HISTORY
*************************************
In 1993 the MiG-21-93 made its debut on various airshows, for instance in Le Bourget and Berlin. It was a major update for the MiG-21bis which incorporated a modern radar, a modern data link system and modern ECM capability.
The MiG-21-93 had a dramatically increased combat capabilities. It now can engage air targets at medium range and can use precison guided weapons against ground and sea targets.
India updated its MiG-21bis fleet to the 21-93 standard and called this bird now MiG-21Bison. The bison showed its combat efficiency in various training combats including against american F-15's.

While making the Bison i used a lot of files made by other modders. Thanks for this files!
The plane itself:
~~~~~~~~~~
Model by TK
The Cockpit is taken from Mirage Factories MiG-29A
~~~~~~~~~
Cockpit by Mago
The added objects.
~~~~~~~~~
I took the MiG-23 drop tank to create the longer MiG-21bis style back of the bird. Then i used CIACHOs AKU-58 file to create the chaff flare dispensers
And finally my little share
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I edited the Data file to implement the guided missiles, added the ECM and Chaffs etc. And i modified the original Skin to create a fictional East German Bison, the russian and the Indian version.
I know that the Indian Bisons are more grey than the light blue, but due the Fake pilot methode i used to place the added objects i had to decide which color this objects should have and so i decided to use a light blue instead the grey.
I hope that i havent forgotten someone to give the proper credit.
