MiG-21
was first displayed in public at Tushino on June 24, 1956. The
design was as a result of
evaluations in USSR after the Korean War and the need to
provide a short-range interceptor.
More
than 11.000 examples of the MiG-21 were produced in 20
different versions, and the type was at one time the most
widely-used Soviet combat aircraft. The first operational
model built in greater numbers was the MiG-21F. It was a
short-range day fighter without a radar.
The stored MiG 21 is owned by the Armed Forces
Museum.
