About This File
The production of the MiG-21s in India under license by Hindustan Aeronautics in Nasik started
with the MiG-21FL in 1966 in four phases starting with the assembly of CKD kits, moving on to
subassemblies, parts, and finally advancing to production from scratch.
205 MiG-21FLs, designated Type 77 and nicknamed Trishul ("Trident), were built in India between
1966 and 1972; the first one built entirely from Indian-made components was delivered to the IAF
on 19 October 1970, with the first Indian-made R11F2S-300 powerplant leaving the assembly line
on 2 January 1969.
In the late 1970s, the IAF began acquiring MiG-21M/MFs, consequently a large part of the MiG-21FL
fleet were sent into storage.
However in the mid-1980s, these FLs were pulled out of storage and retrofitted with two extra
pylons and were fitted with IFF-400 antennas(on the nose).
