    1. MiG-21R (NATO "Fishbed-H")
      Single-seat tactical reconnaissance version of the MiG-21PFM.
       
      Developed after the Korean War, the MiG-21 very much mirrored the contemporary U.S. designed F-104. It was a lightweight, point defense interceptor that went on to perform a multi-role mission. It still remains in service in both its original build and in remanufactured versions. While not without its faults including poor armament and visibility, limited avionics, and short endurance, it also had many good features. Its small size made it very hard to see in combat, and while it has a high airspeed bleed off in a maneuvering fight, it retains the capability to point its nose at very low airspeeds. At least as important as those virtues, it was easily maintainable; an important factor for the many third world nations that flew it. While used primarily in the air defense role, they have also served in ground attack and reconnaissance missions. It was this last type of aircraft that I decided to model. The MiG-21R carried a centerline pod mounting cameras or Elint equipment and which replaced the 23mm cannon. While carrying this pod it was still able to retain a self defense capability of AA-2 "Atolls" and carry the vital, and ever present, external fuel tanks. Reference sources indicate that at least some MiG-21R's also carried wingtip mounted ECM pods, and Soviet no-export versions even have internal stronger ECM's.
       
       
       
       
       
      This mod represent Soviet version of MiG-21R without ECM wing pods.(you have internal one's both passive and active - hit "Z" on keyboard to engage).

    4. A mod of FoxMonter's MB-326 GB, to create the SAAF's two air-air combat- killer of the '70s and '80s "Bushwars", the Aeromacchi Impala II "preproduction" aircraft.
       
      In total, the Impala II was credited with at least six air-air kills (ACIG).
       
      This is a complete package, which comes with one SAAF skin, Squadron No. 4 of the two-aircraft killer Capt. W. Westoby, two internal 30mm DEFA cannons, updated aircraft data file and a modified cockpit. Two Angolan kill markings grace the fuselage side.
       
      Mod by Richard "Pitts2A" Ordway, uploaded with the permission of FoxMonter, USAFMTL and many others. For SFP1/WOV/WOE.
       
      See the instructions file for install.
       
      Complete credits and history in readme.

    5. MiG-21S (NATO "Fishbed-J")
      Single-seat interceptor fighter version, equipped with an RP-22 radar and an optional external gun pod. (Incorrectly identified by NATO as the MiG-21PFMA); E-8, Type 88 Indian Air Force designation.
       
      This was the first "third generation of MiG-21 Fishbeds".
      Since the MiG-21R retained complete combat capability even if it wasn't actually used in practice, it was an obvious next step to produce a new fighter variant based on its updated airframe. After evaluation with prototypes designated "Ye-7S", the updated fighter was put into production at Gorkiy in 1965 as the "MiG-21S", or "I-95" as the Mikoyan OKB referred to it. It remained in production until 1968.
       
      Aside from the new airframe, the MiG-21S featured some new kit, including a more powerful RP-22 Sapfir (NATO codename Jay Bird) radar with range at least doubled; an ASP-PF gunsight for the optional GSh-23 centerline cannon pod; and a link for the Lazur-M ground-control system. It could carry a range of heat-seeking or radar-guided AAMs, as well as rockets or bombs. Early on, the MiG-21S was qualified for carriage of a tactical nuclear weapon on the centerline pylon. The AOA sensor, the offset pitot tube, and the periscope was added in later production.This was the first version with four wing pylons.
       
      Although the MiG-21R and MiG-21S incorporated many improvements, the weight increase meant that ceiling and climb rate had suffered. Worse, the hoped-for range increase with the increased fuel capacity didn't materialize, mostly due to fuel trim problems that made the expanded fuel capacity something of a fiction. Obviously the design needed some more rethinking, but that was going to take time and effort.
       
      In the meantime, incremental improvements would have to do. An export version of the MiG-21S, the "MiG-21M" or "I-96", was built at the Znamya Trudaya factory from 1968 into 1971. It retained the older RP-21M radar, but featured a GSh-23L twin-barreled cannon in a flush belly installation, replacing the centerline GSh-23 cannon pod introduced on the MiG-21PFM. The flush cannon pallet carried a store of 200 rounds of ammunition and could be neatly winched out of the fuselage for servicing. The new cannon scheme not only reduced drag but permitted carriage of a fuel tank or other store on the centerline pylon. A steel blast panel was installed on the belly of the aircraft forward of the cannon muzzles. HAL of India license-built the MiG-21M, with initial production delivered in 1973.
       
      This mod represent Soviet version MiG-21S with deleted cannon and IRM AA capability only, radar guided missles was only tested on "S" and fully implemented on MiG-21SM (none of "S" were exported).It differs from SM/MF engine wise too - it had weaker "R" type engine. Nevertheless it was large step forward compared to PFM.
       
       
      Installation
      ============
      1. Copy the "MiG-21S" folder to your Strike Fighters\Objects\Aircraft folder.
       
      2. The Sound files goes in your Strike Fighters\Sounds folder.

      This mod is not optimalised for begeeners in SFP1 series world. You need some skill with modding to finish this edit successfully.
       
      Centerline pylon is designated for Mig-21PFM with removable GP-9 gunpod and workable/"dropable" drop tank
       
      Removable Mig-21PFM gunpod idea by Crab 02 and madcaddie.
       
       
      You can get two Mig-21PFM versions if you will follow notes in the Readme! file:
       
      1) Mig-21PFM with removable GP-9 gunpod (you can load GP-9 or Mig-21 drop tank - East German designation Mig-21SPS-K)
       
      2) Mig-21PFM without GP-9 gunpod. You can load drop tank only (East German designation Mig-21SPS)
       
      No LODs, skins, or screenies uncluded in this pack. Just Mig-21 pylon and notes how make vorkable stations on two "new" Mig-21PFM vesions.
       
      Tested in WOE.
       
      Credits:
      Crab 02 and madcaddie - removable GP-9 gun pod idea
      Vrkuboy - first pylon version
      Amokfloo - final pylon version
      Kukulo - pylon weaponstation and loadout.ini edits, a little bit reworked Amokfloos pylon skin
