    Default Potential MiG bearing North Korean markings crashes in Northeastern China

    Potential MiG bearing Korean People's Air force markings has crashed near the DPRK border in the Northeastern part of the PRC, killing the piliot. Some suspect that the pilot of the aircraft may have been trying to defect and somehow crashed trying to do so.

    That was definitely one of DPRKAF MiG-21PFMs: see the form of spin and fin for identification of variant.

    For comparisson, see attachment for what DPRKAF MiG-21PFMs look like intact.
