      It’s just that there some people completely forgot how to fly. Pokryshkin as he said? It is necessary to fly on everything that flies well and on the fact that flying in principle should not be difficult. Here people either do not want to work or are completely unable to fly ... it is not surprising that they are fighting the 21st ...

        Geisenberg The flight hours of the Indian Air Force are one of the largest in the world, up to 200 hours. Not for nothing did they endure amers in training battles. So not at the address.

          I read the statements of the Indian great general from the Air Force on this subject. So, he criticized the MIGs of his MO, he pointed out some features of these aircraft in flight and criticized the Air Force officers for not taking these moments seriously. And he also called MIG 21 flying AK 47. I think the opinion of the pros in this matter says a lot.

        Here is the answer - why do we need modernization. And then, this is how Ukraine has military equipment, both flying and ground (I am silent about the Navy) only on paper, but in reality, 10-20% of the technical staff are in service.

      It’s regrettable to realize, but in the twenty-first century the MiG-21 became a little older ... Although on the other hand, if you really upgrade it, you can get a very magnificent car, even for our times.

          I do not argue, the MiG-21 is an excellent fighter in its time, but now you are very mistaken stop Well, first of all, among the 4th-generation fighters of the 70-80s, he doesn’t have a single strength. Even in comparison with the same F-16s, the MiG-29, the Mirage-2000 - the 21st does not have: an integrated circuit glider (to maneuverability), medium-range missiles and missiles with infrared seeker, long-range radar (at least 50 km), etc., etc. All these shortcomings indicate that, in theory, the MiG-21 link will be destroyed when it encounters a similar link of fighters 4 -th generation. And it's just 4, but I’m completely silent about 4+ and 4 ++. The MiG-21 is hopelessly outdated, like other fighters of the 2nd and 3rd generation No. .

            Good evening, Aslan!
            I agree with you in many ways, but ... In my modern air-to-air rocket, it doesn’t matter which glider to launch from and which generation 4+ or 4 ++ wink The complex found a target, identified and the pilot pressed the coveted button ... Of course, about the maneuverable battle, I am silent, here 21 are really outdated ... BUT and the cannon fight, as in Korea, is it an anachronism right?
            And I do not urge you to make an idol out of MIGA-21! stop Just if there is a possibility to replace outdated equipment with modern equipment and put up-to-date weapons, why shouldn’t he still fly in battle !?
            Well, I'll tell you a secret - I sat in it in '82 and looked at the flights of these planes, "my uncle was a military pilot" and it blew my roof, I also wanted to become a pilot and it was a military ... Yes
            But he studied as a helicopter pilot ... good wink

              I agree, but there are a number of nuances. Because in order to destroy the target, you must first discover it and take a favorable position. The large long-range radar and the required number of other avionics in the small MiG-21 glider cannot be accommodated, which is what the completed one shows (in my opinion ) modernization resource. Well, in general, I think that from the MiG-21 you can make a more or less worthy opponent, but he will no longer pull on equal footing with modern fighters.

              A good idea, but it is more relevant for less developed third countries that do not have money for more modern MiGs. But India may well buy solid weapons, and therefore I do not consider it necessary to continue the 21st MiGs in the Indian Air Force.

    By the way, camarades, the MiG-21 with a modern avionics will not yield to the Fe-sixteenth (the combat load is beyond the brackets). A serious drawback is the car - a narrow nose cone, a large radar antenna does not fit there. So it’s not necessary to write off it urgently, you can still do it (as a training one - that’s it!)

      Misconception negative )
      Firstly, these are fighters of the 2nd and 4th generations, and this already testifies to the "non-compliance of the MiG-21 to the F-16." No: medium-range missiles and missiles with IR seeker, weak and not long-range radar, no integral glider (death in a maneuverable BB), a tiny combat radius, accommodates only 4 missiles (modification of the MiG-21bis), less thrust, less overload. Some disadvantages over the F-16 and not one plus. The MiG-21, along with the F-4 and Mirage-3, one of the best fighters of the 3rd quarter of the 20th century, but its time has long come to an end, so these aircraft are being replaced by others all over the world.
