Mig-27 Flogger Fighter

The MiG-27 was a Soviet variable-sweep-wing ground-attack aircraft developed from the MiG-23 family. Its redesigned nose improved the pilot’s view of the target area, while attack-oriented avionics and a powerful cannon emphasized battlefield strike rather than interception. It entered service in the 1970s and also served with export users, notably India. Calling it simply a fighter obscures its principal attack mission. Its variable wing sweep helped accommodate different flight conditions, but also added mechanical complexity. The fixed cannon and mission equipment separated its purpose from the interceptor ancestry of the family. A variable-sweep wing allowed different configurations for takeoff and high-speed flight.
