Historical Overview

The MiG-21-MFN Fishbed is an upgraded version of the iconic interceptor fighter designed by the Soviet Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau. The MFN version was created for the Czech Air Force through the modernization of older MiG-21MF airframes to NATO standards, enabling their integration with Western weaponry and communication systems. These aircraft formed the backbone of the Czech military aviation in the 1990s and were used, among others, for training, patrol missions, and international exercises until their retirement in 2005.
