Today they are kept in great condition and pilots get more flight hours than ever before. Some 12-15 older MiG-21s are kept in reserve but as seen on some unofficial pictures, few of them could be put into service in a matter of days in case of any real threat. [b]Their modernization included a complete overhaul, integration of new communication, IFF and GPS equipment.[/b] Their weakest point was the fact that they had to be guided from the ground and had the capability to fire missiles only to the rear part of the enemy aircraft. These disadvantages were addressed and MiG-21s now have a full all-aspect capability and do not require any guidance from ground stations thus making it impossible for anyone to interfere or jam their missions. They are scheduled to be retired by 2011 after new fighters are obtained.[/quote] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:MiG_21-Bis_Croatian_air_force.JPG[/url] Une sérigraphie... spéciale. 8)[/quote]
