MiG-21i "Strela" (Combat Variant)

NATO Codename: "Flick"

ehehe


A reimagined version of the MiG-21i testbed, the "Strela" was developed as a lightweight, short-range interceptor. Swapping analog test gear for combat avionics and a basic radar, it could carry R-3S or R-60 missiles and was optimized for high-speed interception and dogfighting. Its delta wing gave it excellent agility and acceleration.

Though limited in payload and range, the Strela was cheap, fast, and easy to maintain, ideal for frontline air defense in the Eastern Bloc. Only 58 units were built, but its mix of SST-inspired design and MiG-21 performance earned it a special place in experimental squadrons and export customers.


ehehe


Stuff and stuffs:
• activate 1 for afterburner for extra thrust.
• cockpit view had head bobbing, roll and pitch using shocks.


That's about it, do not pull too hard at high speed, the pilot can't black out but still ;)
