Product Description

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 (NATO reporting name ?ishbed") was undoubtedly the most successful Cold War fighter in terms of reach, operating in over 50 countries over four continents around the globe and it still serves many nations a half-century after its maiden flight.

The fighter made aviation records. At least by name, it is the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history and the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War, and it had the longest production run of a combat aircraft (1959 to 1985 over all variants). It? seeing production well past the 10,000 example mark.

It was popularly nicknamed ?alalaika? from the aircraft? planform-view resemblance to the Russian stringed musical instrument by Polish pilots due to the shape of its fuselage.

The MiG-21 was used extensively in the Middle East conflicts of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s by the air forces of Egypt, Syria and Iraq.

Three Syrian pilots are known to have attained ace status while flying the MiG-21, all three during the 1973?974 engagements against Israel. Due to the incomplete nature of available records, there are several pilots who have un-confirmed aerial victories (probable kills), which when confirmed would award them ?ce?Status: S. A. Razak of the Iraqi Air Force with four known kills scored during the Iran-Iraq War (until 1991; sometimes referred to as the Persian Gulf War), A. Wafai of the Egyptian Air Force with four known kills against Israel.
