Uh, no. The ALR-94 has sufficient resolution to tell the AIM-120 where the target is and handle the engagement all by itself, without help from the radar.

Wow,thats genial, so when an enemy is irradiating, the F-22 pilot can turn his LPI radar off and still launch and cue the AIM-120 missile to the target?

Vietnamese Su-22M4P with Vjuga-17 radiation targeting pod and 2 Kh-25MP missiles under belly for the SEAD mission.

Beautiful, desperately looking for cockpit pictures of Vjuga-17 modified Fitters. Did anyone of you ever see the “Ray” (Lutch in Russian) indicator in the cockpit?

I have never seen evidence of Kazakhstan operating Fitters (writen or pictures), only a poorly photoshopped image of a Polish Su-22 with Kazakh roundels. So if anyone has evidence to the contrary, please post it.

Kazakhstan aircrafts do not use roundels, but red star with sun in the middle and an eagle across. I doubt that Fitters are still flying there.

It certainly can carry R-60 on the regular pylons

thanks, but I wanted to hear it from the other guy…;)

Maybe they wanted to perve on the gunner???? :rolleyes:

She is the gunner, nice face btw.

Libyan Migs-23ML have been overhauled an modernized recently in Russia or Ukraine.

This photo shows Angolan Mig-23ML becoming some sort of MLD upgrade.

Hmm… Why english stencils? Is it because it was for export? I thought russian export a/c would have russian stencils.

Export Migs to third world countries had english stencils as well as translated documentation to english. I think the aircraft b/n 19 red was used in soviet fighter schools to train foreign pilots.

I’m surprised it didnt jumped in your eyes the non-standard LERX antennas and the different tail RWR configuration of 19 red at Monino, wish i’d be able to travel there. That not a baseline ML config…but again ,i might be wrong.

OK, about the LERX antennas, check again that Russian book and read text marked red. Now, look at the list I made comparing Czech and Bulgarian Mig-23ML/MLA serial numbers. Note, the similarity of izd.23-12A and even more important is that the izd.23-12A nor Bulgarian MLA dont have additional LERX antennas you are talking above. I`m curious what you say now.

632 10632 ML izd.23-12 , Bulgarian, an early Mig-23ML differed to the later MLA in some older avionic aggregates.

P.S. The whole list of Bulgarian AF Migs-23 serials is written here…
http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/waf/bulgaria/af/types/mig2.htm

Me personally i’m still not fully sure of what the heck is a MLA yet… ( oh and that book is wrong , i have it too , GDR didnt got their MLs in 1985…its sooner -gotta check again )

Anyway the 19 red link…

Hmmm, I have not seen so much ignorance a quite long time. Actually,how much validated evidence do you need to see?? 😮

1.Authors of Russian publication say it clear, bcs they discussed the MLA issue with the MAPO MIG, various ARZ and VVS representatives, so you hardly will find anywhere a more credible answer.

2. After checking they agreed that the Mig-23MLA denotes code izd. 23-12A.

3.I confirm their statements by showing an export Mig-23ML logbook, look above what it is saying. Izd.23-12A . It means that both Czechoslovakia and GDR received Izd.23-12A, surprisingly from almost the same production batch as the Bulgarian ones, but both airforces accustomed the name Mig-23ML except Bulgarian AF.

4.Some Bulgarian aviation outsiders who cant adequately verify their claims started this mystery saying their MLA are somehow different to the rest to Warsaw Pact Mig-23ML.

5.Please stop this nonsense about the Mig-23ML red 19 scraped at Monino museum as this was one a baseline Mig-23ML used to teach flying Russia`s foreign customers and third world allies. I have been in Monino to investigate this aircraft.
