MiG-21 saw frequent action in the Vietnam War and was one of the most advanced aircraft at the time. Employing the popular triangular wings, it was the first successful Soviet aircraft combining fighter and interceptor in a single aircraft. It was used also in early stages of the wars in Afghanistan but soon outclassed by the newer MiG-25 and MiG-27.
