The MiG-23
The Mikoyan-Gurevich-23 was another design of the Soviet Union. It’s a variable-geometry fighter aircraft and a 3rd-generation fighter jet, and quite modern at that. It pioneered the “look-down/shoot-down” type of radar system and was the world’s most-produced variable-geometry aircraft. The Russian Pilots preferred the previous version of this particular aircraft. This new design had a tiny cockpit, which didn’t allow for clear views for the pilot. After the cold-war, the MiG-23 found its place in airplane heaven and was scrapped to the graveyard but its predecessor the 21, still roams the skies today!
