Croatian air force MiG-21 replacement
Stipe replied to Stipe's topic in Military and General Aviation
Here I have a bit of a coincidence, I build model kits and I have made a FICTIONAL "MiG-21BisD+" (fictional modernization of the MiG-21BisD). So if they are going to fly into the 21st century this is how the they should look like. -

I agree with you about the operaiting cost, but what do you do when a B-1B comes flying over at mach 2 and you have no SAMs? -

I dont know why there is no mention of it, the planes that are menioned are only he planes that are in the competition (except for the Mirage F1 which is almost just as obsolete as the MiGs and Phantoms),I think its not in the competition becouse of its nationality (I didint make the list, the air force made it). -

The only real threat is Serbia with its ex-Yugoslav MiG-29s. -
The Croatian air force (supersonic fighter department) consists of 5-8 modernized MiG-21BisD (10 not modernized in storage) and are at the end of their service life and are soon to be replaced. Here is some more information on the subject : Due to the global economic crisis which also affected Croatia, the decision on which fighter type should eventually enter service has been deferred until 2011, rather than by 2009 as was initially planned. This will see new aircraft enter service no sooner than 2012–2013. At the same time, after years of research and discussions, Air Force experts have released the study on new fighter procurement which states that Croatian Air Force needs at least 16 to 18 fighters in order to fulfill all its duties. As an interim solution the possibility of reactivating six to seven MiG-21s (out of 12 stored a few years ago) was mentioned in 2009 by some media. Similarly, there was also the possibility of one additional overhaul to the existing MiGs which was to prolong their life for another five years facilitating thus the burden of the fighter procurement costs on the country's budget. However, this possibility was officially rejected and on April 11, 2011 the Minister of Defence confirmed that Croatia will maintain a fleet of fighter aircraft and that it will not relegate its airspace control to any of the NATO membering countries. He also added that the decision on which aircraft to obtain will be brought in the upcoming months but having in mind not only the needs of the military but also of the entire country's economy In March 2011 a new information appeared in the Croatian media citing that Germany was prepared to donate (or sell cheaply) up to 20 of its F-4 Phanton II fighters to Croatia. Soon after, a similar offer was proposed by the Swedish Air Force which is willing to donate a squadron of its second-hand SAAB Gripen aircraft free of charge to match German offer. Both proposals along with numerous other possibilities are currently under revision. The last one, from February 2012., speculates about F-16 Block 15 fighters from the Dutch Air Force. Persistent media reports and ministerial statements focus on a life extension program for the existing HRZ MiG-21 fleet as a lower cost short-term alternative. The most recent reports suggest that Romanian company Aerostar – who upgraded the HRZ MiG-21 fleet to bisD / UMD standard in 2003 – will perform a limited overhaul on 12 aircraft (8 single-seat, 4 twin-seat) without any systems upgrades. It is unclear, but there are suggestions that this may involve surplus Romanian LanceR airframes. Following an accident with a MiG-21UMD (the aircraft popularly known as 'Kockica') losing its canopy during a post-maintenance flight, on 20 June 2012 the Defence Minister issued a statement that a replacement aircraft or refurbishment package would be selected within 45 days. Despite the Minister's statement no announcement was made and the next development came on 8 October 2012 when Saab offered Croatia a financing deal for 6 single-seat and 2 twin-seat JAS39C/D Gripen. No further statement was released within the deadline for the Gripen purchase. Although as with all Croatian military purchases official detail is sketchy, but media reports are consistent that the HRZ has opted to send the MiG-21UM/D fleet and possibly an additional two attrition replacement MiG-21UM for overhaul in either Romania or Ukraine.
