Yep, because India demanded Israeli munitions (which are NATO compatible) be interoperable with the MiG-21 and other Russian/Soviet jets India had in the 1990s. India was the 2nd largest MiG-21 operator in it's heyday and the only one that also operated NATO compatible munitions. |

Elbit also did retrofitting for Romania, although they operated a relatively small MiG-21 fleet (25..36) which are now decomissioned and replaced by F-16s. The MiG 31 LanceR could use use both NATO and Russian/Soviet armament such as the R-60M, R-73, Magic 2, or Python III missiles.
