It would be interesting to know the variant of mig 21 that crashed. I believe currently were only operating Bis and Bison upgrades of mig 21. We know that expect for bisons rest of the mig 21s will be removed from services by next 2 years however mig 21 bisons will be operational till 2025.
It says clearly in the article, its a MiG-21M (designated as Type 88 / 96). This is an improved type 77 produced by HAL from 1971-1981. Definitely one of the older variants, iirc, marked for phasing out soon.
