In this urbex episode we visit Cold War relics in Hungary.
We go back to a field of abandoned jet fighters which we already have been in 2012. But this time we have bad luck.

some of the planes engines i think are cast with cement and or stripped out so its only the fuselage itself and they are reserved for round abouts etc like this one @46.9044933,19.7483152,18z and there is a mi 24 one but its not on google maps yet
Please give this scrap to Pakistan. They can sell and buy some food. They are literally begging for food. Their condition is worse than somalia
Those aircrafts are not just MiG 21s, but also Su22s swing-wing strike aircraft also produced during Soviet times.
OĂŽiip
Uploader......there is a place in Czech with lots of old Soviet aircraft if you guys are interested....unless you already know it's location? I passed it some years ago but was on a major road and couldn't get an exit off. I only know the approx location from memory.
I love seeing wild jets in their natural habitats.
đ
I wonder when they feed?
đđđ
in vietnam maybe
That is anything but their natural habitat.
It was nice to see that you came to check all these fighters. They are hidden quite well. I live 10 kms away from the planes but it took 19 years to check them personaly! :D
Can i find the location of these aircraft?
@@sakinolplanaguven3834 unfortunately the planes were transported to somewhere else since.
The sheer number of abandoned military stuff you find is my favorite part of your channel!
Thanks, there are a some great episodes! (Not this one)đ đ€·ââïž
For a man who love those beautiful pieces of art and engineering, this is so sad đą
Yes bro
You came all the way to the jets and didn't record the cockpit !!! That's disappointing
yeah we really did not see much at all.
Bad reporting
yeap, totally fucking useless
That is exactly what I was thinking..đ€Šââïžđ€Šââïžđ€·ââïžđ€·ââïž
Didn't he ask and the other guy said there was nothing in there, they were scrapped for parts
Even as a British citizen I strongly feel these once feared War Birds deserve to be treated with more respect than they currently are. The MiG 21 was once a class leading interceptor/ fighter across many war zones against NATO forces, they do not deserve to be left to sink into a muddy field and left to rot. Their true natural Habitat is at about 20,000 ft at about Mach 1.5. A horse that served it's master well, would be put out to pasture and cared for well by the veterinarian Dr until the end of it's natural days. The same should apply to these Jets kept flying for as long as humanly possible, then put in a warm dry shed for people to admire.
the thing about the mig 21 is, there are a fuckton of them, these 35 sitting around doesn't really take away from the preservation of this generation of aviation as there are so many mig 21's.
1) WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR IT? You, me? Do you realize there are only so many dollars to go around?
The reason why jets rot in fields is because there's no money to properly dispose of them!
The reason why many things DOn'T get junked right away is that the value of scrap value is not particularly high at times. At other times because of politics AND national security concerns, they WILL scrap planes quickly. That's been done to strategic bombers to satisfy treaties AND to fighters to keep valuable spare parts out of the hands of enemies.
The countries that bought these planes are generally Third World and disposing of decommissioned planes is the least of their worries! They have problems feeding their population half the time and paying the regular military to prop the authoritarian government in place.
Heck, there are plenty of airfields AND junkyards in the US, the UK, and other places overflowing with machines that SHOULD have been scrapped decades ago if they're not going to do anything with them anymore. These are obsolete planes that will NEVER defend the skies again OR go off to distant conflict and they've just corroded to the point it's NOT economical to restore them for flight let alone display them.
2) There were over 10,000 MiG-21 manufactured over 40 years! You honestly think there aren't a ton of them in museums already?!?
In your country AND mine, we have TONS Of air museums preserving all kinds of flying machines and things like F-86s, MiGs (15-21), F-4s, Canberras, P-51s, Spitfires, etc., etc. ARE already well-represented! They really don't need to preserve MORE airframes of those types because there's already a TON of backlog of far rarer planes waiting to be restored let alone worrying about what's rusting on a field in another country halfway around the world!
transform swords(mig21) into plowshares! In the garden of the U.N in New York there is a statue given by the former Sovjets!!!too the U.N. witch represent this. Can you believe it?
India is using the upgraded mig 21 bison.
Fyi Matt, Indians are still riding the legendary war horse, and just a couple of days ago intercepted and shot down another legendary bird, F16.

