Mig-23 Jet Fighter

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 was a Soviet variable-sweep-wing fighter developed to improve speed, weapons capability, and takeoff performance over earlier designs. It was widely exported, with versions differing considerably in equipment and effectiveness. Variable sweep could help balance different phases of flight, but added mechanical complexity and did not remove the need for good training and tactical support. Export operators received different versions, while modernization changed some aircraft further. The MiG-23’s history is therefore varied, with performance and service experience depending strongly on the specific model and operating force. The first prototype flew in 1967. Its variable-geometry wing and side intakes contrasted sharply with the MiG-21’s fixed delta wing and nose intake.
