The series of MiG-21 fighter aircraft, which served for more than 60 years in the Indian Air Force, will retire in September this year. The history of this aircraft of Soviet origin, who played an important role in Kargil to Balakot AISRIRARI has been quite complicated. Despite playing an important role in different conflicts, this fighter jet was once called a flying coffin due to the continuous older hardware. Despite this, the Indian Air Force avoided retiring MiG-21 for a long time due to a decrease in the purchase of foreign fighter aircraft and delay in the construction of India’s indigenous fighter Jet-Tejas MK-1.
