The MiG-21MF was widely used by Warsaw Pact countries, especially Poland, as well as in many Middle Eastern and Asian countries during the Cold War era (1970–1990). This aircraft took part, among others, in Middle Eastern conflicts and played a significant role in the protection of the airspace of socialist states. Poland operated the MiG-21MF in its air force from 1972 to the early 21st century, forming the backbone of its fighter fleet during East–West confrontations.
