Photo Comment

110 aircraft were selected for an upgrade program initially called MiG-21-2000, which began in 1993, performed by the Romanian Aerostar SA and Israeli Elbit System Ltd. Finally known as the MiG-21 LanceR (R for Romania), the program enhanced the operational capabilities by a new cockpit and avionics. This aircraft was a MiG-21MF-75 and was W/O on 1994-10-14 with Grupul 91. Thanks to Daniele Mattiuzzo for c/n and detailed information
