Mikoyan-Gurevich
MiG-27 (Flogger)
|
|
|
|
In
the late 1960s, Mikoyen developed a ground attack version of the MiG-23.
Designated the MiG-23BN, this aircraft was a basically a
MiG-23 with a new forward fuselage incorporating better downward
view and armor on the cockpit sides.
Continued development eliminated features required
of a Mach 2 fighter no longer needed in an attack aircraft's flight
regime. The variable inlets and nozzle were eliminated and
other minor fuselage changes made to increase stores capacity.
This new aircraft--designated the MiG-27 (NATO
Flogger-D)--first flew around 1972.
The MiG-27 was license built by Hindustan
Aeronautics (HAL) in India. Indian MiG-27s are named Bahadur
(Valiant). |
