Mig 21 Lancer
This is a tribute to Mig 21 Lancer and Romania Airforce (RoAF) and also for the pilots.
MiG-21 was designed as a clear-weather interceptor and the prototype flew for the first time in 1957. The aircraft entered mass production in 1958 powered by a Tumanski R-11 turbojet, but reached its definitive form in the following year with the MiG-21F, with an engine uprated to 56.39 kN. This paved the way for the MiG-21PF of 1960, with the uprated R-11F engine and an enlarged inlet to allow the incorporation of R-1L radar in the centrebody, the MiG-21PFS, with blown flaps and a ventral pod carrying a 23mm GSh-23L two-barrel cannon, and the MiG-21PFM, incorporating all the sequential improvements of earlier models. The second generation MiG-21MF featured additional fuel, RP-21
The aircraft is equipped with a KM-1M ejection seat, that provides escape capability for the pilot at 0 m altitude and a minimum sped of 130 km/h.
Upgraded version for the Romanian Air Force done by Elbit of Israel and Aerostar SA of Romania. The LanceR-A version is optimized for ground attack being able to deliver precision guided munitions of eastern and western origin as well as R-60, R-73 and Python III air to air missiles. The LanceR-B version is the trainer version and the LanceR-C version is the air superiority version featuring 2 LCD MFDs, helmet mounted sight and the Elta EL/M-2032 Air combat radar.
Beginning in 1993, Russia did not offer spare parts for the MiG-23 and MiG-29 for the Romanian Air Force. Initially, this was the context for the modernization of the Romanian MiG-21's with Elbit systems, and because it was easier for the Romanians to maintain these fighter jets. 110 MiG-21's were modernized under the LanceR designation. Today, only 48 LanceRs are operational for the RoAF. It can use both Western and Eastern armament such as the R-60M, R-73, Magic 2, or Python III missiles. They will be replaced in 2012 when new fighter jets will arrive, such as the F-16, F/A-18, Eurofighter Typhoon or Gripen.
