Alpha Mig-23 In The Works

Forgive my ignorance, but I am better informed about earlier years of aviation history, were MiG23's ever met in combat by Western planes?
Perhaps in Vietnam? As far as I know only MiG21s, 19s and 17s were flown by the North Vietnamese.

Hi Stef, and thank you.

In regards to combat by Western planes, there was the Gulf of Sidra incident.

The majority of the others I have read about involve Egypt and the IAF Mirage.
A lot of middle eastern countries had an inventory of Mig-23's as Roxane-21 and Gius stated.

And you have a Happy Easter also!

Ps: For many more skins go to the Avsim library and search Alphasim Mig-23 .


Eight Iraqi Mig 23s were shot down in the Gulf War in 1991 - Seven by F-15Cs of the 33rd and 36th TFWs and one by an F-16C of the 52nd FW.

Jets in CFS2 are not in my wheelhouse but this looks like a nice piece of work, Dave.
