 Lightning fighter was first sent to the 17th Air Group on the front line in Libya, and later the 6th Air Group was also equipped with the MC.202 Lightning fighter.

In battles such as Tobruk, MC.202 Lightning fighters were very active
