Historical significance of the MiG-21F-13

The MiG-21F-13 was the first variant of the MiG-21 family to be equipped with radar, produced from the early 1960s. This aircraft played a key role in the air forces of Warsaw Pact countries and participated in the Vietnam War as well as numerous Middle Eastern conflicts. It became a symbol of Soviet jet aviation of that era.
