Did i see that correctly? Were they ground firing the cannon with the plane on jacks? Recoil shook the plane pretty good. You would think you could just pull a breaker or bypass a squat switch to put the plane in "air" mode. Either way, the Mig21 is a good looking old bird, I've always loved the Russian cockpit colors. Great video and thanks for not covering up the jet noise with music.
maybe its comparable to f 100 sabre or f 101 voodoo similar cockpit and first operational radar system to track a enemies aircraft a good speed low armement and a lot of power
Also, unfortunately for the first Russian test pilots of Mikoyen-Gurevich, the Mig-21 (First Production) had the low speed handling comparable to a small third world country, making take-off and landing quite nerve shredding

Mig-21 really is the classic fighter, and certainly an icon of an era. The bis variants still seem to be in vogue in African air forces, so the design has been in active service now for 60 years. Amazing.
@HerrHIVEMIND The MiG-21 and the F-104 were designed with the same strategic thinking in mind. The MiG-21, of course, outclassed the F-104 in every aspect. Upgraded MiG-21's even hold their owns against F-15's.
@HerrHIVEMIND Actually, the aircraft that equaled the flight capabilities and design philosophy of the MiG-21 were the F-8 Crusader and the F-5 Tiger.
@penguinskywalker I figured the SU-17 more comparable to the F-8 but youre right about the F-104 and the MiG-21 as far as speed and climb. I only figured the F-100 because of the manueverability. But the F5 has that covered. Interesting. It takes at least 2 aircraft of the time in the western inventory to compare to such a single, and wonderful, soviet fighter. I love MiG's. :D
vraj platí, že ako lietadlo vyzerá, tak aj lieta. A toto je veľmi pekné lietadlo. 2 roky som ich vídaval a počúval, keď ako hotovostné štartovali s prídavnými raketami a hlavne v noci to bol to zážitok. Teraz by pravda niektorí aktivisti zošaleli aký hluk pri tom bol, ale tie F4 na amerických základniach robili ešte trochu väčší, mali totiž dva motory. Ale 21 je krásna a takou aj zostane.
@specnaz157 well i first heard when our government bought 2 of them from russia, it cost some million US dollars and they were testing their speed, on news it said there could be loud noise turbulance but to stay calm, i heard them twice, it vanishes in the air all you can hear its explosive sound and that its , u cant see it
@idrismetalcore yutub/L-mNaL-hZxk , this was aero meeting in my town, now Croatian AF use them, at 1:19 you can see miG-21 and hear a high speed low pass
Beautiful aircraft for her age, there are two of them rotting away in a hangar next to mine. It's a shame, but there built like tanks so it'll take more than age for her to rot away. Great video.
What a great film,especially the cockpit with the plane powered up,a rare sight indeed! Thanks so much for putting this film about these remarkable aircraft up, it's nice to get such an up close look at something so rare for most people!
@florianska6 I think Our B-52 isn't much newer than the "Bear" so You're not alone. Good designs that fit their function and are adaptable will always be around,especially if the price is good.
@Oldbmwr100rs The B 52 is older than the bear. The bear is awesome in the fact that the soviets didn't have the jet engine technology to get that kind of range back then. So to compensate they made the fastest propeller plane every built! the bear can fly at 582 mph but its range is 2000 less miles than the B 52.
I love this plane, I know I can't own any of them I love it since I was kid, Till now my heart beats faster when I see it in videos & pictures :( I wish I could fly in a mig-21 someday in my life.
You CAN buy these for civilian use, found one up for sale today, only thing your not able to have is the Nuke interface package, all the switches still light up and such, but it will not work. Saw it on "trade a plane" for a phenomenal amount of money.
nice vid. i live in wilmington, de and saw one fly over the other day while working on the river. very rare to see around here haha. almost couldn't believe it.
@MANdroid81 I work at the air port its amazing to hear that plane go. We are in class some weekends and the whole building shakes. Very cool! I think they are going to have another air show in a couple years make sure you come!
@alexsuchapimp They are test-firing the guns. Mig-21s are armed with a 23mm cannon in addition to their missile armament. Those explosive sounds are from the gun firing.

@HerrHIVEMIND Couldn't fly until FAA-modded all instruments from metric, (they wouldn't give us N-numbers) drop-tanks welded on forever subsonic, and it only cost $80,000.US. Seat was left live as a lifesaving device, but sweat poured down our faces as we removed the rocket-charge with the help of a Polish and Russian interpreter. Net result = chained-down full-throttle only.no-flight, fun engine noise and airshow trophy. Better to have a Cessna 206.
A truly remarkable piece of engineering. I wouldn't ever want to use the gun though, not enough ammo to even fire it for one full seccond. De-rate the rate of fire and it'd be awesome.

