FSX – Mikoyan MiG-23 Flogger-G

FSX – Mikoyan MiG-23 Flogger-G. complete package. MiG-23 may be the ultimate expression of late 1960s fighter technology.  It was created in response to a Soviet requirement that takeoff run be dramatically decreased, among other things.  Swing-wing technology with high-lift devices, coupled with high-thrust engines, achieved that goal.  The MiG has a storied career, and is probably best-known for the two Libyan examples shot down by U.S. Navy Tomcats.  The advent of doppler radars and more advanced engines quickly relegated the MiG-23 to the back burner and eventual retirement, but the aircraft still retains a unique place in the history and development of the jet fighter.
