mig21 ?? swing wing ???

came accross these on an urban exploration forum …..as you do !!

i’m probably way out , but are they mig 21s??? and if so weren’t they a delta type wing configuration ??

if so what is the swing wings story an aditional model ?? , a prototype ?? , a film mock up ??, or not even a mig 21 ???

Yes, a few MiG-21’s in there, but most are swing-wing Fitters.

so that would make them sukhois then ?? i noticed the 21s thaught most were 21s
