I couldn't find info on what the MiG 21 cost to manufacture, but if you're interested in buying one, the San Diego Flight Museum in California has one for sale as I write this. They're asking $95,000 US.

What is the purpose of mig?
"Mig" is a term that refers to a Russian fighter and more specifically a jet-fighter made by the company Mikoyan-Gurevich. This term came into use by the US Air Force during Viet Nam War when referring to the Mig 17 or Mig 19 or Mig 21 fighter jets. So the Mig was a jet fighter used to attack bombers or other fighters. Does that answer your Question? Great answer I just have a little more that might help The exact purpose of a MiG would have to be determined by the model of MiG itself. Most of the Mig's like the 15,17,19,21,23 where strictly fighter's the 25,31 are interceptors for shooting down bombers not dog fights, and the 27 is a ground attack striker Last but not least is the 29 This is basically the Russian version of a f 15 it can be used in diffrent capacities from fighter to strike as well as intercepter

What was the aircraft kill ratio during Vietnam between migs and American aircraft?
A conservative estimate was about 2 to 1 in favor of the NVAF who were flyng MiG-17's up thru Rolling Thunder ('65-'68). In 1969, after the USN's Top Gun school opened in California, the air kills reversed; and US airmen were being credited with 3 & 4 to 1 kills in favor of the US. The best aerial kill ratio for a single jet fighter type, may have been accomplished by the USN's F8 Crusader (the last gunfighter) with a possible ratio of 19 to 1. Although most historians don't like to admit it, the MiG-21 was favored over the MiG-17 by NVAF pilots (and not the other way around). Most of the North Vietnamese pilots scored their aerial kills while flying the MiG-21. The North's MiG-17's may have gotten their favorite "status" from the early war years, when that was the only jet that US fighter pilots encountered on a regular basis. The North Vietnamese AF received their MiG-19's (J6 versions) strictly from Communist China in 1969, and their MiG-21's came strictly from the USSR. MiG-17's came from both super powers. The MiG-19 was an excellent jet, but because it had twin engines, it was a maintenance headache for the ground crews.
What is a mig?
According to Wikipedia, a Mig-29 (the most commonly used mig currently) is "a 4th generation jet fighter aircraft designed for the air superiority role in the Soviet Union. Developed in the 1970s by the Mikoyan design bureau, it entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1983, and remains in use by the Russian Air Force as well as in many other nations. NATO's reporting name for the MiG-29 is "Fulcrum", which was unofficially used by Soviet pilots in service.[1] It was developed to counter new American fighters such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the F/A-18 Hornet" (Wikipedia - Mikoyan MiG-29). "Mig" is a general name of the Russian fighter aircraft. It is a shortened name for the aircraft made by the Mikoyan company. However over the years, "Mig" would refer to the current aircraft that was used by the Russians. So a pilot in the Viet Nam War might say he shot down a Mig which would refer to a Mig 21 jet. Sources Cited "Mikoyan MiG-35." 14 Jun 2008 . The name "MiG" stems from Mikoyan Gurivich, the aircraft designers.

What is the top speed of a fighter jet?
MiG-21 ( Russian ) Mach 2 .. 1960 versions MiG-21 ( Russian ) Mach 2+.. 1970-1980 versions MiG-25 ( Russia ) Mach 2.5.. 1965 ( Can go Mach 3+ but engine will explode ) MiG-31 ( Russia ) Mach 2.7.. 1971 F-16/F-15 ( USA ) Mach 2 .. 1980 versions F-16/F-15 ( USA ) Mach 2+.. 1990-2000 versions Dogfight average flight speeds : Mach 0.5 to Mach 1.2 In Flight training : Mach 1 + Mach 1 is = 1236 km/hr Most modern Fighter Jets can speed beyond Mach 1.7. For an Exotic read "The AURORA Program" sees the stealth aircraft evidence supporting Mach 8 and beyond. It would depend on the jet itself. Each jet has a different engine (thrust production), weight, lift and drag component which all effect the top speed of fighter jets. For example the f18 hornet has a top speed of mach 1.8 (1190 kph) whilst the yet the mig 35 can get to mach 2.25(2400 kph)
