Mig 21 demonstrator at IAI - served as an engineering tool and as a demonstrator for visitors to IAI. Note the new canopy.

Was the single piece windscreen an Israeli or Soviet/Russian development?

I think there was also a fair amount of commonality/ overlap with Romania’s Lancer upgrade program (Israeli firms were Romania’s partners on that).
