• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Crash North Korean Mig in China

Looking at the antenna on top, the deltawing and the small air intake below the fin I'd say it's a MiG-21UM; the tail looks a bit odd, but it appears parts have been ripped off.
 
From the one picture on the CNN page, I see no evidence of fire at the crash site - supporting a supposition that the plane may have run out of fuel, regardless of the intentions of the pilot.

:running:
 
It is a MiG21 by the shape of its fuselage, spine, tail and wings... the tail appears to be damaged from the crash. It appears like it crash landed, pancaking on a field and colliding with stuff as it went.
