It is a third-generation\ \ jet fighter, the world's most-produced variable-geometry aircraft, along with\ \ similar Soviet aircraft such as the Su-17 'Fitter'. It was the first Soviet fighter\ \ to field a look-down/shoot-down radar, the RP-23 Sapfir, and one of the first\ \ to be armed with beyond-visual-range missiles. Production started in 1969 and\ \ reached large numbers with over 5,000 aircraft built, making it the most produced\ \ variable-sweep wing aircraft in history. Today the MiG-23 remains in limited service\ \ with some export customers." introduced: 1982 manufacturer: Mikoyan-Gurevich origin: USSR/Russia price: 12 role: Fighter default_livery: af standard-3 (worn-out) variants: MiG-23ML Flogger-G: introduced: 1981 MiG-23MLD Flogger-K: {} tasks: CAS: 120 BARCAP: 360 Escort: 360 Fighter sweep: 360 Intercept: 360 Strike: 130 TARCAP: 360
