The MIG 23 was developed as an improvement over the troubled MIG 21. The MIG 23 entered service in 1972 with enlargend radar and fuel capacity. This single seat combat fighter has a max speed of 1520 m.p.h. and featured cannons and air to air missiles. Designed as a heavier, more powerful improvement on the MiG-21 Fishbed, the MiG 23 first flew on June 10, 1967. This fighter/bomber had variable-sweep wings and could achieve speeds greater than Mach 2. It was the first Soviet aircraft capable of firing "beyond-visual-range" missiles, and the first to have look-down/shoot-down radar. As one of the most successful military aircraft built during the Cold War, MiG-23s were produced in large numbers, with more than 5,000 coming off of the production lines. Although retired from service in the former Soviet Union, many MiG-23s are still in service with various export customers. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
