Photo Comment

Built in a Moscow factory, delivered November 1966 to the Czechoslovak Air Force and served until late August 1990. Last unit was the 11.slp (stíhací letecký pluk, fighter air regiment) at Žatec; the coat of arms of Žatec town is still on the nose. Preserved in Kostelní Střímělice and Kbely in Czechia, then Lommer in Belgium where it was knocked off its pedestal by a truck at some point. Survived everything and preserved here since 2019.
