Assembly model 1:72 aircraft MiG-23 MLAE-2 Flogger-G Clear Prop 72031

Mikoyan-Gurievich MIG-23 is a Soviet single-engine fighter-attack fighter with variable wing geometry, with classic plumage. The flight of the prototype took place on June 10, 1967, and it lasted until 1985 shortly after. The MIG-23 was clearly influenced by the design of the French Mirage G, although the MIG-21PD machines were initially tested with the MIG-21 wing, R-27-300 engine and RD-36-35 auxiliary launchers located vertically in the fuselage. Various versions and variants were developed: MIG-23S (MIG 21SM avionics, R-27F2M-300 engine), MIG-23M (improved aerodynamics and design, new avionics, R-29-300 engine), MIG-23UB (2 - local combat training vehicles) and MIG-23MLA. In 1970, the MIG-23B attack aircraft with an increased weapon load capacity was tested, which is a development of the S version. The BM and BK variants are derived from it. The designation of the latter was eventually changed to MIG-27K. In total, about 3,000 such aircraft were produced. Aircraft of this type participated in numerous conflicts, in particular in the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), in Afghanistan (1979-1989) and during the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991).
