You need to specify a MiG-21 variant, there are three generations of MiG-21 with quite varying capabilities.
The one you have posted appears to be a Romanian MiG-21 bis, which is the last soviet variant from 1972, that would be an obvious choice over a lightning and especially an F-100.
It has all weather capabilities, radar semi-active missiles, R-60 missiles, emergency afterburner ect.
Typical Lighting intercept if the Cold War had turned hot
> take off from RAF Binbrook > 5 seconds later at 30,000 ft > approach Tupolev > Firestreak missile misses > too cloudy to fire Red Top missile > switch to guns > immediately run out of fuel and bail out
The Brits were so good at coming up with interesting warplanes and so shit at actually arming them.
Same as their early WW2 tanks
> The “William The Conquerer” tank > weighs 150 tonnes > armed with one 2 pounder gun and a stick for poking Germans off the hill
Earlier lightnings had no Potbelly, it was added to provide more fuel, since the internal fuel capacity was very small.
The most interesting thing about the lightning that many overlook is how large it actually is, the two engines stacked on top of each other make it look deceptively like a lighter interceptor in the vein of the MiG-21, Su-7, F-104 or Mirage, however it was about twice the size of those aircraft with an OEW more comparable to the F-4 phantom.
One thing I have yet to understand is why they designed the wings the way they did. It's defined as a notched delta, but in essence it's a very swept back rectangular wing.
yeah
Yeah
F-100's not even remotely comparable to the other two
F-104 would be a better comparison
Its a better fighter bomber.
Mig-21 is da best.
Fucking love these flying doritos.
the J-7 is possibly the sexiest version
It's by far the sexiest version
Isn't the J-7G the most advanced Mig-21?
Even better than the Bis?
India also has their Bison which has a glass cockpit, HMS/HOBS and Active radar missiles.
Pretty similar to the most modern J-7s in concept and execution
Luv me flyin toobs with wings. Simple as
I love all three cause their noses snorf like they oughta
Sabre is the superior option
I havent seen a Mig Dance or a Lightning Dance before
That exact Super Saber flew over me while I was stuck in traffic earlier today.
I’ll always be a North American fan (mustang) so the super Sabre activates my almonds.
fuck off with your garbage, op
Why is it garbage anon?

Yeah
Lightning cos she SEXOOO AWOOGA
Why was the lightning pregnant anyway (Hot)
Was there a reason why they didn't just make it a straight engine.
Bump
Ah, so it is a fartsniffer thread. He's literally the only retard that bothers bumping his gay threads.