Ahhh... you found these. YES! They are real! This is the death row of the Hungarian Air Force. These are stored aircrafts waiting for dismantling. The planes are collected together on a field next to a reserve runway of an ex AFB. First I was wondering how you got there so easily because though this AFB is not in active service anymore but still in "reserve" status. It means it is not completely abandoned (deserted) and some parts of it still used occasionally by the Hungarian Air Force. Then a friend told me about this AFB. When it was closed it is lost about 50% of its original area. Part of it still active, and guarded by the military, but a significant part of the old AFB is completely forgotten. Theoretically, this area and the planes are under security surveillance as well and the planes are under dismantling. Practically as I heard no one cares about them for about 20 years. These planes are got their death penalty and waiting for their fate. In yr 2008 there were more than 60 of them there. Now there are less than 30. They are far from their original glory. Before arrived here, all machine guns were removed, just like the jet engines. In many cases, they have not removed the engine, only filled it with concrete. Some planes were bought by foundations and museums but these days most of them are ransacked by collectors or their suppliers. Internet is full of spare parts of old MIG planes. Clock, black box, radar, etc. Some of them are "collected" from this field.
Concrete poured into the engines! I hadn't heard of that before. Over here in the US all of the engines are removed, if they are turbine. Piston engines are usually left in the abandoned aircraft.
@@kennethm.pricejr.8921 Well.. these planes are representing obsolete technology those are min 50 yrs old. Nobody needs those parts anymore... or if some country would need them... they are on a ban list for sure.
The nearby airbase is still active, that is one of the most important airfields in Hungary, the other is located in Kecskemét. These dumped fighters were removed in the last few months, they have sold them to various places, some of them scrapped.
@@pauka13 Oh really? I am just in Budapest now and was planning to go and have a look at the ones that are left. So there is nothing left on that field where they are seen in the video?

Wish I found this channel alot sooner never the less I'm glad I did awesome stuff đ
Thanks, you won't regret ! This is by far one of the shittiest episodes.. Check out our top 10 most dangerous adventures :) Also december 1st a really cool episode is coming up.
The muddy road scene---superb!
Itâs the landing strip
Nice explore, loved it.
India, vietnam, Croatia, syria, north korea and few other countries still use the legendaries MIG-21 and SU-22 to this date. My favourite Jets of all time. Lovely video. Thanks guys!đ
So many soviet era MiG 21 fighters. Love those MiG fighters. Unfortunately it's abandoned in a field.
@@toddmoore112 IMRAN become a gadha sellerđđ
We have may more of them rhan what they show in the video here.Hungary has 251 of them in reserve,they are still repairable
I donât care what country they are from, these warbirds deserve better! Iâm a former active duty Marine Corps fighter pilot that flew F4 Phantoms in Vietnam in the 60âs.
And also chased these planes in those times?
Thank You For Your Service.
woww man i would love to go there. if i have lived there when i was a child, I would have been the happiest in the world
woow dit is echt gaaf man al die straaljagers zeker een dik duimpje omhoog!
Thanks ! Heb nog een vetter veld met vliegtuigen gedaan, maar daar hebben we iemand verrast en daar zijn we in de problemen gekomen :')
Ja ja mein got firenze scuderia fuck you nino
I love the mig 21 fishbed! really his a very nice aircraft! Beautiful!
Amazing find. Beautiful aircraft.
Excellent jets of their time around 1960~80s.
dat is heel wat mooier dan die honderden legervoertuigen die wij vonden ! geweldige video mannen ! RESPECT
Thanks, ga zo eens kijken :D
Ja ja ich bin flughafen burger mcface
Lekker ff reclame voor jezelf gemaakt man
Watching from Louisiana, USA. Love it.
Great video thx guys very interesting do more of this
Beautiful fighters, if I had the $$$ Iâd buy one in a heartbeat.
Funny how times change. Forty years ago you would have been shot for approaching those aircraft.
1992 a Russian pilot would have sold you his plane.
Here from the news ;)Amazing vids
Some nice shots of world aviation history. Shame you got caught. Nice video guys.
86k subs wtf you deserve way more than that
275k better?
@@AmericanBadger87 yep way better now
At 5:28 the part he is moving is the afterburner nozzle. The actual afterburner is a bit deeper inside the engine.
The nozzle fully opens when the Afterburner is used. Contrary to what many people believe a turbojet engine does not produce high pressured air but high-speed air. The nozzle is used to increase the velocity of the exhaust air.
Very Cool!!
That is great collection of MIG 21 Fishbed aircraft, a classic aircraft.
Mig 21 Fishbed were deadly in their time.
They were the Tie Fighter of star wars, many destroyed but went down as warriors.
old migs are so gorgeous. Makes me sad whenever I see videos of them in boneyards
Excellent boys
this channel deserves a million subscribers
My grandma if from Hungary. So my interest already gets a biased +50. pretty awesome stuff guys. Got a subb out of me
Thanks, you won't regret
Sad! They were great in their day đ
I found you doing research on MiG21. You get a like and a subscriber. Nice job, Keep up the good work.
So cool looks like they could be put back into use if needed
Holy damm a whole field filled with jets!
Pretty cool yeah ! I've been to a cooler one :O
Anthony clauws [Urban exploration] i
fassenkugel these are Russian hand me downs.
Everyone wants the new NATO line of jets.
But they can only afford pitons junk fighters.
That's good for NATO.
One F-35 can take out all or most of this wreak if it were airborne.
This is what we Americans want to see coming up after us ,after we blow the Shit out of Putins lies.
Time someone assassinated that piece of SHIT.
1vs1 the F-35 would win 99% of the time, but 30vs1 the F-35 doesn't carry enough missiles or ammo to shoot them all down, and once there is visual contact the F-35 wouldn't survive 30 Mig 21s.
Paul Anka mig 21s are faster than f35s lol
Oh my god Iâd buy one of these in a heartbeat. I mean, Iâve got nowhere to put the damn thing, but just to save one from there...
Love this
Excellent thank you....the music was extremely close to Riverdance ' The Finale ' đ
So cool I love military history
Thanks ! Saw the bunker episodes aswell ?
Ya it was so cool
Someone must cut the grass there in summer? Seems short for no activity.
They are all Soviet era Mig 21's
yeahhh....and su 22..
Sad end to these Hungarian Fishbeds. One was featured in a Verlinden Lock-on book by Zoltan Buza, edited by Willy Peeters. They used to be based at Kecskemet with the 1st Puma Squadron.
I like it!
Good video guys
For abandon equipment they seem ready to take off at moments notice xD
What bothers me is that you guys have a great channel that deserves more subscribers. Why is that?
The subscribers will come :) ! It's a difficult time to grow a channel, wish I started earlier.
So, you need to explore a time travel facility :D

