Photos of SyAAF MiG-21s


 

Few photos for SyAAF MiG-21's of different variants been collected from web and gathered to be posted here.
Starting with a MiG-21MF with four AA-2 Atoll missiles fitted on, might be photographed in Dhmeyr AFB (note the angular shape of HAS).


Another MiG-21MF with serial 1549 photographed in Dhmeyr AFB, this time with the Syrian hero Majeed Al Zughbi who claimed Seven air victories against IAF.

 
Another still for the same MiG-21MF.
 

A still for MiG-21 could be an 'M' variant as it carries the serial 19xx (a batch was delivered from East Germany shortly after the 1973 war) extracted from a media, referring to the old Syrian flag at the fin, it means this was videoed in late 1970s.

MiG-21MF with serial 460, also in display at the entrance of Al Tabaqa AFB.

Very special thanks for the very special gift for this blog prepared by our friend "Erased24" !!!
Awesome profiles of some SyAAF units those accurately rendered after referring to their real photos to be recorded as good reference for modellers. 

  
Starting with an L-39ZA with serial 2119, this UNIT which last seen fitted with unguided rocket pods, used to be operated from Kweres (Rasm Al Abboud) AFB.
On 19 November 2012, Free Syrian Army succeeded to shot down this aircraft which was assaulting towns and villages in the suburbs of Aleppo.

This UNIT was spotted twice at least last year releasing two free fall bombs (FAB-250) and firing unguided rockets over the city of Aleppo, also used to be operated from Kweres (Rasm Al Abboud) AFB.
