Survivability and armour
- 60 mm Bulletproof glass (64°) - In front of the pilot
- 10 mm Steel plate - Behind the pilots plane.
There is barely any armour in the plane to protect the pilot, fuel tanks or engine. the little armour it has will not save you from an head on attack with any enemy unless you are lucky.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Stunning acceleration
- Very good climb rate
- Good high speed manoeuvrability and can make turns at a high angle of attack
- Can wield 6 x R-60MKs
- GSh-23L cannon has 250 rounds (50 more than the MiG-21MF)
- Access to countermeasures and airbrakes
Cons:
- Bleeds speed very quickly
- Bad low speed manoeuvrability
- Rudder lock above 700 km/h can be frustrating when trying to get guns on target
- Doesn't respond well to wing damage
- Can overspeed easy at sea level due to tremendous acceleration.
- Low muzzle velocity for the GSh-23L cannon.
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main
template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />
. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===
, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.

Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- other literature.
