MiG-21 “Fishbed” Single-Engine Fighter Jet
This is a MiG-21 that was left abandoned in Afghanistan and has gone through a lot of ripping and pulling apart. The scavengers found this hidden spot from the look of things, and they did make the most of everything they could get. Due to the visible NATO moniker, we can easily link it to being a fishbed, a single-engine fighter jet. Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau produced it. Interestingly, it was an improved version of the MiG-17 and MiG-19, both used in Korea and Vietnam. The MiG-21 has been in operation since 1953, and with the huge number of units that were made, we see why so many are actually abandoned.
