Photos of SyAAF MiG-21s - Updated II

Updating the photo archive of Syrian MiG-21's with new interesting stuff from the period before and after the current Syrian uprising.
Starting to a photo for the MiG-21R which is in display in Teshreen Panorama in Damascus. This photo is one of the first being taken for this aircraft since the reg. number is still readable 676, as recently the plane received new paint with terrible froggy patterned camo where the serial number is hidden completely -I prefer not to post here at all.

Another shot for the same reconnaissance variant (note the wing tips which are different than any other fighter variant of this type). Here it's equipped with 2 x AA2 Atol's with 2 x UB-16 unguided rocket pod (thanks to Oryx for his latest post about pods). BUT, because of the style of the post carrying the aircraft, it was impossible to mount the very famous camera pod on the centreline pylon.

Again, new photos for the monumental SyAAF MiG-21FL at the main entrance of Kweres AFB, this time while rebels are shelling the base with locally made rockets.

Another take for the same FL in a foggy ambiance as hardly we can see the signage of the Air Force Academy on the furthest right.

The MiG-21MF served for the SyAAF for more than 40 years. I believe there are no more survivors of this type nowadays. Thus, I would consider any post-uprising spotted MiG-21 is a 'bis'. Here is one releasing two S-24 air-to-surface unguided missiles.

Not to forget the second MiG-21bis with serial 2280 downed just after taking off from Abu DhHour AFB in August 2012.

SyAAF MiG-21bis maneuvering over Tabqa town (near Euphrates Dam).

Another bis accelerating after releasing its load somewhere near Tabqa town.

Some other photos of SyAAF MiG-21's I could collect from the web, updating the first post of this aircraft I posted in Dec. last year.
Here above, another photo of the MiG-21PFM that in display on a roundabout in Aleppo not very far from the entrance of the Artillery School.

SyAAF MiG-21FL at the first entrance of Kweres AFB (AKA Rasm Al Abboud AFB), photographed during the Syrian uprising. Note the local made surface-to-surface missile -in the background- fired by rebels towards the air field.

More recent photo of the same MiG-21FL.

Very nice and rare shot of a SyAAF MiG-21MF during the war of 1973. It is fitted with four AA-2 Atol's.

MiG-21R at the Panorama of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. It is fitted with air-to-air missile plus unguided rocket pod under each wing. Unfortunately, no serial is visible on this airframe. 

Special thanks to 'PFC Joker' for his great and very rare addition. I quote from his text "This MiG-21UM captured at Dabaa AB - and now supposedly recaptured by the Syrian Army - has a clearly visible serial № 516871061 on its fin. Also of interest is the Soviet Air Force red star with a Syrian flag crudely painted over it - it seems that the aircraft was taken out of service in Soviet Union and sent to Syria (probably as a part of emergency weapon deliveries just after the 1973 year Arab-Israeli war) "
