 == Description ==
 <!-- ''In the description, the first part should be about the history of and the creation and combat usage of the aircraft, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the aircraft in the game. Insert a screenshot of the vehicle, so that if the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, he will immediately understand what kind of vehicle the article is talking about.'' -->
-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (NATO Code: Fishbed-F) is a gift rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet jet fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced during [[Update "Hot Tracks"]] as a reward for the [[wt:en/news/6981-special-operation-w-i-n-t-e-r-en|2020 Operation W.I.N.T.E.R.]] event.
+The MiG-21 (NATO Code: Fishbed) was a Soviet jet designed with the intent of replacing the older generation of subsonic fighters, which were becoming outdated and outperformed by their Western counterparts. It was developed in the 1950s and quickly became the most produced supersonic aircraft in history, with over 11,000 units built. The MiG-21 played a significant role in various conflicts around the world and was widely exported to many countries due to its affordability and effectiveness. The MiG-21PF series of aircraft was specialized for all-weather interception. It featured improved radar and avionics systems, allowing it to operate effectively in adverse weather conditions and at night. The aim of this series of aircraft was to mitigate potential dangers posed by enemy bombers and other high-altitude aircraft. Among these was the '''{{Specs|name}}''' variant, which further enhanced the capabilities of the MiG-21PF series. It underwent various improvements and reductions, including the elimination of an internally mounted gun and an inflated fuselage section. As a result, the aircraft relied on a GP-9 gun pod mounted on the belly as well as external armaments like missiles and rockets.

 However, the MiG-21PFM gets access to one more trick up its sleeve - the Kh-66 guided air-to-ground missiles. Packing an impressive punch, these missiles are mouse-guided, meaning that you can simply point the nose of the aircraft at the tank, launch the missile, and watch it explode. The missile itself is capable of destroying most ground targets at its BR with a single hit. Note that you must keep the aircraft's nose pointed at the target until the missile hits, meaning that you cannot pull out of a dive or other attack run until the missile has reached its target.
