MiG-21 Retirement: End of an Era, Dawn of a New Indian Air Force

Today, the Indian Air Force says goodbye to a legend — the MiG-21.
For over six decades, this iconic fighter shaped India’s skies, from the 1971 war to countless air defense missions. The MiG-21 was India’s first supersonic jet, a game changer that humbled advanced fighters and became the backbone of the IAF.

But its story is not just one of glory — it is also one of sacrifice, controversy, and resilience.
In this video, Strategic Vanguard pays tribute to the MiG-21’s legacy while looking ahead to a new era for the IAF — with Tejas, Rafale, Su-30MKI, and the upcoming AMCA shaping the future of Indian airpower.

End of an era. Beginning of a new one.
