The production version of the E-7M prototype. Modernization of the MiG-21PF fighter with the improved RP-21M radar, the SRZO-2 "Khrom-Nikkel" interrogator-responder (IFF) and many other changes in avionics. The latest series of the MiG-21PFM reintroduced cannon armament by adding a gondola with a 23mm GSh-23 cannon on the central pylon with 200 rounds.

This aircraft is number 5411 of the Air Force of the Czech Republic.

The MiG-21PFM was built in the former Soviet Union and first flew on March 23, 1967. It served with the Czech 11th Fighter Wing based at Žatec, Czechoslovakia. What was to be its last flight occurred in March 1991 to the Aero Vodchody overhaul facility; the breakup of the Soviet Union later that year resulted in its permanent grounding. The MiG accumulated 1,933 flight hours and 3,029 flight cycles during its career.

    @Tang0five in fact I made my account about four or five months after starting in the game, I did not have a previous account and I learned most of other planes, wings, fuselages, landing gears and also the Overload, which I learned to modify the input by the Fc-912 (google traductor)

    There’s a lot of positives here for someone that only started this game 5 months ago! (I take it you’ve nit had another account or anything? :) ) what can I say custom wings and LG (with ahem FT doors). Yes there are a few things that vandalise themselves pulling manoeuvres (probably parts collisions not disabled) but this is quite good from someone who is bronze! Bravo!
