The Mig21 is a timeless aircraft. She never gets old. It's been 69 years in 2024 since she first flew. Still flying high in many airforces around the world. There will never be another fighter like you, Mig21 :)

9 miles per minute…. Dats a lotta gas. This is why I never pursued the purchase of that Mig 15 when I was 18 years old. $25,000 for the jet. $50,000 a month fuel bill. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Was your question the gpm? That was mine. Too much I’m thinking. But is there ANY way to upgrade these vintage aircraft’s to burn more efficiently? I know I’m talking about going literally Mach 2 lmao but surely there is an alternativr
I once saw a 2-seat TF-104 Starfighter for sale that was not only running and in airworthy condition, but it was MACH 2 CAPABLE! You'd have to live on the coast though so you could fly over international waters to do a mach 2 run. But it's absolutely mind boggling we live in a time where civilians can acquire mach 2 capable jets. 🤯
There’s way more than that available if you know where to look. There is currently an F4 for sale, mig-21s are a dime a dozen, I have even seen mig-35s available. No lie. The US government regulates the sales of all military jets and purchase is subject to an approval process but it’s more than possible.
@@BLACKMONGOOSE13 you’re telling me there are mig 35s on sale to the „public“? Those things had their first public flight in 2016 I mean It may well be true but this sounds insane

Ah yes, I've been thinking about buying a supersonic jet for quite a while now. I originally had my heart set on either a Sukhoi 35 or a Lockheed SR-71, but those were a bit out of my price range. This will be just perfect for me and my wife!
Supersonic Interceptor*! One of the best interceptors of it’s time, it was designed to take down heavy, high-altitude bombers such as the B-51/52! It was fit with a 25mm cannon, and could carry up to 4 A-A heatseeker missiles, or 4 A-A IR-Guided missiles

About the camera, it wasn't used in combat for recording kills like most planes, it was actually just used for training, recording when the trigger was pulled in lieu of bullets to determine if the trainee achieved a kill
@Jack Schneider I was talking about the MiG-21 specifically, in case anyone thought it operated the same as a gun cam in other fighters. The mounting location of the camera on the MiG kind of obscures the gun sight so it wouldn't be very useful for combat. I don't believe it was ever regularly used in combat but there may be outliers. As I understand, the MiG-21 camera was primarily a training tool
@@kampase Ah just read your comment closer my bad. Yup, you’re totally right. It’s also a pretty large and bulky camera, makes sense why this one would only be used in training. It’s also in the two seater which also makes sense. Good correction!
@@mattin5850 that's miles per gallon he is talking about vs gallons per mile. Small switch big difference. Even on the highway the hellcat would only use 0.045 gallons a mile ( the math made with your value 22) that pretty small compared to 5.1 .
Being a family of three we opted for the Su34, which came in with a little discount compared to western manufacturer and an optional third seat at a very affordable price. First we opted for a Prowler hawing 4 seats, but as the seller told us it doesn't fly supersonic, so we changed our mind, it was simply to slow. I'm not sure about the consumption, but we should well below the 5 gallon per mile threshold. 😂😂😂

As bdben said, help looking between outside and inside. The turquoise green/blue helps eye to quickly get focus to infinity and to close range. And the color as well relaxes mind in high stress events. That is why maturity hospitals has often these torquis green painted walls, or operation rooms have similar green/blue colors to calm patients and surgeons etc. And when you have black instruments as circular, you easily spot them, instead everything being black or grey.

