These drawings illustrate the novel semi-encapsulated escape system used by all Fishbed fighters prior to the Fishbed-F, to protect the pilot from blast effects until the seat has slowed down under the action of a drogue chute.

The MiG-21 delta-wing fighter code-named “Fishbed”, armed with “Atoll” missiles

The MiG-21F was evolved from the Ye-6T and was the first version of the tailed delta fighter to be built in large numbers.

Another addition to the Soviet Air Force is the "Fishbed B", a delta-wing supersonic interceptor, believed to be capable of speeds approaching Mach 2. Details of dimensions, weights, etc., are not available.
