Mig 21 Fishbed: Most Iconic Soviet Fighter

Indian Mig 21 baison killed a Pakistan Air force F 16 . 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

mig-21 is very good

16 Feb 2019 , an Indian IAF mig-21 aka Bison shot down Pakistani PAF F16

Because sometimes it depends on the pilot not the plane... F16 had the BVR advantage over mig-21..but somehow Indian pilot showed his skills and take a F16..

Moral of the story:- Russian armaments aren't bad at all..

Western monopoly has some serious hypocrisy...

I always loved the MiG-21. I wish Canada had ignored the U.S. and completed the purchase of the MiG-21. Instead we were saddled with American junk like the F-104 Starfighter, the F-5 Tiger and the somewhat better F-101 Voodoo.

Dicono che il Gripen e meglio del Sukoy ..un mattone che pesa 7 tonnellate e meno veloce del MIG 21B...costo 70.000.000 centoquaranta miliardi per evitare elettronica SAAB chiudere radar

We see in the pics mister Gurevich. But where is mister Mikoyan?

Great plane...

I can't stand the robot voice

Bla bla bla Mig21 became obsolete the minute in came into production

E piu leggero e veloce del Phantom ...F16 e F35..limportante sono i missili ... 💓

Questi ucraini devono schiattare di rabbia.....

One of the first models I built

I would love to see a dog fight between a Mig 21 and an F-5E Tiger. I think that would be a really good fight!

You Yanks will never admit to fact that a Indian MIG 21 shot down a PAK F-16 in 2019

Awesome video. Very informative. Thank you for sharing it.

@2.17 now that’s a Sri Lanka Air Force Chinese built Chengdu F-7GS

The ultimate and bad ass mig

Why are there so many Su-7s in the video?

This thing is a flying coffin. The Romanian air force has been operating them for 50 years in different variants and has modernized them a few times over. In this time 26 of them (twenty-six) have crashed due to technical reasons and killed their pilots. Latest accident was in March 2022. Not because they were shot down, not because they hit a bird, not because of weather or performing sometype of combat activity. They just dropped out of the sky for no reason, and to my recollection there wasn't a single pilot ejection, presumably because the safety systems are also crap. After the latest 2022 accident the MoD saw reason and finally retired them. They offered them to Ukraine for free and Ukraine didn't even want them.....

Mig21 still serves in Romanian air force :)

Balalaika

en la guerra de angola los mig 21 y mig 23 cubanos golpearon duramente a los mirage sudafricanos .

Modernise a thousand of these and unleash them in Ukraine and Carnage shall ensue.

Un bel aereo valido alla pari del Phantom..F16...Mirage...con avionica aggiornata

Good video without an annoying, clumsy robo-voice. Many Soviet designs were brutal on esthetics, Fishbed included. The cone inlet was practical but lacks the sleek design of Western aircraft. Function and quantity has its own quality.

its a nonsense fighter easy to shoot down

I would love to fly one!

You forgot 2019 Indo-Pak Stand off conflict, when Mig-21 BISON killed a F-16.

🧡🧡🧡

MIG-21 IS ❤

The metaphor here is the WW2 M-4 Sherman tank. It was never as tecnologically advanced as its German opposition. It never had as good a gun as its German opposition. But we made factors more of them than the Germans did theirs, and it was as simple to maintain as a car, whose engies it used in some models. As a result, the Israelis were using M-4 derivatives in the 70s.

The Best Mig 21 Lancer Romanian Air Force

Saw a privately owned MiG21 at the 2016 Joint Base Lewis-McChord Airshow - blew me away. Hope the owner will bring it back after 7 years to the show this July.

the plane will go down in aviation history as a legend

nice DCS footage XD

Mi è sempre piaciuto..sarebbe ancora utile contro i TANK ucraini

This aircraft is an enduring symbol of freedom and military might. In many parts of the world, the children draw a recognizable silhouette of a MiG-21 when you ask them to draw an airplane. Airshows in Serbia, where I am from, almost always feature a MiG-21 in one way or another. Now that we enter the supermaneuverable stealth fighter era, a MiG-21 is slowly but surely becoming a relic of a bygone age. As many other revolutionary machines, it will always be a beloved aircraft with pilots, ground crews and enthusiasts.

A very fast jet. Would make an excellent interceptor. Really only need good upgraded

Ah the Mig 21, not the most effective interceptor in the world, but it was cheap and easy to operate. The ability of the Soviets to produce them in large numbers and export them cheaply definitely was an effective part of their Cold War strategy.

Gurevich has nothing to do with the MiG-21. The last aircraft in the creation of which he participated was the MiG-17. All photographs are from that period. It's just that Mikoyan kept his name in honor of his friend with whom he started.

My Grandfather flew these aircraft from 1969 to 1988. In 1971 war he flew these over East Pakistan and was part of the team that destroyed the Kurmitola and Tejgaon runways of PAF, apart from bombing the most famous Dacca Government house which led to eventual surrender of Pakistan.

You very smartly forgot that Indian MIG 21 shotdown Pakistan F16 in 2019 in air to air combat 😅😅😅😅

You should scrub your content. You are showing pics of jets that aren't the jets the video is about. Specifically a Sukhoi when you're talking about the Mig-21

pak air forc shot down mig 21 in karagl war and indian air forc abhinandan wing camander also

Lol this AI voice + DCS made videos xD

I'm in Israel.In1966,following a spectacular espionage/intelligence operation,Israel was able to bring the defection of an Iraqi air force pilot with the Mig21 he was flying,to Israel.Thus giving Israel and the U.S(American speciallists,landed here less than12hours after the plane had landed here)the chance to thoroghly inspect and study the plane.Israeli airforce pilots practiced dog fights against the Mig21...

With a large RADAR the inlet becomes a thin slit: lots of surface with friction. There is a long, unswept leading edge. The Mirage III uses a cone as small as possible.

On a larger plane this intake may still work. A short, stubby, but wide fighter? With a high bypass engine.
