The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 is a Soviet single-engine supersonic fighter family first introduced in 1959. Numerous production marks and national upgrades followed; the Romanian LanceR shown here is a later modernised configuration.
The illustrated LanceR is retired in Romania. Dimensions and weights of unrelated MiG-21 marks are not assigned to this upgrade; no modern missile fit is inferred from the image.
