The Indian Air Force (IAF) has officially decided to retire the legendary MiG-21 fighter jets after 62 years of service, marking the end of an era in Indian military aviation. Known as the "flying coffin" due to its high crash rate, the MiG-21 has been a crucial part of India’s defence since the 1960s, playing key roles in the 1971 Indo-Pak War and the Kargil conflict.

With the induction of advanced fighters like the Rafale and Tejas, the IAF is now phasing out these vintage jets to modernize its fleet. This video explores the **history, achievements, and controversies** surrounding the MiG-21, featuring expert insights, archival footage, and reactions from veterans.
