The LanceRs are modernized MiG-21s that were given new avionics for all-weather operations, more modern avionics and the ability to employ PGMs (Precision Guided Munitions).
The MiG-21 LanceR (Lance for weapon and R for Romania) upgrade program was designed to increase of the combat capability and eventually NATO interoperability (Romania became a member of NATO on April 1, 2004), through the installation of an advanced avionics package. The upgrade was to be compatible with the packages installed on 5th generation combat aircraft. Improvements to the aircraft included an improved pilot-vehicle interface (PVI) in the cockpit redesign, enhanced warning systems and the ability to operate at night and during adverse weather conditions. The upgrade enabled the use of both Western and Eastern weapons, together with an increase of the survivability within a hostile environment during air combat with the installation of a new self protection system.
Three variants of LanceR went into service; the LanceR-A which was a single seat fighter-bomber for Close Air Support, the LanceR-B a two seat trainer and the LanceR-C which was a single-seat interceptor for Air Defence. The first LanceR squadron was formed at Bacau on May 8, 1997.
The first prototype MiG-21 LanceR-A (9809) was flown on August 22, 1995, followed by the LanceR-B (327) on May 6, 1996. The LanceR-C prototype (6607) first flew on November 6, 1996.
The LanceR fleet is now the backbone of the RoAF, performing air defence, close air support and training roles. The aircraft is unusual in now being able to carry both Eastern and Western armament. The LanceR was cleared for missiles such as the R60, R73 and Python 3 IR air-to-air missiles, 250lb and 500lb bombs, laser guided bombs (LGB), targeting and ECM. Some of the Lancer-As were also equipped with Rafael Litening targeting pods or Elbit/Aerostar Airborne Reconnaissance Pods. The LanceR's have now participated successfully in many NATO exercises. The upgraded aircraft have demonstrated greatly improved readiness levels, over their previous status, and comparable to other NATO members.
A total of 110 MiG-21s were modernized under the LanceR designation. Today, 36 Lancers are operational for the RoAF.
Näytöksessä lensi kaksi Romanian Ilmavoimien MiG-21 konetta. Romanian Ilmavoimien MiG-21 koneita kutsutaan nimellä Lancer. Koneissa on täysin uusi länsimainen hävittäjätutka sekä elektroniikka ja varustukseltaan ne vastaavat nykyisiä länsimaisia hävittäjiä. Romania päätti modifioida omat MiG-21 koneensa länsimaiseksi. Ensimmäinen modifioitu kone lensi 1996 ja kaikkiaan 114 konetta modifioitiin. Suomessa viimeinen MiG-21-lento tapahtui 7.3.1998 kun kapteeni Yrjö Rantamäki lensi viimeisen MiG-21 lennon Rissalassa. Tämän jälkeen ei tätä ikonista itärautaa ole Suomessa nähty. MiG-21 koneita käyttää laajassa mittakaavassa Euroopassa vain Romanian Ilmavoimat.
