BOY! The amt of disinfo here can make it difficult for anyone to decide true & false. Given the conflicts that are raging & political posturing between #US & #China #US & #Russia #UkraineRussiaWar #RussiaUkraineWar #India & #China I have a unique thread #εpsilon 
No. 1, The event eg. something happens btw 2 countries, trust in this order and identify overlaps. The overlap is usually true.

Looks like my #IndianNavy missile test thread blew up so, a follow on thread on its sister force #IndianAirForce . The collective west, coming out of the Cold War expected the #IAF to be a more Soviet aligned force. #Su30MKI #F35B #TROPEX #εpsilon #MiG21 #MiG21Bison #Mirage2000
In March 1963, the first batch of MiG-21 arrived in India. Over the past 60 years,the aircraft, including all variants flown by the IAF, have been part of various operations, including the 1971 Indo-Pak War, 1999 Kargil war and the most recent air duel after the Balakot airstrike
The Indian Air Force force has operated about 872 MiG-21 fighters since the time they were first inducted in the 1963.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited licence-produced 657 of these jets. Over the years, avionics, missiles and radars were upgraded with newer versions.

MiG-21 (Fishbed, Vikram, Trishul, Bison, Mongol) and the innumerable variants in @IAF_MCC 's long service history have consistently been a conundrum for enthusiasts. This thread attempts an (over)simplified evolution of the MiG-21 types in IAF service. #IAFHistory #MiG21 (1/27)
MiG-21F-13 Type-74 Fishbed-C was the first in IAF. 6 of these were acquired in Mar 1963 & served till 1968. F= Forsirovannyy ("Uprated") and 13 denotes the K-13 Air-to-Air Missiles it carried. They carried the serial numbers BC-816 to BC-821. (2/27)
Powered by the R-11 engine, pitot tube was below the engine intake,unlike subsequent types, where it was on top.The armament was the K-13 missile & one 30mm cannon. Designed for intercepts, its short endurance, lack of radar & poor single shot kill probability was a problem(3/27)
La #Bielorussia ha costretto all'atterraggio con i #mig21 il volo #FR4978 Atene-Vilnius della @Ryanair, mentre sorvola il suo spazio aereo. Sul volo il giornalista e oppositore #RamanPratasevich che viene prelevato dalle autorità all'aeroporto di Minsk.

ufficialmente le autorità sono intervenute per un allarme bomba sul volo, all'aeroporto erano schierate unità dei pompieri e dei soccorsi pronte ad intervenire
il volo #FR4978 aveva quasi raggiunto il confine Lituano quando ha dovuto virare e rientrare su Minsk (che si trovava più lontano di Vilnius stessa)

Rozhovory jako ten s architektem Okamurou vám dávají argumenty pro změnu i u vás: "V Kodani se například výrazně podařilo utlumit automobilový provoz a dostat víc lidí do ulic. Spočítali si totiž, že tím víc město prosperuje."
