Why There's a ?New? American Fighter Called the F-21 - F-21 India 2.png ...
Well the last fighter in the standard numerical serie was the Northrop
F-20 (ex F-5G) who disappear when the sale of F-16 was allowed so
renaming the F-16 as F-21 is rather humorous. If I remember well the
F-21 designation was used for the IAI Kfir (no more in service).
The name F-21 is a PR move; makes it look like a brand new plane just
for India.
