---

IAF Mig -21MF 7° Sq. “Battle Axes”

 

 

The IAF called Mig-21M or Type 88 a model virtually identical to Mig-21MF, that was produced at HAL (158 planes were built).

 

It served from 1973 in these squadrons:

 

7° Sq. “Battle Axes” at Gwalior;

9° Sq. “Wolfpack” at Hindon, Haryana;

17° Sq. “Golden Arrow” at Bhatinda, Punjab;

35 °Sq. “Rapiers” at Bakshi Ka Talab, Uttar Pradesh;

37° Sq. “Black Panthers”;

51° Sq. “Sword Arms” at Jamnagar;

52° Sq. “Sharks”;

72° Sq. ;

101° Sq. “Falcons” at Sirsa Haryana;

108° Sq. “Hawkeyes” at Bakshi Ka Talab.

 

 

Known serial numbers and Battle Axes Squadron Badges are icluded.

I took this camouflage from Americo Maia’s works.

 

If you have some good picture schemes of other squadrons, please send to me, and I’ll try to skin.

To install:

This skin is for SFP2. So simply put the files included in this pack in SFP2 folder.

For SFP1/WoX install, you have to change decals settings, but it should works.

Airframe is identical but all systems are "low" compared to "real" MF- avionics and weak engine etc. etc. etc.

 

Cheers

Happy to meet you.

 

Well, this really true for the Mig-21Ms from Soviet factory, that Indians called "Mig-21MFs". The Russian's "Migs for the monkeys" (socialism was an only utopia...) whith older engines and avionics.

 

But the HAL Bangalore build their "Mig-21M", that Indians in fact simply called "Mig-21M", or type 88, that had the "more powerful R13-300 engine, better RP-22 radar, periscope on the canopy and baffle plates below the auxiliary inlet doors" and "was virtually identical to the Mig-21MF (izdeliye 96F) and was of a superior specification to the Mig-21M (izdeliye 96) "

 

The words are not mine, they come from Yefim Gordon's Mig-21 bible (pag. 593). I'm a Mig lover ...

 

So we can say that IAF Mig-21MF were Mig-21M and IAF Mig-21M were Mig-21MF

There was a little confusion beyond the iron curtain ....

 

I'm testing a "downgraded" "real" Mig-21M with LSK, PWL,YUGO and IAF skins and numbers already done.

I only couldn't delete periscope from inside the canopy.

Someone could help me?

 

Thank you all for your interest.
