Type 96(MiG-21M) No. 35 Sqdn "Rapiers" skin


This paint scheme depicts a 35 sqdn MiG-21M(IAF Type 96) . This skin is for howling1's Type 96 MiG-21.

**you have to copy texture files from the 101sq folder.**

 

copy the following from the 101 sq folder within Type 96 folder.

 

Mig-21MF_Body.bmp

Mig-21MF_LeftWing.bmp

Mig-21MF_Nose.bmp

Mig-21MF_RightWing.bmp

 

**Warning: Do not copy MiG-21MF_Tail.bmp from 101 sq folder**

 

from the 101 sq folder within Type 96 folder.

 

I did not include the texture files because 35 Sqdn's MiG-21Ms were painted in the same scheme as that of the 101 sqdn's MiG-21Ms.

No. 35 Sqdn "Rapiers"

-----------------------------------

In 1977 the squadron was specially selected to convert to the Electronic Warfare (EW) role. Re-equipped with modified Canberra B(I) 58s and MiG-21Ms, the squadron moved to Bareilly AFS in 1978. In 1997, the squadron's Canberras were withdrawn and 'B' flight re-equipped with EW-equipped MiG-21Ms. Since the 1980s, No.35 Squadron has played an important role in collaborating with DRDO in the evaluation of EW systems and armaments. The unit also fills and important training role. In addition to providing support to offensive air operations, the 'Rapiers' play a crucial role in providing flying effort towards EW related training for the IAF's own air defense units.
