U2 Spy plane vs MIG 21

How about the b52, entered service in 1952, will probably be still in service in 2052. It too has been upgraded multiple times.

This is an unarmed recon plane compared with a main frontline combat fighter

The us still use b52 that was creaed in 1948 so...

…. Not really comparable?

Alright, The Thing is, the make 21 was a mass-produced pile of s*** like it was It was bad even in its time. In fact, it had so many death, causing failures. That at 1 point in the design phase, it was spinning out so much and the pilots couldn't recover it. Due to the lack of situational awareness, they literally painted a solid white line that divided the cockpit because they needed a solid reference of where to put their stick at, and then even if you did that, there's still a good chance that if you spin it, you're gonna die which. Isn't good in a fighter which is inherently unstable at? As is and then you give it a Delta wing. Which makes it even moron's table, especially due to the size of sedware even at its day. It was bad that you 2 when it came out. Was a revolutionary spy craft that could fly so high that nothing could touch it. In its day, it was king among kings. It had a camera of such good quality, a camera that is still used. To this day, though, it was able to take pictures that you could zoom in app to 20 times and read a car's literal license plate from d*** Near the edge of the stratosphere hell and the reason it's useful today is because of that same camera. And now, instead of flying directly over countries, it flies along Borders, but it still serves a purpose, and it is still the only aircraft we have that can do this. That is why it is used. It is still revolutionary decades later. The mic was obsolete when it was dropped off the assembly line.

Damn thats some copium if ive ever seen it

these are two different categories come on now.

The US spends more than a mig on just its maintenance lol

India is reluctant to invest airforce, they invested manpower they think technology cannot win a war but manpower do,, drones can wipe out entire millions of Indian army,, indian oligarchy they know how to eat indian poor peoples taxes, rich Indians which is 1 percent control 90%percent of country's gdp plus 80%percent of country's arable land its like modern economy slaves borrowed from indian classic feudal system

O..k..and mig21? Nothing burger?

I dont get it?? Whats the point of this video?? The Us still has it because its still functional to them and they are upgrading it. The mig 21 are merely upgraded and we cannot replace them because we just simply don’t have enough money at the moment to replace them all, and we are replacing them slowly. Migs from 60’s are basically a flying coffin. Simple as that . Jai hind

Kya logic hai...

Only the indians would compare the two lol

F16 isn't much newer than the mig 21, first flight in 74, started service in 78.

Bulshitt logic 101

Two can’t be compared, u2 is developed and maintained by us. Mig 21 spares are not available and hal is having issues in producing the spares, most of the parts are coming from salvaged mig 21 parts. If mig cooperation was supporting mig 21 spares then it was ok to compare

Apples and oranges

So they’re ok with and obsolete Air Force… got it.

What? Apples and oranges man

Totally unlinked

Because the Indian airforce are bribed to make sure the migs keep flying

Stupid analysis as they are not comparable.

Guys stop crying in the comments ...the most advanced f35 crashed recently ...what do u say abt that???

My man did not just compare the use of outdated fighters to FUCKING RECON AIRCRAFT

U2 is a reconnaisance plane, the MiG21 is a fighter plane, very different aircrafts, you cannot compare them

This is the most stupidest comparison

How many pilots died flying U2 ?

They plan to retire the U2 in 2026

Our aircraft is old and pilots are dying, but the US also has old aircrafts why dont you blame them blah blah hindoo logic

Okay great, now we know the best of engineering of an era defines the quality of engineering for everything of that era!

Why don’t you go drive a 1965 Cadillac and then drive a mint condition 1965 VIL presidential car…you’ll see the difference between the best the Soviets of the 60’s could do and the best the Americans of the 60’s can do.

It’s not even close to the same. The Fishbed is a bad fighter. Fragile, low load, exceptionally poor maneuverability. Can’t accept multi-role avionics without massive upgrades. Huge radar cross section. It’s slow.

Death coffins

The indian government uses outdated fighter jets and other things because they're in a tight budget always!!! The government can't stretch its budget much!!! So always using outdated technology for several decades!!! 😢😮😢😮😢😮😢😮😢😮😢.

You would be better off comparing to the b52

....because one has value
...the other not so much

My queston is why the u2 and not the71

Indian cope will never not be funny.

Figthers has to be better than its opponent spy planes don't have to be better they can be better but not must

Apples and oranges my guy

Indian flim no 1 even elephant can fly to

India sux

So the US has an old plane that's great at its job, so India should keep an old plane that isn't. That's some third world logic there...

what does the mig21 have to do with the U2?
frack, stop trying to make the Indian army seem powerful. Maybe there are a few regiments used to fighting in in the mountains.....otherwise it is still an empty shell.

So the 1960s plane defeated the f16 in pakistan

I'm not exactly sure why we are comparing THESE two aircraft.... Um .

The U-2 has been shot down several times!

This logic is idiotic the comparison is stupid! by the way, I’m not American

What is the answer ? Why they are used lol

U2 is a spy plane not a fighter

The indians had upgraded the 1950s jet MiG21 into F16 killing machine.

These incidents shocked the US and pakistan till today😂

Its wrong to compare both of them more indian pilots have lost their lives due to Mig 21
