Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23

MiG-23 Flogger is a Soviet interceptor-fighter aircraft. It first entered the Soviet Air Force in 1970.

The MiG-23 was a replacement for the MiG-21.^[2] It was used by Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War, the Kuwait Invasion, and the Gulf War. Today, it is still used, but not as much as other modern jets.
