MiG-21 hud

[nscode]

What was the first MiG-21 version to have a full blown HUD, and not just the targeting sight like we have in Su-25?

 

I've been told that 21bis does have a HUD, but I could never find an image of it.

Strictly speaking I think the first variant to have a HUD was MIG's own MiG-21-93 upgrade, for which the "93" would denote the year of introduction. IIRC the first Lancer variant(Romanian/Israeli upgrade) came a couple of years later(1995).

The Lancer might be the first MiG-21 variant with a HUD to enter service though. AFAIK India is the only operator of the MiG-21-93(Indian version called "Bison"), which IIRC entered service in ~ 1998.
