Wikipedia says they made 11,496 mig-21.
Can 195 F-22 defeat 11,496 mig-21???
No it can't!
If russia made 11,496 MIG-21 drones, they could easily conquer the world.
Why won't russia mass produce MIG-21 drones?

kill yourself, ween.

They'd still need 11,496 pilots to operate the aircraft, which they can't afford. They also can't afford that many MiG-21s to begin with.
Brody Butler
Precision strikes and ground assets providing intelligence make drones efficient.
Russia lacks both.
And for air to air combat, probably Russians would be shooting down their own planes more than we shoot them down.
Asher Sanchez
Yeah but 900 F-16s and 500 F-18s could.
Jason Taylor
They still wouldn't have the cash for those 11,496 turd mobiles.

Airframes age rapidly need constant maintenance and die. None of these are airworthy at this point or very few
Parker Morris
I'm willing to bet that they don't even know where all of them are.

The MiG-21 burns a lot of fuel and has short legs. It's also way bigger than a regular drone, meaning it gets picked up easier on sensors. And the airframes still in inventory are all beat to shit.
Unless you want to build suicide drones (the idea was floated around in the '90s, IIRC), you can't really do what you're thinking of.
Ryder Watson
This. Pilots are crazy expensive to train and maintain.

The lack of digital fly by wire system.

outsource it to a chinese mmo

Jose Taylor
Why stop there? With modern technology they could pump out like 50,000 Yak-3s
Ryder Collins
"Suicide drones" are just missiles, and if you have to ghetto rig missiles, you're probably not in a position to really need missiles.
Blake Fisher
You're almost there, really we need BF109 drones
Noah James
Why don't you go back to making glider post, glider-fag

We can take this further, the Russians can probasbly build 100s of thousands, if not millions of Sikorsky Ilya Muromets bombers

Realistically there are probably a dozen different reasons that they'd never leave the runway, including Russias ability to actually keep that many aircraft operational.

There are 120,000 Canada geese, why doesn't Canada train them to carry bombs?
They have an extremely long range and could be useful strategic assets.

In a civil war situation, you might have captured an airfield containing a large number of functional airframes but lack the pilots needed to fly them. In order to prevent them falling into your enemy's hands in case you have to eventually vacate the area, you rig them up and send them into the other guys.
Thomas Mitchell
they can build millions of Po-2s
Easton Price
If you lack the capacity to field pilots where the fuck are you getting your ability to niggerrig 70 year old airframes into drones from?
Levi Mitchell
I have no idea how Polikarpov managed to survive the Red Terror without fleeing the country like Sikorsky did.
Christopher Ward
The fact the Mig would'nt need the lifesupport function would be a big bonus to it.
The need for pilots could be mitigated by having them function in swarms controlled by a single pilot. The planes could just be made to stay x-metes apart from each other at all times so they wont kill each other.
It's a good point to explore as I think the stealth meme is going to die out soon and as drones come more and more into the fray it's inevitable that overwhelming the enemy will come more and more a tactic.
retro drone Mig swarms must be cheaper than an equal number of tomahawks
Daniel Lee
Based vatnik Russia Today drone.
Asher Taylor
Where the fuck would they get the money for that, and why would they not use that money building better planes instead?
Ian Powell
Drone, pilot????
Drones are controlled by computer AI dumbass.

Logistics.
Those MIG-21s would still need maintenance, spare parts, testing, fuel, ordnance, hangars, etc.
All that greatly decreases the number that can be fielded.
