A Soviet RSBN navigation antenna from a MiG-21, stamped АП(3)-08М with serial number 75503. RSBN was the Soviet short-range radio navigation and landing system, the Eastern Bloc counterpart of the Western TACAN. On the MiG-21bis, its small antennas sat under the nose intake and on top of the tail fin.
Painted metal body, 36 cm long, ending in a knurled-nut electrical connector that still carries its lockwire, twisted on by ground crews to stop the nut loosening under vibration.
A piece of Cold War aviation hardware, ready for a desk or a Soviet aviation collection.