NOTHING like a rubber-facecup Phazotron radar! But W/O those drop tanks, you BETTER BE ON FINAL 40 minutes after takeoff! A FRIEND BOUGHT ONE FOR just $80G - from Poland! 700 hrs on the airframe, just 70 on the engine! We pulled that HUGE old radar and balanced it back with batteries- no start-cart necessary! GREAT design! Only a few sizes of screws & bolts, phat tires for grass fields, AND EVERYTHING IMPORTANT RAN DOWN THAT 'SPINE". State Dept. stole our 23-mm cannon & left the seat ARMED!
@rowekmr Couldn't fly until FAA-modded all instruments from metric, (they wouldn't give us N-numbers) drop-tanks welded on forever subsonic, and it only cost $80,000.US. Seat was left live as a lifesaving device, but sweat poured down our faces as we removed the rocket-charge with the help of a Polish and Russian interpreter. Net result= chained-down full-throttle only. and fun noise and airshow trophy. Better to have a Cessna 206.
@Crashman2 Thanks for the reply sorry to hear about the red tape and restrictions. I hope your friend still enjoys flying it though, I would hate to think a Cessna 206 would be better for blasting through the sky!
@TheCrazyFinn They sure did, and threw in a belt of 23mm ammo too. The US Gov't took it away on import, as violating some Arms Control law. In THIS video, I see the weapons systems powered up for the first time. GREAT!
But the FAA left it to US to figure out how to safe the ejection seat. We had to call in an expert who could read both Polish and Russian.
@stefaan10111992 Guess! Hint: it's ALWAYS slung under a hardpoint- or you're flying THRU the particles! But the '21 is/was rarely used other than as a point--defense interceptor, in which role it is still is OUTSTANDING! .
In Canada students learn about an interceptor aircraft made in Canada called the Avro Arrow which was supposedly "light-years ahead of its time" but got scrapped during prototype phase. I stood up in class and said "the Mig-21 was by far the best aircraft of the era, let alone century, so stop with this Canada-producing-good-weapons bullshit". I was sent home for 3 days but it was worth it!
We tend to laugh at the MiG-21, but it was built as a cheap, high speed, all weather interceptor. Just because something is cheap doesn't mean it sucks as we learned in Vietnam. Remember that while the Raptor and Typhoon outclass the Fishbed, those fighters are still pretty rare.
A man I have the privaledge of knowing, shot one of these down in 1970 during 'Nam with his F4j ending a 2 year period when the US navy had no confirmed kills. He was also the first graduate from the Top Gun school.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I've always loved the look of the Mig-21 -- full of no-nonsense, almost feral aggression... Nice to see the cannon tests as well! Great video.
I've read about US F-14 pilots who flew with Croation MIG-21s during eastern european exercises, the American pilots respected the 21s from what they saw. The Croations, along with the Czech, keep their MIG 21s in impeccable condition.
great video thank you for posting. an amazing aircraft.

Perhaps the best Mig 21 video ever. Great filmmaking. Love the intro with the instruments
and radar functions. Great plane. Thanks for posting!

if use Longer RANGE Missile. The Novator K-100 is a Russian air-to-air missile designed as an "AWACS killer" at ranges up to 300–400 km (160-210 mi)

NOTHING like a rubber-facecup Phazotron radar! But W/O those drop tanks, you BETTER BE ON FINAL 40 minutes after takeoff! A FRIEND BOUGHT ONE FOR just $80G - from Poland! 700 hrs on the airframe, just 70 on the engine! We pulled that HUGE old radar and balanced it back with batteries- no start-cart necessary! GREAT design! Only a few sizes of screws & bolts, phat tires for grass fields, AND EVERYTHING IMPORTANT RAN DOWN THAT 'SPINE". State Dept. stole our 23-mm cannon & left the seat ARMED!

@Crashman2 The only thing better than flying fast aircraft is owning them :-) How is maintenance on your friends plane and how fast has he gone?

@rowekmr Couldn't fly until FAA-modded all instruments from metric, (they wouldn't give us N-numbers) drop-tanks welded on forever subsonic, and it only cost $80,000.US. Seat was left live as a lifesaving device, but sweat poured down our faces as we removed the rocket-charge with the help of a Polish and Russian interpreter. Net result= chained-down full-throttle only. and fun noise and airshow trophy. Better to have a Cessna 206.

@Crashman2 Thanks for the reply sorry to hear about the red tape and restrictions. I hope your friend still enjoys flying it though, I would hate to think a Cessna 206 would be better for blasting through the sky!

@Crashman2 The Polish actually sold it to you WITH the cannon? =O

@TheCrazyFinn They sure did, and threw in a belt of 23mm ammo too. The US Gov't took it away on import, as violating some Arms Control law. In THIS video, I see the weapons systems powered up for the first time. GREAT!
But the FAA left it to US to figure out how to safe the ejection seat. We had to call in an expert who could read both Polish and Russian.

@stefaan10111992 Guess! Hint: it's ALWAYS slung under a hardpoint- or you're flying THRU the particles! But the '21 is/was rarely used other than as a point--defense interceptor, in which role it is still is OUTSTANDING! .

I like mig 21s Me262s, F4 and F-14. Those are all cool looking planes. Especially if painted well. God old miltary harware kicks ass.

In Canada students learn about an interceptor aircraft made in Canada called the Avro Arrow which was supposedly "light-years ahead of its time" but got scrapped during prototype phase. I stood up in class and said "the Mig-21 was by far the best aircraft of the era, let alone century, so stop with this Canada-producing-good-weapons bullshit". I was sent home for 3 days but it was worth it!

The best fighter of its era!

We tend to laugh at the MiG-21, but it was built as a cheap, high speed, all weather interceptor. Just because something is cheap doesn't mean it sucks as we learned in Vietnam. Remember that while the Raptor and Typhoon outclass the Fishbed, those fighters are still pretty rare.

what's the purpose for putting a look a like arrow at the head of the plane near the pilot?

A man I have the privaledge of knowing, shot one of these down in 1970 during 'Nam with his F4j ending a 2 year period when the US navy had no confirmed kills. He was also the first graduate from the Top Gun school.
The man? J.E. Beaulier VF-142 the Ghost Riders.

I've read about US F-14 pilots who flew with Croation MIG-21s during eastern european exercises, the American pilots respected the 21s from what they saw. The Croations, along with the Czech, keep their MIG 21s in impeccable condition.
