The Mig-23s were used for ground attack and interception with the job of main interceptor task going to the MiG-21s. As the conflict wore on Iraq's MiG-23s were suffering heavy losses so Iraq decided to keep their aging MiG-23MS back as defense for Baghdad. The war lasted until August 20, 1988 and 4012 survived the war because in 1988 it was given a new serial of 23103.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/powersearch\/?Search=CAT_TYP_JET_FTR_MIG23\"\u003eMikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23MS Flogger-E\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned as a heavier, more powerful improvement on the MiG-21 Fishbed, the MiG 23 first flew on June 10, 1967. This fighter\/bomber had variable-sweep wings and could achieve speeds greater than Mach 2. It was the first Soviet aircraft capable of firing \"beyond-visual-range\" missiles, and the first to have look-down\/shoot-down radar. As one of the most successful military aircraft built during the Cold War, MiG-23s were produced in large numbers, with more than 5,000 coming off of the production lines. Although retired from service in the former Soviet Union, many MiG-23s are still in service with various export customers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"clsCopyright\"\u003e© Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"airdrop militaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47896879890691,"sku":"HA5308","price":250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/1031\/8595\/files\/D5B24633-2C5F-4760-9452-ADE6799BB77C_1_105_c.jpg?v=1775067933","url":"https:\/\/airdropmilitaria.com\/products\/1-72-hobbymaster-ha5308-mikoyan-gurevich-mig23ms-flogger-4012-no-39-sqdn-iraqi-air-force-1981-limited-edition","provider":"airdrop militaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
