Looks like I'm going blind or there is some Fitters in there too.
In that still it looks like a swept wing, not Delta, and the horizontal stabilizers look a little like they're angled downward.

too bad they didn't have gopros back then :). it's hard to tell, it's really blurry, the nose looks more like a mig 23.

Possible. I had to go and check but I would've sworn up and down a minute ago that the Mig-23 was twin-engined.

some of them are launching with SRBs. the goal was to get 72 jets into air within 5 minutes (impractical but very impressive). crazy stuff
edit: starting off in opposite directions with seconds of difference... fucking crazy
I came here to say that. Launching the 21s one way and the 23s the other way, on the same runway, at almost the same time. They're crazy !
man if I ever saw 72 blips on radar at once..
They'd probably think it was some form of electronic warfare.
