How US Phantoms beat the MIG-21

Video Description

During the Vietnam War, the skies over Southeast Asia became a fierce battleground for air superiority, with two iconic aircraft at the forefront: the MiG-21 and the F-4 Phantom II. The battles between these two aircraft types were not just about technology but also about pilot skill and tactics, making them some of the most memorable dogfights in aviation history. Christoph Bergs from Military Aviation History joins us at IWM Duxford to take a closer look at these two famous aircraft and explore which came out on top.
