Anything can drop bombs in a permissive environment with nearly zero effective enemy AAA or SAM threat. The 21 is rugged and easy to maintain with a high mission-capable rate so why not put them to work? Jet fighters aren't very good for CAS and ancient ones don't do it precisely but any CAS is better than none! While modern SAM threats in nation-state war (and jet jockey hatred of CAS missions) mean most modern low and slow precise affordable CAS is from helicopters, Russia could build a modern turboprop "Stormovik" to kill helicopters and ground targets more effectively and with less risk than using helos.

Serbian mig 29 were shot down by americans before they could fire any weapons. If the mig 29 has a terrible radar and worthless weapons, then what should we say about the mig 21?

Thank you for correctly identifying the "rebels" as the bad guys.

Good luck to the Syrian military and Assad. I hope they kill all the rebels douche bag Obama wants to arm.

Indian air force has got around 250 of those mig21s, all of them were upgraded to bison variant. They are now decommissioning these jets. These mig21s served well in 1971 indo pak war.

Son of a bitch, Bashar-el-Assad uses planes to bomb its own people and an old plane do the job as well as a newer one. Besides, his criminalized regime has no money to purchase modern weapons.
-
The brutal and barbaric regime of Bashar-el-Assad has no money to replace them and his master Russia is not ready to supply free of cost as they used to do during communist dictatorship.

Dude,Indian Air Force use 671+ Mig-21's as well,though they are heavily upgraded variants.
However it still shows the Mig-21 was a gr8 invention. -

In 1967, Syrian Arms still included the Panzer IV from the German Wermarcht built from 1939 to 1945.

Best wishes for Siria and his people.

I have a boner for Russian aircraft because they are built to be tough and to serve a purpose. That being said, they are beautiful to me. Simply photogenic in looks and have fantastic sound. Unlike other aircraft the flaws give them more ...character? I dont kno i love to watch them.

The Syrian pilot is too embarrassed so he keeps his visor down ..I don't blame you

Who cares what equipment they're using? As long as it pacifies homicidal religious zealots, it's all good.
