Its possible to convert MiG-21 into a combat drone. Chinese have done this quite frequently. They call it J-7 Drone which they have used in target practice, live fire exercise and many more. Chengdu J-7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. So its quite possible and it would not be a bad idea for IAF to convert some of them for technology learning for future UCAVs.A little old news..but can anyone tell if this is true?

A MiG-21 combat aircraft flown by a Syrian pilot who defected was found to have been upgraded back in Syria to carry chemical weapons.

If it is true, then we can use the Kaveri...seriously that engine needs to get up in the air..
