The MiG-23 (NATO reporting name: Flogger) is a variable-geometry fighter
aircraft, designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. It is considered
to belong to the Soviet third generation jet fighter category. It was the
first attempt by the Soviet Union to design look-down/shoot-down radar and one
of the first to be armed with beyond visual range missiles, and the first MiG
production fighter aircraft to have intakes at the sides of the fuselage.
Production started in 1970 and reached large numbers with over 5,000
aircraft built. A total of 36 MiG-23MF single-seaters and six MiG-23UB
trainers were delivered to the Polish Air Force between 1979 and 1982. The last
of them were withdrawn in September 1999.
