Still remembered calling my old MiG-23MF build one of the best I've ever made.

Description :

The MiG-23MS ("Flogger-E") is an export variant of the MiG-23M, the MiG-23MS was a downgrade version designed for Third World customers who couldn't be trusted with the advanced technology of the MiG-23MF. The MiG-23MS was equipped with the same weapons and equipment as the MiG-21S/SM. A downgraded export version of the RP-22SM radar gave the MiG-23MS its distinctively short nose radome, while the undernose IRST was removed. The only missiles it was capable of firing were up to four R-3S and R-3R air-to-air missiles, though the improved R-13M was added later. This variant was produced at Znamya Truda between 1973 and 1978

Eighteen aircraft were sent to Iraq, with 2 being lost during the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq had 15 aircraft when the Gulf War started, MiG-23MS was not known to have participated in any air combat during this period, by the end of the war only 13 aircraft were left, these were later then grounded and possibly scrapped after the 2003 Iraq War.

In this SimplePlanes version, well it's basically just the MiG-23MS, it is armed with two R-3Rs and two R-3Ss, there's a detailed cockpit, roundels, folding ventral fin, wing sweep, and leading edge slats.

As usual credits for the HUD and radar display to striderxxl.
