An Introduction to MiG-21 Part-1

 An Introduction to MiG-21 Part-1

Hello to all the SSBCrack  readers! SSBCrack editorial team brings you a special report on MiG-21 as a tribute to Squadron leader Bansi, and his co-Pilot, who we lost last week in a MiG-21 Accident in J&K. And not only him, it’s a tribute to all those brave pilots, officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives to save others! A tribute to all those who didn’t eject out and stayed till last second in their aircraft so that they can take it away from densely populated areas and can save thousands of lives! Here’s our first part where we are going to introduce you with MiG 21!

Mikoyan Gurevich 21 is first supersonic fighter jet which Indian bought from Soviet Union in 1963. In past 60 years this second generation fighter air craft has played its role well! Talking about the operational history, it was back bone of Indian Air force in 1971 Indo Pak war as well as Kargil war! When India took action against Bangladesh, Pakistan intruded up to Ambala and then, it was MiG-21 only, which without warning, without being seen or detected, at a very low level, dropped bombs on their runways, destroying them, weakening them and eventually making them surrender. In Kargil war too, it framed a mighty picture to not only Pak but also to other neighboring Countries!

 An Introduction to MiG-21 Part-1
No fighter pilot of Indian Air force goes without being trained on MiG-21. It is one of the most widely used air craft of India. It is not only affordable, but also the maintenance is said to be cheaper comparatively to other air crafts, though not easy! 
MiG-21 has been technically upgraded to MiG-21 Bison. It can evade radar. It is capable of ground attack as well as air defense. It comes with a special helmet, which enables the pilot to see wider without moving head. It also comes with technique where whichever direction the pilot’s head will see, the radar and missiles will see the same direction. MiG-21 Radar can auto lock even the heavy objects from a large distance without the person/pilot even being known! It’s interesting to know that MiG’s constitute over 75% of IAF’s combat fleet! 
Here was an introduction to MiG-21 and how it has been a helping hand to IAF and country’s security!  Especially in the history, when we and even our neighboring countries had no other air craft equal to this! Our next part on MiG-21 will come soon, “MiG-21- The flying coffin.”

In addition to regular physical exercise, the cadets at the IMA also undergo rigorous obstacle course training, which includes activities such as rope climbing, wall scaling, and monkey crawling. The obstacle course training helps develop mental and physical toughness and prepares the cadets for the challenges of combat situations.

Overall, the physical exercise routine at the IMA is designed to push cadets to their limits and prepare them for the demands of military life. If you’re aspiring to join the Indian Armed Forces, it’s important to start working on your physical fitness early and build a strong foundation that will help you succeed in your training.

If you are waiting for your IMA joining letter or preparing for a SSB interview, you could start with these exercises to keep yourself fit and tough.

Indian Military Academy Physical Exercise Routine

The focus with these exercises is not on boosting size, but on making you stronger and more agile, says Sub Maj BB Thapa, a physical training instructor at the IMA. Follow this routine twice a week (say on Tuesday and Friday). Between each move, try to rest for not more than 60 seconds and not more than three minutes between the two parts. Repeat this circuit two times.

Part 1 

  1. Warm-up (brisk walk for five minutes, breaking into a short sprint, for a total of 100m)
  2. Stretching (stand with your feet together and try to touch your toes, but don’t stress your back)
  3. Chin ups (as many as you can in one minute)
  4. Full sit ups (the maximum reps you can do in one minute)
  5. Push ups (at least 14 but as many as you can in one minute)
  6. Short sprint (about 100m)
  7. Chest-touches (as many as you can do in one minute)
  8. Toe touches (grab an overhead bar with arms a little more that shoulder width apart. Keeping your feet together, pull your legs up to your chest and then rotate your body and try to touch the bar with your toes. Keep your head is in line with your shoulders throughout the move)
  9. Stretching (stand with your feet together, clasp your hands together, raise them as high as you can and then rise on your toes. Hold for a count of 10)
  10. Brisk walk (about 100m)

Part 2

  1. Forward rolls (Use a gym mat to perform as many as you can in one minute)
  2. Squats without any weight (as may as you can in one minute)
  3. Back rolls (this is tricky, so instead do this: Lie on your stomach, feet together and arms bent alongside your chest. Rise up as you straighten your arms-.your torso should be at a 45-degree angle to the floor.)
  4. Stair climbing (do this for two minutes and use the balls of your feet to rise and step)
  5. Cool-down (do a full-body stretch and hold for a count of 10)

Being a civilian, this looks like a whole movie to you, but for gentlemen cadets at the academy, this is just a trailer, they do lot more tough exercises throughout their training. So buckle up and start from today.
