Very nicely done Carmel and a very interesting article. Great photos. I think the Soviets should have continued the development of the e8. In the end I believe the e8 would have been a superior aircraft to the MIG-21.

I certainly agree with you Burt that the MiG-21 E8 could have emerged into a super Mig. Exact reason why project was shelved may never be known.A project shrouded in secrecy may give rise to speculations.
