米格-21戰鬥機（俄語：Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-21）是蘇聯米高揚·格列維奇設計局於1950年代初期研製的一種單座單發輕型超音速的第二代戰鬥機。北約代號為魚床／魚窩（Fishbed）。蘇聯飛行員給它的外號是「三角琴」、波蘭人則稱它為「鉛筆」。米格-21（包含仿製、改良型）可能是至今產量最多的超音速飛機，越南戰爭是它最廣為人知的戰場，曾與美國人的F-4戰機一較高下；在中東地區跟以色列也是頻頻交手，其他如南北葉門戰爭、印巴戰爭也看得到米格-21的蹤影。至今仍然有不少米格-21活躍在世界上，並有許多現代化升級套裝，若加強雷達搜索和掛載新型長程飛彈後仍能一戰，故被戲稱是戰機界的AK-47。 The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-21; NATO reporting name: Fishbed) is a supersonic jet fighter and interceptor aircraft, designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Its nicknames include: "balalaika", because its planform resembles the stringed musical instrument of the same name; "Ołówek", Polish for "pencil", due to the shape of its fuselage, and "Én Bạc", meaning "silver swallow", in Vietnamese.Approximately 60 countries across four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations six decades after its maiden flight. It made aviation records, becoming the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history, the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War and, previously, the longest production run of any combat aircraft (now exceeded by both the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle and General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon).
The MiG-21 fighter
is
a
single-seat single-engine light supersonic
second-generation fighter developed by the Soviet Mikoyan Greevich Design Bureau in the early 1950s. The
NATO codename is Fishbed,
the nickname given to it by Soviet pilots. It's a "grand piano"
Poles call it a "pencil" The
MiG-21
contains both imitations and modifications
Probably the most produced supersonic aircraft to date The
Vietnam War is its most well-known battleground. It
has been one of the American F-4 fighters.
In the Middle East, it is also frequently fought with Israel.
Others such as the North-South Yemen War, the
India-Pakistan War can also see the traces of the MiG-21.
There are still many MiG-21s active in the world
and there are many modern upgrade kits.
After the radar searches and mounts
new long-range missiles, it can still
be jokingly called the AK-47 in the fighter world.
For example, many countries such as the Soviet Union and Israel are interested in the
huge production volume
of the MiG-21.
Performance enhancement plan
The aircraft began to design in 1953,
and the prototype was tested in 1955.
On June 24, 1956, when it participated in the Soviet Aviation Festival, the air show at
Moscow's Tushino Airport was
officially unveiled to the public.
In 1958, it began to be equipped with the Soviet
Army during the India-Pakistan War.
The MiG-21 purchased by the Soviet Union
once fought against the US-made F-104 in Pakistan.
In 1971, the Indian MiG-21
successfully shot down four Pakistani F-104s,
causing a great shock to the F-104 users in Western Europe and the Far East.
Since then
East Germany Iraq, North Korea, Egypt,
Syria are also equipped with MiG-21,
which makes the F-104 or F-5 equipped with West Germany, Japan, South Korea, Iran and
Israel
feel a stab
at the MiG-21. During the Vietnam War, the MiG-21 of the Viet Cong was also
showing off in the sky of Vietnam.
The victory in many close air battles with the U.S. F-4
prompted the U.S. military to improve the F-4
and add a cannon
Capability
In the Vietnamese Air Force,
although 13 aces are in MiG-21 and
four are in MiG-17,
the Vietnamese reported preferring the latter
because of the relatively more flexible
cockpit and better visibility
later because of the MiG-21's The excellent record
caused a high degree of shock to Western military observers, and
prompted the United States to use the MiG-21 as an imaginary enemy to
start the development of the F-16.
Until 2018, the
MiG-21 and its derivatives
were still in service in at least 15 countries around the world,
including Cuba and Croatia.
Romania, India, etc.
