MiG-21bis Fishbed

The MiG-21 Fishbed is one of the most famous fighter aircraft in history, with about 11,496 produced and 3,000 still in operation in over 40 countries. The MiG-21 is a high-speed interceptor reaching speeds up to Mach 2, built to be cheap and reliable, it has seen reproduction in over 22 separate variants, and is in heavy use throughout the Middle East, Eastern Europe, China as the Chengdu J-7, and Africa.

Description
In comparison with other fighters of its class and age, it is quite maneuverable, as proven during dogfights with the heavier but more technologically advanced F-4 Phantom II's over Vietnam during the 1960's and 1970's. In recent years it has been refitted to serve as a multirole strike fighter, receiving avionics upgrades, weapons enhancements, and state-of-the-art engines. An internal dual barreled Gsh-23L gun has been made standard on all later variants of the fighter and many have been outfitted to fire advanced air-to-air missiles from BVR such as the R-77 Adder medium-range air-to-air missile.
