In the West, due to the lack of available information, early details of the MiG-21 often were confused with those of similar Soviet fighters of the era. In one instance, Jane's All the World's Aircraft 1960â1961 listed the Fishbed as a Sukhoi design and used an illustration of the Su-9 'Fishpot' .he MiG-21 was also used extensively in the Middle East conflicts of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s by Egyptian Air Force, Syrian Air Force and Iraqi Air Force. The MiG-21 first encountered Israeli Mirage III Cs on 14 November 1964, but it was not until 14 July 1966 that the first MiG-21 was shot down.
