The sleek, silver silhouette of the MiG-21 stands as a historical monument in Prague. This iconic fighter jet brings to mind the skies of the Cold War. But this particular MiG-21 has a unique story to tell, one that connects it closely with a pivotal time in Czech history. You see, this MiG-21 PFM was part of the Czechoslovakian Air Force from 1966 until 1991. The PFM is a variant that was particularly interesting. In addition to standard weaponry, it was capable of carrying nuclear weapons. It was a potent symbol of the Cold War tension that gripped Europe at the time.

The MiG-21 served its purpose, but today it serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of peace.