5:38 "ttadadamdaFIRE" hahaha :D
Good stuff.
Why would you hide, if your car is still parked there...
Just to have those extra few minutes on the field. They drove around to see if they could see us.
That does make sense, probably would do the same. these planes are amazing :P

In California you can see primarily airliners at Mojave and Victorville. If you want to see military types, you need to go to Arizona, Tucson/Davis Monthan AFB.

Helen Hollywood Explores i love girls like u đ
Perfect location for game shooting !! đ
Wow u people are awesome đđ
Look closer, there are Mig 21 and SU 22, not just Mig 21
Fishbeds are still very much in active duty in India, most are upgrades to the Bison standard. Sadly not for long though. Most beautiful fighters IMO.
I need one in my backyard! đđ»
Super video dont be disappointed
In India, we still have some 300 mig 21 on job in airforce... Accompanied by mig 27, 29 su30 Mki, jaguar, harrier, raffale, mirage....
Mig 21 is an ultimate machine...
The Su-22s were overhauled half a year before they were withdrawn from service... what a waste. Also, PĂĄpa AFB (btw, PĂĄpa is Hungarian for Pope) is now a base for the NATO Heavy Airlift Wing with 3 C-17 aircraft, and a Hungarian SAR helicopter is also stationed there.
Those SU-22 were good fighters ...The Peruvian Air Force has them in reserve until now.
Handful Gripens can do far better ;)
Nice bro
Impressive lot of old fighters.
They are not birds ! they're flying tanks !!! If you love them and care them .. they'll yield you results !
Indian Airforce Mig 21 Bison shot a Pakistani F16 in a dog fight !
proof? any western news outlet confirming this? nope. just fake news leader india. but we do have proof that a JF17 shot down ur mig 21.
Yeah then Lockheed Martin insult indiots for proof but indians failed again.to.give any proof

