Produktinformationen "MiG-21"
The MiG-21 was never meant to become immortal, yet it has outlasted the empire that built it. Conceived in the tense atmosphere of the 1950s jet age, the supersonic "Fishbed" became the backbone of the Soviet Air Force and one of the most widely produced fighters in history. From the skies over Vietnam and the deserts of the Middle East to the mountains of South Asia and the battlefields of Africa, it proved both a weapon of war and a tool of politics. With over 11,000 built and service spanning more than sixty nations, the MiG-21 shaped doctrine, strategy, and the lives of generations of pilots. This definitive narrative traces the fighter's arc from prototype to museum piece, exploring its design simplicity, adaptability, and the economic and political forces that gave it an unrivaled legacy. More than a story of an airplane, this is the story of how a modest delta-wing jet became the "people's fighter" that refused to retire.
