MiG-21 Retires After six Decades

After 62 years of defending India’s skies, the MiG-21 takes its final bow. From Cold War origins to combat victories in 1971, Kargil, and Balakot, this supersonic icon wasn’t just a fighter jet—it was a symbol of resilience, sacrifice, and national pride. As the Indian Air Force prepares to retire the MiG-21 on September 26, 2025, its legacy lives on in every sortie flown, every pilot trained, and every sonic boom that once echoed across the subcontinent. This is more than a farewell—it’s a salute to a legend that shaped India’s aerial doctrine and inspired a new generation of indigenous fighters.
