Random Military History: MiG-21 in Finland.
1963 Finnish Air Force entered to new era with brand new Soviet MiG-21 jet fighters.
The MiG-21 was designed to fly high and fast, it is still faster than most of the modern fighters.
The purchasing the planes to Finland was a very interesting story. Planes were not actually bought, but the Soviet Union made an offer which could not be refused.
