Its said, that it is a MiG-21S. It has the long backtank behind the cockpit like the S.

 

BUT: Pivottube is direct above airintake. The S had it moved to the right side. And there are only 2 hardpoints, the S had had 4.

 

Any idea?

I saw in Yefim Gordon's book on MiG-21, page 134, a picture of MiG-21R, bord number 22, looking just like this one, with text that it was in a fighter configuration with inner pylons and wingtips ecm pods removed. If you look at other MiG-21s with just 2 pylons (F, PF, PFM), you will see these are near the middle of the wing, very close to the landing gears, while on your picture the pylons are in the outer half of the wing span, just where the outer pylons on post MiG-21M variants are.

Hope that helps.

Probably a mig-21pfm , the background of leftside planes is hard to tell but the one on the backside right might be the same or it might be a plane that has 5 hardpoints or three. I hope my guess is correct gameshow host.
