MiG-21

This MiG-21 was found abandoned in Afghanistan, propped up and ripped out. The scavengers seem to have gotten to this abandoned MiG-21. The MiG-21, known by its NATO moniker as the Fishbed, is a single engine jet fighter produced by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau as an improvement on prior generations of the MiG-17 and MiG-19. Both had been used to great effect in both the Korean and Vietnam but, surprisingly, the MiG-21 has been flying since 1953. There were so many made, no wonder a few are now abandoned planes.
