MiG-21R of the 294.ORAP with a type "D" daylight reconnaissance pod. One can distinguish a camera hatch behind the nose tip for two A-39 cameras and then the two rectangular windows of the AShchAFA-5M camera. Another camera hatch for two A-39 cameras can be seen under the rear part of the pod, shifted to the left. There was a second hatch on the right side further to the rear. Two KDS-19 cassettes were located under the rear-end.
The picture was taken on March 14, 1968, using a Soviet 1000 mm mirror lens. The snow covered ground provided good lighting to the underside of the aircraft.
