Lore

Introduced in the 1950s, this iconic aircraft faced challenges over the years, prompting a comprehensive upgrade program in the late 1990s. The Indian Air Force's Mig-21UPG Bison epitomizes adaptability and resilience in the realm of military aviation. The Mig-21UPG Bison received modern avionics, radar systems, and weaponry like the R-73 and R-77 missiles, extending its service life and enhancing its combat capabilities. This transformation underscores the dedication of IAF personnel and the aircraft's enduring legacy as a symbol of India's commitment to safeguarding its skies, proving that even aging platforms can rise to meet contemporary challenges in aerial warfare.