Aaah, yes! A common purchase from me! I just got my son an f-22 raptor last week, thinking of getting my dad something too.
I love how the Soviets painted the interior that colour because it tested best for reducing eyestrain on longer missions.
That color was popular in the fifties. I think it was standard for some Chevies and Ramblers.
As bdben said, help looking between outside and inside.
The turquoise green/blue helps eye to quickly get focus to infinity and to close range.
And the color as well relaxes mind in high stress events.
That is why maturity hospitals has often these torquis green painted walls, or operation rooms have similar green/blue colors to calm patients and surgeons etc.
And when you have black instruments as circular, you easily spot them, instead everything being black or grey.
If I had the money I’d buy it in a heartbeat beautiful aircraft
Be careful playing with hydraulics. It will kill you. Especially the 3-4K PSI In the MIG
can you explain?
@@254lele High pressure = dangerous
@@truereaper4572 also for the blood
Let them figure it out the hard way. Better now before they get into the air and fuckin crash it into a school or something.
@@254lele hydraulics takes fluid in motion (fluid energy) and creates a mechanical movement. They playing around on control surfaces. If he had his finger in between the aileron and the structure it would rip his finger off like it wasn’t there. It would crush/sever bodies in half. Google hydraulic Injection in hand and let me know what you think.
I was on the fence but this video convinced me!
The HOA is going to love this one when you do the high power test on the engine!! Woo hooooo!!!!!
Thanks for the tip bro! I'm going to head on over to my local mig dealership tomorrow ..🤠👍
So hop on over to Ruskie Reds
used jet emporium and pick out the jet of your dreams. Don’t forget they’re going fast!
Get it! But seriously will trade for gold bullion. Or vodka.
Thanks, this was a really helpful video! Your video has helped me to decide that for my lower income, I will be purchasing the Northrop F-5 Sikoshi Tiger due to its better fuel mileage.
I believe this is a good purchase for all small families 😂😂😂 love the progress congratulations man!
You had me at gallons per mile
Isn't that normal in america? 😅
like the usual count for american trucks?
totally gonna buy a multi million jet when i have 15 dollars
You can buy it for 300,000 usd.
Very cheap for a mach 2 aircraft 😊
@@ernesthill4017I don't those ones have much left inside them. 300 grand to buy a few million to refurbish, plus would be surprised if it still had the engine...
I’m so glad you made this video! I was just thinking about parking this thing in my driveway
Sounds like a great purchase. I would say go for it!
I love it when your plane has a built in kill feed
Buddy I can't wait to see you taxi that thing down the run way... My fear is that you may actually attempt to fly which is cool, landing is the tricky part... Have fun stay safe... Hope you join the air force
It will fly soon
Isn't MiG-21 supposed to be a very difficult plane to fly even for a fighter jet? I love how it's pretty much just a massive engine with some little wings stuck to it.
Better get the Indian Air Force to inspect that shit before you take off. They are the only ones who still use them.
@Brian S 😂😂😂
@@jackschneider17 You’ll grow wings and fly yourself before this gets in the air.
Mother of God the cockpit instrumentation is glorious.
Bro just casually have a mig-21 in his house☠️
yeah man I just got me a new f15 in my garage for my wife she gon be excited
@@lolacexl 💀
Bro needs so much security so he brought a military jet plane 💀
Bro’s running from the FBI, CIA, Taxman, NASA, Russia, NATO, China, and pretty much everybody else. I’m telling you, it’s only a matter of time till he gets his hands on an Abrams…
Very relatable and much needed video. Totally not just bragging about your jet
Oh I'm so thankful for this video. I was really trying to decide which supersonic jet to buy.
"Good purchase for small families"
BRUH. It has 1 seat. 💀😂
You can always take your lil baby on your lap for a 1960's plane trip
It’s a very small family
Great info, was gonna buy a Mig today but decided a Camry would be a better suited transporter for me. Looking forward to more videos.
Been following you for a long time, nice to see you in your jet
60 years old and still faster than 99.6% off all aircraft in sky
Back in the 60s jets were made for speed but overtime they made them slower but more maneuverable
Love the turquoise color in the interior ❤
Classic russia
99.9% of us can’t even afford that😭
You'd be suprised. Some of these junk planes go for like 10k
@@iannordin5250 Yea and then blow another half a million probably more to have it functional
Perfect family vehicle for long trips and road trips! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
When you absolutely positively have to be there on time.
My daily right here, take the kids to school in it every morning! They grow up so fast 😢
No drug in existence can explain how high this video made me feel.
Good purchase for most small families. The delivery is brilliant 😂
Russian are the most badass bros out there bro got a kill cam on his jet
you dont go by miles per gallon anymore. you go by gallons per mile.
Actually pounds per hour
Yo you know I was literally gonna go pick that up from the local store 💀
My neighbor: Check out my new jet.
Me: OUR jet.
Bro they were so petty they added a kill cam💀
now we need a compilation of them in Ukraine
@@waludalu5102FUCK YEAH
Just about the same GPM as my truck 😂
hahahaahaa
5.1 miles per gallon bro thats more efficient than a pargani
Lol no no he didn’t say miles per gallon he said gallons per mile
@@Raeeban ah makes sense😂
@@Raeeban It would burn over $100 worth of fuel, just taking off, circling the airport, and landing! Maybe he can sign it on with Uber, if he ever achieves airworthiness?
Thanks for this review, man. I wasn't sure about which jet to buy: a MiG-21 or an F-104. I did realize the MiG is more fuel efficient, so I'm getting that for my daily commute to college.
Great purchase, especially you found one intact cause most of them crashed and burned... 😊
I want to buy a Swedish SK60
Honestly, not gonna lie... I think I do too. Maybe even a Vampire or oh, I know, a Draken 😈
@@howlingbeats2544 i just love the look of the SK60, also i found a draken for $250,000 if you want me to send it to you (needs about $100,000 in repairs before airworthy)
@@LarySeeAircraft That is a suprisingly cheap jet, but alas I have no money nor permits to fly such beuts. Maybe in the future.
@@howlingbeats2544 lol
@@howlingbeats2544Viggen
My dude, let me know when you get an old F-14 Tomcat. 😂 I’d love to see the video on that 😂
Now THAT I will buy.
Yes something you could only dream about as a kid but can manageably afford now that you're an adult
10 gallons per mile would definitely hurt your wallet
This will go great for my family. Thank you so much.
