|July 23, 2025
AFTER PROTECTING THE Indian skies through all major conflicts over more than six decades, the legendary MiG-21 fighter jets are set to retire in September.
Sources in the military said the Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to retire the remaining Russian-origin MiG-21 fleet in a ceremonial decommissioning on September 19 at the Chandigarh airbase. Two squadrons of the MiG-21 Bisons are currently active.
India procured more than 700 MiG-21 aircraft of different variants, such as the Type-77, Type-96, BIS and the Bison, since the aircraft's induction into the IAF in 1963.
