An overcast day casts its light on each rivet of this MiG-21BN on display at the superlative Punjab State War Heroes' Memorial & Museum at Amritsar. The BN export variant of which 624 were built as izdeliye 32-24B or 24B was downgraded in avionics, thus less capable than domestic Soviet versions. The Flogger-H was inducted in No. 10 Sqn "Winged Daggers," flown from Jan 1981 to Dec 1993. Other IAF units to fly the type were No. 220 Sqn "Desert Tigers," 31 Sqn "Lions" and 221 Sqn "Valiants", the latter unit being which this aircraft served with.
