It is based on the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 fighter aircraft, but\ \ optimised for air-to-ground attack. Unlike the MiG-23, the MiG-27 did not have\ \ widespread use outside Russia, as most countries opted for the Mikoyan-Gurevich\ \ MiG-23BN and Sukhoi Su-22 instead. It remains in service only with the Kazakh\ \ Air Forces in the ground attack role. All Russian, Indian and Ukrainian MiG-27s\ \ have been retired." introduced: 1975 manufacturer: Mikoyan origin: USSR/Russia price: 15 role: Attack variants: MiG-27K Flogger-J2: {} tasks: BAI: 540 CAS: 540 DEAD: 290 OCA/Aircraft: 540 OCA/Runway: 230 SEAD: 10 SEAD Escort: 10 Strike: 230
