Hi Martinez !

Unfortunately, I do not have cockpit photo of Bulgarian MiG-21MFR.
I think, Alexander Mladenov can help to You.
He wrote an excellent article in World Air Power Journal about BgAF.

Well, the Mig-21 has never been considered as a nuclear carrier, in contrary the Su-7,17,22, Mig-23BN were. I`ve heard that some mig-21 were wired, but lacked the electronic blocks to drop the nuke. Also I do not remember hearing about Migs-21 being tested on the ground with the equipment(special nuke pylon, wirring and electronic block) as happened often in the case of the Su-7,Mig-23BN. I`m sure that Czechoslovakia and other WP countries have never owned a live nuke, but we had trained personal both flying and ground to handle the bomb for a special reason. What I know for today is that there was a mock-up of the IAB-500 delivered to a flight school in Czechoslovakia, photo posted on previous page.
I would like to know what equipment are you talking about in case of nuke capable Mig-21. thanks

martinez !

MiG-21MFR

It was a unic version, served only in Bulgaria.

After the retirement of the old MiG-21Rs, Bulgaria modified some MiG-21MFs.
They removed the gun, and installed the recce equipment to the MF.
It called MiG-21MFR.

wonderfoul, thanxs a lot really, my friend.
Red 07 is a 21R. I have that photo but I did not see the pod on the wingtip,
now is time for me to buy a pair of eyeglasses, I think…
hi
gianni

MiG-21Rs did not carry the wingtip pods always.
The control-box of the recce-pods, on the canopy-frame the real “trademark” of the type.
+ no gun under the fuselage, only a cable-duct from the nose-wheel bay to the fuselage pylon.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the 23 could carry Nukes.. Even 21Bis was wired to carry Nukes.

MiG-21PF,PFM,SM,SMTs were Nuke-capable too.
I have photos of the equipment.

There was a rumour in the War-Pac countries:
” All MiG-21R was Nuke-capable. The Soviets made “camouflaged-Nuke”, under the skin of the recce-pods of the MiG-21Rs. It was a 5Kt A-bomb.

In the ’70s, the DDR based SovietAF MiG-21Rs flown patrols with live-Nukes in the East-German airspace… “

It sounds really-Russian-style…any more info ?

Every SovietAF MiG-21 -23 units in the War-Pac countries had a squadron with nuclear task.
The planes in these squadrons flown with the spec pylon always.

A very nice sand-green MiG-21R.

It was on the back-cover of SquadronSignal MiG-21 in Color book(with uncorrect notes – MiG-21MF)

Two nice colour photos from Sergei Tsvetkovs collection:

Thank You pesho !

But really hard to find old, operational-photos of WarPac, SovietAF from ’80s, ’70s…
Photos, that was taken after 1990, and museum-photos are not too informative.

The “56” MiG-23BN delivered in 1977(by arrow-aviation), and in 1982, it was uncamouflaged, it is interesting at a ground-attack plane.

This MiG-23BN-photo was taken in Bulgaria, 1982.
It was a large War-Pac Exercise.

When I scanned My old black-white slides, I was surprised.
It is a gray ’23BN !

Does anybody have information about the delivery-colours of all Bulgarian MiG-23BNs ?
And what about of the delivery-colours of the East-German and Czech MiG-23BNs ?
