Description

The ◊MiG-21bis "Lazur-M" (Izdeliye [Product] 75A; NATO "Fishbed-L") is a premium gift rank VII German jet fighter with a battle rating of 11.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Apex Predators".

A version of the MiG-21bis with a homeland air-defense datalink system (Lazur-M); although the name may sound fancy, the jet itself is essentially yet another MiG-21bis. Like the other variants in East German and Soviet service, it is equipped with a powerful engine and varieties of weaponry for different occasions, capable of both intensive air-intercept missions or simple ground-attacking missions with unguided weapons.

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: GSh-23L (23 mm)

The MiG-21 "Lazur-M" (Germany) is armed with:

  • A choice between two presets:
    • 1 x 23 mm GSh-23L cannon, belly-mounted (250 rpg)
    • 1 x 23 mm GSh-23L cannon + 64 x countermeasures

Suspended armament

The MiG-21 "Lazur-M" (Germany) can be outfitted with the following ordnance presets:

  • Without load
  • 2 x R-13M1 missiles
  • 4 x R-13M1 missiles
  • 4 x R-3S missiles
  • 4 x R-13R missiles
  • 6 x R-60MK missiles
  • 4 x R-60MK missiles
  • 8 x 100 kg OFAB-100 bombs (800 kg total)
  • 2 x 250 kg FAB-250M-62 bombs (500 kg total)

  • 2 x ZB-500 incendiary bombs
  • 2 x 32 S-5K rockets (64 total)
  • 4 x 16 S-5K rockets (64 total)

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Powerful Tumansky R-25 engine with high acceleration, climb rate, and power-weight ratio
  • Relatively large air-to-air payload for its tier
  • All-aspect IR AAMs
  • Varieties of air-to-air/ground weapons
  • Improved overall performance to previous Fishbeds

Cons:

  • Delta wing causes massive speed bleed in turns
  • The R-25 engine has rather high fuel consumption at afterburning
  • Control surfaces lock at higher speeds

History

The "Lazur-M" (Лазурь-М; Azure-M), also known by its equipment name ARL-SM, was a communication equipment for PVO (Air-Defense Force) jets as part of their land-based air-defense system "Dozduh-1" (Воздух-1; Air-1). Lazur-M was first installed on the MiG-21S and retained on later models of the MiG-21 including the MiG-21bis; these were the base model of earlier MiG-21bis exported to Warsaw Pact countries, and the LSK (East German Air Force) was one of the users. Later deliveries were equipped with the Polyot ILS system (producing the MiG-21bis-SAU; Sistema Avtomaticheskovo Upravleniya, Automatic Landing System).

The default livery in game is Red 872 (build no. 75033151) of JG (Jagdfliegergeschwader)-8, 1.LVD based in Neuhardenberg Marxwalde Airfield (now a regional airport) near Berlin. This aircraft was then numbered 24-27 of Luftwaffe and decommissioned on German Unification Day, and later scrapped in Dresden.[1]

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
