ADVENTURE TOUR -
Flight MiG-23 "Flogger"
( Moscow)
First demonstrated to the public
during the Domodedovo airshow in
1967, the MiG-23 was a major
advance in fighter design over the
preceeding MiG-21. The aircraft
uses variable-sweep wings that can
be set at 16, 45, or 72 degrees of
sweep to improve performance at
both subsonic and supersonic
speeds. The MiG-23 also employs
variable inlets to improve engine
efficiency and increase range.
Production of the MiG-23 was
completed in 1985 after 4,278
single-seat and 769 trainers had
been built. The MiG-23 is said to
be easy to fly, popular with
pilots, and very reliable. A
simplified model was widely
exported, especially to Middle
Eastern nations, though success
has been limited. Numerous MiG-23
fighters were shot down by Israeli
F-15 aircraft during the 1982
Lebanon conflict, and Libyan
examples were successfully engaged
by US F-14 fighters during
skirmishes in the mid-1980s.
Though still in service with a
number of nations, the MiG-23 and
related MiG-27 were phased out of
Russian service in 1999
