251 aircraft of this very famous Soviet jet fighter alone were operated by the air arm of the East German National People’s Army. The first improved MiG-21MF variant aircraft reached the 9th Fighter Wing in Penemünde, located close to the Baltic Sea, starting in 1973. Designed as a successor to the Soviet Union's family of early MiG jet fighters, the MiG-21 was first flown on February 14, 1955. This supersonic jet fighter was the first Soviet aircraft to successfully combine fighter and interceptor characteristics. Its delta wing design gave it the ability to climb quickly and its light loading further improved its performance, making it possible for a skilled pilot to successfully engage in dogfights with contemporary enemy fighters. Today, more than 50 years after its introduction, the MiG-21 still serves the air forces of many nations and has become the most-produced supersonic jet in history. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
