To commemorate MiG-21’s first flight, its 1964 modification, MiG-21PFM, renamed by East Germany as MiG-21SPS-K, returns to sale for Golden Eagles from June 16th (12:00 GMT) until June 20th (9:00 GMT)! K in its name means “Kanone”, as it can be equipped with a two-barrel 23 mm GSh-23L cannon that fires powerful, fast, and precise rounds. The aircraft can also carry R-60 and R-13M missiles, and even R-3R, semi-active radar homing missiles!
