Mig-21's were introduced in 1959
A North Korean Mig-21 fighter jet has crashed while on a reconnaisance mission during the recent rocket launch, according to news sources.
Apparently the Mig-21 went down in the ocean just off the north east of North Korea. The cause, according to a North Korean official, was engine failure. There’s no information available that suggests the fate of the pilots.
The South Korean Defence Ministry said that two fighter jets crashed during training in February/March.
The North Korean airforce is majorly outdated and is made up of mostly cold war and even World War 2 aircraft. Intelligence reports suggest that North Korean pilots are not able to get as much time in the air to train as other countries, mostly because of fuel shortage.

I read a report somewhere of North Korean military seen drilling with WOODEN Kalishnikov rifles.
I suspect that the NK military might be falling apart, along with the economy.
Which would go a long way to explain the Dear Leader’s recent aggressive posture.
Its like a magicians trick. Get the audience to focus on your left hand so they don’t see
whats really happening in the right.
I’m sure the NK top brass must realize too that if another conventional war broke out the bullets would mostly be flying in one direction. Towards them.
NK doesnt seem to even have the logistical capacity to mobilize its army properly or
keep it supplied.
