Hey everyone

I was watching a youtube video and seen this, the author put Mig-21 but as I know Mig-21 have other wings, and I dont remember which aircraft is this one, anyone know?
And how that wing's wheels will release down between these missiles? Is this just a photoshop rework?

 
Hani,

What look like wheels are actually the roundels. The wheels retract into the fuselage.:encouragement:
 
The MiG-21 (and it's J-7/F-7 derivatives) landing gear is inward-retracting, not outward, as jmbiii correctly points out.

Here's some good shots of a whole bunch of MiG-21s, which show the landing gear in various stages of deployment and from many angles.

cheers,

The later J-7 variants are not the final evolution of the basic MiG-21 design.

I'd learn mandarin for a flightsim rendition of that one.
