Description
The MiG-21 is a supersonic jet fighter originally developed for the Soviet Air Force by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau. It was put into service in 1959, served in 60 countries and its most modern variants remain in service today. It is the most-produced supersonic combat aircraft with more than 13,000 units built (around 11 000 MiG 21s and around 2000 J-7s). The main operators include the Soviet Union, India, Yugoslavia, North Korea, and China. The MiG-21 has also been produced by China (as the Chengdu J-7), Czechoslovakia (as the Aero S-106) and India.
