The Indian Air Force (IAF) bid farewell to the Russian-origin MiG-21 fighter jets in Chandigarh on Friday (September 26). The iconic fighter jets, which were inducted into the IAF in 1963, were decommissioned after six decades of service. MiG-21 fighter jets played a key role in India’s military campaigns, including the 1965 India-Pakistan War, the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, and the 1999 Kargil conflict. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh attended the decommissioning ceremony of MiG-21 jets, and he was joined by the Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan, Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi, and Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi. The MiG-21 was nicknamed “flying coffin” due to its high crash rate.Â
