Hello,
Iraq received 16 aircraft in two batches.
The transfer of MiG-21 aircraft to Iraq was interrupted because of the Coup on 08 February 1963 (also known as the Ramadan Revolution)
The first batch had serials 522 - 531 (10 aircraft) and were delivered in June 1962 (Gorki built)
These planes had the SRO-1 IFF antenna on the upper fuselage.
Lindr report for this batch:
522 74212121
523 74212122
524 74212123
525 74212124
526 74212125
527 74212201
528 74212202
529 74212203
530 74212204
531 74212205
Are these construction numbers assumed or from documents ?????
The second batch had serials 532 - 537 (6 aircraft) and were delivered in October 1963.
The second batch aircraft had NO SRO-1 IFF antenna on the upper fuselage.
Serial 534 defected to Israel on 16 August 1966 (and later to USA and serialed 68-0965). This plane had c/n 1104 (Moscow built)
This batch is MOST LIKELY (C/n 1101 is Bulgarian AF 501, del September 1963):
532 741102 (743001102 ?)
533 741103 (743001103 ?)
534 741104 (743001104 ?)
535 741105 (743001105 ?)
536 741106 (743001106 ?)
537 741107 (743001107 ?)
Regards,
Jeroen
