Introduced in the 1970s, it became the most-produced variable-sweep wing aircraft in history, with over 5,000 units built. The MiG-23 was developed to improve the performance and range of its predecessor, the MiG-21. It featured advanced avionics, beyond-visual-range missiles, and a look-down/shoot-down radar.

The pilot could select the wing sweep for low-speed take-off and landing or for s
