The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 had its maiden flight on 10th June 1967, and
on 9th July it was unveiled to the public at the Domodedovo airshow,
receiving the name "Flogger" in NATO code. The particular new feature of
this aircraft were the variable-geometry wings, unprecedented in the
history of Soviet aeronautic construction; nonetheless, the development
time was relatively brief for such an innovative project, and the first
pre-production variant went into service as early as 1971.A ground
attack variant, the MiG-23BN, was also developed and was the backbone
for a more specialized assault version named MiG-27. The last MiG-23s in
front line service were retired from Russia and Warsaw Pact front-line
aviation regiments around 1999-2000.There are some small numbers of
these aircraft still servicing in Middle East recent wars, as recent Libya and Syria conflicts.
