I am in love with the Foxbat.

or Fishbed ?

after so many years, still a good aircraft !

Спасибо! Встретился с лейтенантской молодостью - МиГ-21!

[@JesseJames-kv7xc]

I don't know why but MiG planes are beautiful or is it just me?

[@FissionChips]

Doesn't do a thing for me, sorry. However, the English Electric Lightning is far sexier . . .

It’s just you. ! I find MIG 21 very ugly , and I was very close to them as I was a soldier in Romanian air force army 29 years ago. ! 😂

[@Jugend88139]

Its not just you ;) Mig and Sukhoi fighters are the most beautiful planes ever in my opinion and the MIG21 has the most badass look

[@calinutza33]

@@FissionChips I hope sexier than you ! 🤣

Scheint ja ein super,ganz toller,erfahrener pilot zu sein der MiG 21 Triebwerke an ihre Grenze bringen kann, fliegt also 2Flugzeuge gleichzeitig. Is ja auch. Wie 2 Fahrräder schieben. Das Triebwerk, also 1 Stück pro MiG 21, hat natürlich Begrenzer, ist aber sehr strapazierfähig und zeigt dem Piloten seine Grenzen!!

I just love how everybody overexadurates about everything that is about fighter jets like, pushing the throttle to full afterburner ain't hard. And landing without the engines

[@mithileshjha2561]

Very Good.

The pilots of this romanian MiG-21 were using Scorpion HMD systems, weren't they?

Those are DASH 3 helmets from Elbit

[@TrevorSachko]

Extreme limits? Like 100%, same as pretty much every aircraft?

[@user-gt5me3nf6b]

at the time was this mig-21 the best fighter jet or were there others which could challenge also?

[@klaasklapsigaar1081]

F4 Phantom

[@vasiilie3377]

Era bun că ajungea repede (interceptor).In rest nu prea a excelat.Raza mică de acțiune,foarte limitat în cea ce privește armamentul,nu a fost construit pt bătalii aeriene fară prea buna manevrabilitatea prea buna datorita aripilor delta etc

[@Lightning_Mike]

Back in 1997, the modernized LanceR it was one of the most advanced fighter jets in the whole of NATO, easily surpassing basically everything in the Russian inventory (save for the MiG-31, which had a more advanced radar). It came with the first modern Helmet Mounted Cueing System in NATO service (the Israeli Dash III - the current US JHMCS is a license built Dash V - the legacy Soviet Schel-3UM doesn't really count here), a planar array look down shoot down radar (Russian planes other than the MiG-31 still had basically funky parabolic antennas for their radars), MFDs, a HUD, the Litening targeting pod (still in service across NATO in various versions), Paveway (laser) and Opher (imaging infrared) guidance kits for Mk 80 bombs, Maverick air to ground misiles and Python 4, R-73 and Magic 2 missiles. It was a superbly maneouvrable fighter, but it bled speed like crazy when turning. What limited it were the small ammo capacity, the short range and the fact that there wasn't enough room in the nose for a high performance radar - the Israeli Elta EL/2082 was extremely advanced, but it had meh performance because it was physically too small. But, for the day, it was simply absurd. And we had 110 of them.

Skilled pilot pushes soviet mig-21 engines to extreme limits for THE LULZ

[@spdaltid]

Well, Mig 21 engine [singular] into afterburner and perhaps 2%boost. Basically, the pilot [like me] just firewalls it - the engineers do the 'extreme limit' stuff. Thankfully.
