Since fighter jets entered the world of modern warfare for the first time in the 1940s, more than hundreds of types of fighters have been built and almost all of them have been obsolete and replaced by newer generations after a short period of time. However, a handful of these war machines have been able to stand the test of time and even have a much longer life than their later generations, and the Soviet MiG-21 is definitely one of them. The pilots of the American bombers in the sky were amazed by its strange speed and agility and nicknamed it the Blue Bandit. It was so fast that even the most elite American pilots had no chance to escape from it in the Vietnam War. MiGs of the North Vietnamese army, while equipped with new missiles, were able to overturn dozens of the most advanced American fighters of that time, the F4 Phantom, in the Rolling Thunder operation. In the end, this interceptor jet became the best fighter of the Eastern Bloc and was able to obtain the record of the largest number of produced fighter jets in history by a long distance. The numerous battles of the MiG-21 and F4 in the most sensitive wars in the world after the Second World War became the most ups and downs story of air wars, and the competition between these two legendary fighters completely changed the development path of the next fighters in the world. . In addition to the Israeli-Arab wars, the Iran-Iraq eight-year war was also one of the biggest arenas of competition between Iraqi MiG-21s and Iranian Phantoms. In this video, we will tell you the story of the most prolific fighter in history.
