MiG-21bis-K (L-17K) serial number 17407 was assigned to 128th Fighter Aviation Squadron of 204th Fighter Aviation Regiment at Batajnica AB, from its delivery to Yugoslavia in 1983 until 1990. It was then with 125th Squadron of 117th Fighter Aviation Regiment at Bihać AB from 1990 until 1992. The last years of its service were with 124th Squadron of 83rd Aviation Brigade (later Fighter Aviation Regiment) at Ponikve AB. It survived the Kosovo War of 1999 while undergoing overhaul at the Moma Stanojlović Works at Batajnica AB. In 2004, an indigenous reconnaissance pod was tested on this aircraft, but this never entered operational service. Instead, this MiG-21bis-K was one of the last to be used operationally by the Serbian Air Force up until autumn 2015. The aircraft is shown wearing the usual ‘air superiority grey’ overall and is armed with British-made Hunting BL.755 CBUs, as deployed during the wars in Slovenia and Croatia during 1991-1992.
