MIG 21:
The MiG-21 is a Soviet supersonic fighter aircraft that first flew in 1955 and was developed as a successor to the MiG-19. This aircraft is very well known in the Czech Republic, because it served in our army for a long time. This aircraft was developed in the Mikoyan and Gurevich office in the Soviet Union. In NATO code it had the nickname Fishbed. The aircraft was put into service in 1959 and at that time had everything that the Soviet Union needed. Small, fast, reliable and most importantly simple for mass production. According to sources, up to 13,000 of them were produced in all different variants. The MiG-21 was in active service in many countries around the world, such as the USSR, China, India, Egypt, Cuba, Vietnam and others. In some countries it is still in service, while in others it was replaced by newer aircraft. The MiG-21 became known for its use in military conflicts, such as the Vietnam War or the Gulf War. Due to its ability to quickly respond to various situations and its effectiveness in combat, the MiG-21 was a favorite aircraft of many pilots and is still considered an important element of modern combat aviation.
