The Mig-21 dates from the Vietnam war era. It can’t maneuver, only shoot missiles. No wonder.

Oh, the MiG-21 can maneuver and could outmaneuver F4 Phantoms and F-105 Thuds - but the F-16 is a whole new breed of cat, thanks to the experience we got fighting MiG-21s.
The MiG-21 first flew in 1956 and I seem to remember that it's armed with a 23mm cannon. The MiG-21 wreck I found in the Sinai had a cannon.

Wreckage
Indian Mig 21
Definitely wreckage of an Indian Mig 21. See the canopy bow with a tab in the middle. Also the rectangular door aft of the Indian rondel.
The rondel on the wreckage is a little further aft than this example, but there is a considerable amount of variation in the paint schemes of Indian military aircraft.
