Historical Background – MiG-23ML

The MiG-23ML is a Soviet jet fighter with variable-geometry wings, developed from the late 1960s and introduced into service in the 1970s. The main user was the Soviet Air Force as well as other Warsaw Pact countries, including Poland, East Germany, Bulgaria, and Czechoslovakia. The aircraft was widely used during the Cold War and also served successfully in many local conflicts in the Middle East and Africa. The ML version (Modernizirovannyy Legkiy – modernized lightweight) is one of the most advanced variants, offering significantly improved performance compared to its predecessors.
