- Ancapistani 5y agoYou're probably aware, but others might not be - while the MiG-21 is an _ancient_ design by military standards, it's more of a "chassis" than a "design". The MiG-21 was introduced in 1955, manufactured until 1985, and upgrades and modifications are still being done. The first MiG-21 that came off the assembly line isn't really comparable to the variants being flown by Romania today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-21_variants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-2...
