Russia, which buried the MiG-21 in 1985, has asked for 3 aircraft for demonstrations of vintage flying. India, which still uses it, has agreed to the gift.
Dice have been found dating to the Bronze Age in various Harappan sites in present-day northwest India and throughout Pakistan. And it’s very possible that some had female owners.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Agree! This gift is rather like hauling coal to Newcastle. But seriously, it does point to the parlous state of the armed forces in India. They lack the means and modern weaponry to foigt tomorrow’s wars. The leadership from the MoD and the politicians when it comes to acquisition of up-to-date weaponry is a scandal.
No doubt that it is a flying coffin. We lost so many young officers.It hurts!

The flying coffin….may be..but it has saved many from going into coffins….
The MiG-21 might have been a great fighter in its day. Now, it has outlived its usefulness.
