<< Oh no someone managed to fly a MiG-21 into our exaust port and blow up the core right after shooting Lord Vader and blowing up three star destroyers! >>
I didn't know that MiG-21 can fly in space
With in more seriousness , i think is possible to modify it with some oxygen injectors and a modernization of a more efficient engine jet. and i also think you should use a pressurized suit .
It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Ace Combat. Of course they can.
To make a jet engine run in space, you need a tank of liquid oxygen (skip the nitrogen in normal air because it's unnecessary). Since you're storing it as compressed as it's going to get, the compressor stage of the engine can be eliminated (which will help clear space for the oxygen tank). Then eliminate the turbine because there's no compressor for it to turn. Now you're just pumping liquid oxygen and fuel into a combustion chamber and letting the hot gas they produce out the back, which happens to be a perfectly good description of a rocket engine.
You'll also want to make sure to add some means to steer the thing in a vacuum. It would suck to launch into space only to be stuck flying in circles, helplessly wiggling your control surfaces.
