The MiG-21 has a delta wing with a 57° sweep angle on the leading edge. The aircraft's thin delta wing and "tailed delta" configuration give it high speed, maneuverability, and good medium-altitude performance.
The MiG-21 has a maximum speed of 1,385 mph (Mach 2.05), a service ceiling of 62,335 ft, and a rate of climb of 46,250 ft/min.
The MiG-21 can carry air-to-air missiles, rocket pods, or bombs.
The MiG-21 first flew in 1955 and entered service in 1960. The Soviet Union built more than 10,000 MiG-21s before ending production in 1985. More than 6,000 MiG-21s were flown by over three dozen nations.
The MiG-21 is nicknamed "Fishbed" by Western forces, and "Balalaika" by some due to its resemblance to the Russian stringed instrument.
Some variants of the MiG-21 include the MiG-21PF, which can carry air-to-air missiles but no guns.
