I think these numbers are the result of misinformation from the West.

It was MiG "18-50" not "Mig-18".Jnes 1991-1992 publishes it correctly formatted without a hyphen.

It doesn't fall in the main designation sequence.

What am I supposed to glean from this scan of an obsolete book? What project?

From Ailes 3/1956,

of course they meant here,a MiG-19 Farmer,but the strange thing they called it TsAGI-418 ?.

Let me introduce you to a thing called "mistakes", where during the cold war magazines and books were published with wrong information, guesswork and outright lies about Soviet aircraft.

Presumably, this is from the Flying through time MiG book? At any rate, new to me.

After looking through the twitter feed, I am certainly sure now, that the original source is the Russian book "Миг: Полет сквозь время Том 2" (English: "MiG: Flight through time Volume 2").