Pakistan ne apne pilot ka rape kar diya......jahilllll log
Those aircraft were flown there and landed on that paved strip then pulled off onto the grass with tractors. I did not see concrete in the one they examined so it could still fly again with a little maintenance. Soviet doctrine is to never throw away anything, but set it aside so it can be used again.
They know that in a time things are not going well they still have so old reliables laying around. ..
This is classic and beautiful jets.
Beautiful videp
MiG 21, the aircraft that was full of innovation. First airplane with bubble cockpit, reliable, capable flying at twice of sound and also cheap due the mass production the price was cheaper than russian combat ground vehicle BMP 1.
Unfortunately lack of combat range, had only 3 hours of flight duration. Indonesia had MiG 21 and flight from Jakarta to Medan (normally 2 hours flight with B737 nowadays), the pilot told that he had only 3 gallons of fuel remaining before successfully landed in Medan
Bramantio S "first with bubble cockpit"?
Maybe in Indian or Pakistani AF, although I doubt even that - they must have had either late-model Spitfires, or P-51 Mustangs, even before getting jets. And at that point, the F-86 Sabre was all over the place, as was the MiG-15 - although the MiG didn't have a true bubble, then or in the -21.
But the -21 IS supersonic, although I'm not sure about that Mach 2 claim. Reliability depends on maintenance, whether you're talking MiG-21 or F-16. Or ANY jet aircraft. The MiG may well be the easiest to maintain.
I question the price vs. a BMP-1; USSR was practically giving those away.
The range limit was deliberate; Politburo didn't want defectors, and didn't trust ANYONE to come home if they could leave. Besides, less fuel is more payload.
First bubble cockpit? You haven't seen Spitfire & Thunderbolt then
As with case of Indonesia (my country too).. Indonesia bought MiG-21 and other Soviet bloc weapons.. with debt. That was during the hyperinflation/economic crisis of the country in 1960s.
Mig21 may be your old war horse but in the hands of capable Indian airwarriors like Wing Commander Abhinandhan it can still intercept and shoot down F16, as it happened just last week.
No proof of that yet.
@@markgill7284 Since when anyone accepted the loss of their F16?đ
@@Braveheartwriter India didn't accept the loss og MIG 21 at least 6 hours until PAK showed Abinandhan on TV and burning MIG21. Today if you claim something you have to prove it. PAK claimed that they shot down one SU30 as well but they don't have any proof of that. Now they are talking about that they have arrested one Israeli pilot as well but we don't have any proof of that. That's why we don't believe it. F16 shot down by a MIG21 is not confirmed.
@@markgill7284 Okay, you can accept the loss of your F16 when you get the proof. No hurries!

Park here whe gonna take the plane mooie video alweer ga zo door toppie
very nice video
It sad to see this awesome piece of engineering marvels left to rot and rust. But maybe if they could send it to an aviation schools where aspiring airmen/engineers/mechanics/avionics students could study and practice and hone their skills when it comes to the world of aviation. I know that the technology of these AC might be an obsolete for their(students) advancement of knowledge. But this things of the past might help them in the future.
Who own this planes?
Do you think this planes cost more than 20 grand each?
I'm willing to buy one of this just park in front of my yard.
Same here! Would be awesome to get it in live condition and taxi....
Clarkson, is that you?
They would take 2,000 not 20
zzzzzsleeping Good Idea. U might get to sell at triple the price for a 50s legend!
I would love to have one! I would want to make it operational again and just fly it around showing it at the air shows!!!!
thankyou for sharing this awesome footage
I would gladly take one of those beauties to my backyardđ
As a reconnaissance member of the UN in 1992, I arrived at Zagreb airport (then still Yugoslavia) as the Yugoslavian Air Force where leaving the military part of the airport. They had parked all the remaining MIGS on the perimeter track and booby trapped most of them. They had also trashed the barracks - broke all the water pipes and shit everywhere. We eventually cleared the booby traps and a UN helicopter pilot got a Mig 19 started and taxied it around.
Wow, that's crazy ! Are you talking about the Zeljeva Air Base?
Exploring the Unbeaten Path Pleso. At the time Zagreb airport was (like many) spilt into both military and civilian use.
Zijn jullie van plan om eens naar Zeljava te gaan? Ik ga aankomende zomer naar Kroatië, ik ben ook van plan om daar eens te gaan kijken.
Fascinating find!Looks like they are cannibalising them for Spares,both types still operational in Middle East and a few in Europe.Of the âOld Schoolâ Ex Soviet types âFishbedâ MiG 21 and Fitter Su 22 were Very popular back in the day! I should think that there is still a few dollars worth of interesting âbits and piecesâ there!Were the Cockpits Stripped on all of them?
but indian airforce still does use mig 21.. and they took down f-16 ...in recent battle between india and pakistan..
Yes Pakistanis defence is a bunch of donkeys. They got PNS ghazi and F16,see what happened. Even with squadrons of F16 they could not even detect IAF jet which reached some 60 km from LOC , the balakot . It's always up-to men in uniform who wins the war not the modernized weapons.
