During the Cold War, Hungary, as a member of the Warsaw Pact, was equipped with Soviet-made MiG-21 and Su-22, but after joining NATO, they were basically eliminated and replaced with Swedish Gripen fighters.
Specifically, the Hungarian Air Force used to have 60-70 MiG-21 series fighters. But by 2001, all of these were retired.
Some of the MiG-21s were sent to museums and schools, some were used for commercial purposes, and most were placed in remote areas.
uses drones to see MiG-21 and Su-22. Their appearance and size are clear at a glance. There are about 29 MiG-21 and 5 Su-22 here.
MiG-21 adopts a single-seater delta wing aerodynamic layout, with flexible maneuverability and good maneuverability, and is mainly used for interception and other air combat tasks.
MiG-21 is the most successful design of the Mikoyan Design Bureau and one of the most popular fighters in the world, with more than 10,000 aircraft produced.
MiG-21 has been used in more than 50 countries, but its 60s make it no longer suitable for modern warfare, and many countries have begun to eliminate it.
And in the next 5-10 years, there are 19 other countries using MiG-21 fighters that will have to say goodbye to this legendary aircraft.
MiG-21 has a maximum flight speed of 2237 km/h, a maximum range of 1210 km, and a climb speed of 225m/s. Although
has been retired for almost 20 years, I came closer to see that these MiG-21s of the Hungarian Air Force are still well maintained. It is estimated that some people often come to maintain it.
