Modifications MiG-23

The aircraft MiG-23 - vysokoplan made by normal aerodynamic scheme, variable wing strilovydnosti. It has three fixed positions: 16 °, 45 ° and 72 ° on the front spar. Horizontal tail sutsilnopovorotnym. Chassis trohoporne with persistent nasal, taken in the fuselage. Under the fuselage mounted keel, which is right when landing at an angle 95 °. Wheels allow operation from ground airfields. Power plant first modification consists of a thick single-TRDF R-27-300. In later series engines were P-29F-300, P-35-300. Povitryazabyrachi side with adjustable wedges. The composition of weaponry were GSH-23L cannon, guided missiles of "air-air" small and medium-range missile "air-surface" units NAR, bombs caliber up to 500 kg (including tactical nuclear).
His modifications:
MiG-23S - First flight - May 21, 1969 Equipment: TRDF R-27F-300, a radio-location station RP-22, radiokompas ARC-10 and gear drive system ASP-PF.
MiG-23UB - training and combat aircraft "SPARK". Produced in the 1970-1978 biennium. in Irkutsk.
MiG-23M - aircraft with increased wing area and improved aerodynamics, engine changed at TRDF R29F-300. Was armed with advanced radar, "Sapphire-23D" teplopelenhatory TP-23 and telescopic sight collimator ASP-23D, which allowed to apply UR medium-range R-23R (semi radar guidance system) and P-23t (IR homing), and UR with infrared homing short-range C-13m.
MiG-23MS and MiG-23M - in 1973, simplified on-board electronics and weapons. Designed to supply for export.
MiG-23MF - intended for the Warsaw Pact, and to Arab countries. Most of the remodeled with MiG-23M. Even more simplified radar.

MiG-23ML - began in 1974 produced power plant with increased traction (TRDF R35F-300), Face "friend or foe" SRO-2M, radar "Sapphire-23ML" teplopelenhatory TP-23M, on the windscreen ILS ASP -17ML.
MiG-23P - lightweight interceptor for air defense, able to fight against low-flying targets. Available from 1977. Manufacturer - MMZ "Banner of Labour".
MiG-23MLD - redesigned glider toward improving maneuverability. Fighter radar capable of seeing up to six air targets simultaneously. To protect the low level of MANPADS and UR with infrared homing system for fixed wing parts found
blocks of container with infra-red traps. Armament: UR R-24R, R-24T, vysokomanevreni close combat missile R-73, which used infrared homing system.
