J-21

Anybody know why the article is named as J-21 when most sources call it the J-1 ? Should this be explained in the article? MilborneOne (talk) 14:39, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Article name

I have to admit, this is the first time I hear someone mention this aircraft as "J-1 Jastreb". Before I edit the article and return its full name I would like to mention and comment on some of the sources:

• Museum of the Yugoslav Air Force, the only institution of this kind in the former SFRY has a collection of aircraft of this type, listing it as J-21.
• The book Jugoslavensko ratno vazduhoplovstvo [Yugoslav Air Force] by historian Bojan Dimitrijević is so far the only book that deals with the history of the YuAF. It actually has four J-21s pictured on its cover, and not once, does it call the aircraft "J-1". I recommend reading pages 207 to 210 that deal with the developing attack aviation in the YuAF, including the J-21.
• acig.info uses J-21 in every report that mentiones the aircraft:

...there nine aircraft, including one each SOKO G-2 Galeb, G-4 Super Galeb, and J-21 Jastreb

— MiGs Over Croatia

Included in the French-Serbian contract for supply of weapons and "contract personnel" on behalf of Mobutu, from 1996, were also three SOKO J-21 Jastreb and one SOKO NJ-21 Jasterb two seater light strike aircraft

— Zaire/DR Congo 1980 - 2001 , Zaire/DR Congo 1980 - 2001

• ejection-history.org.uk which lists aircraft losses of the FR Yugoslav Air Force uses J-21.

The only source that actually mentiones J-1 is vojska.net Considering every publication, article, operators manual and news report on the countries that formed after the breakup of Yugoslavia unanimously call this aircraft J-21, I can only assume that this is a mistake. Another proof for this is that the link itself says J-21 (http://www.vojska.net/eng/armed-forces/equipment/aircraft/soko/j-21/) but for some reason, the article continues with "J-1".--Saxum (talk) 18:12, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
