The next camouflage scheme employed is illustrated on this aircraft of No.24 Squadron. The colors indicate that the role of the aircraft was that of ground
attack and close air support. No.24 Squadron has recently converted to the Su-30. In 1971, this unit took part in the Indo-Pakistan War, flying Folland Gnats.
It was also in this war that the IAF used helicopters for the first time to airlift troops, and No.24 Squadron was the first squadron to be employed in cover
operations for those airlifts.
MiG-21BIS, C2316, No. 24 Squadron „Hawks“, 90´s
