Mikoyan Gurevich MiG 27 Flogger D

Strike Version. Dirivative of the MiG-23 Flogger-B, this low flying variable geometry strike aircraft can bombard heavily armored and defended targets with it's array of deadly weapons. The most notable difference is in it's nose configuration. The MiG-27 has a nose that fallows the bottom axis of the plane, and the top axis casually slopes into the rest of the aircraft, while the MiG-23 has a comventional nose. The reason for the slanted nose is for the cameras and laser pin-pointers to have a much wider and longer view of the terrain. The MiG-27 has incorperated the PrNK-23K INS (Intergrated Navigational System), ORbita-20-23K ADC (Airborne Digital Computer), and the Kaira-1 LTSS (Laser / Television Sighting System). With the tech on board, the lock on range was 7.5 - 8.0 km, (weather permitting). Early on as the technology improved, the RSBN-6 short range navigational system was replaced with the KN-23 radical navigational system. Targets included fixed and stationary objects, hardened bunkers, parked aircraft, small sea-borne vessels, and runways. The aircraft carries a 30mm Sh-6-30 auto-cannon supplied with 260 rounds, which fires at a rate of 5,000 r/m (rounds per minute) @ 875 m/s (meters per second). It also carries a gunpod with a SPPU-22 2x barrol 23mm anti-aircraft auto-cannon @ 200 rounds. 3,000 r/m @ 710 m/s. The Flogger generations are also fast, very fast. With top speeds aproaching Mach 3 it was feared by short range radar. Still fairly maneuverable at that speed can also evade enemy fighters, AAA, and SAM systems. Contemplated retirement from active soviet countries and Russian service, it will still remain in active duty in various lesser countries such as Iraq and Iran, Isreal, ect. .
