Shocking

With full diamond shock-wave studded re-heat, fabulous Romanian Air Force Mikoyan Mig-21 LanceR-C '6824' from Escadrila 861 blasts away from Fairford's runway to display during RIAT 2019

 

According to Wiki:

From 1962 onwards the Romanian Air Force took delivery of their first Mig-21 'Fishbeds'

 

Just over 30 years later the fleet underwent a modernisation programme via Elbit Systems with their Mig-21MF/MF-75's becoming the LanceR-C Air Superiority version

 

With another 20 years or so passing these ancient warriors will soon be retired in favour of pre-owned F-16's
