An upgraded export version of the third generation of the MiG-21 Soviet interceptor of the 1970s.
The third generation of the MiG-21 was developed based on experience from Vietnam and Arab-Israeli Wars, which proved the need of range and weapon load increase. First there appeared the MiG-21R reconnaissance fighter, with enlarged spine, housing an additional 340 l tank, and with a second pair of underwing pylons plumbed to accept drop tanks. In 1965 a fighter version MiG-21S, with dorsal tank housed in enlarged sp ine and four underwing weapon/fuel provisions inherited from the R version was developed. The aircraft was fitted with a new RP-22 radar and ASP-PFD gunsight.
A subsequent version was MiG-21SM, powered by a new R-13-300 engine and featuring integral GSh-23 ventral cannon. The export version MiG-21MF, with the engine and the RP-22 radar of the SM version was subsequently developed and produced in the years 1970–1975.
The MiG-21MF number 6504 was donated in 1996 by the No. 10 Fighter Regiment in Łask.
