hiya!
got some questions for a model of an iraqi mig-23BN im working on, and would greatly appreciate input:
I read somewhere that iraqi mig-23BNs carried the exocet missile, is this true?
were they ever modified to carry other special weapons?
what woudl be typical war loadout be?
did they carry chemical munitions (db-2 or R-400)
thanks for any info!!
regards
Azeri Su-24MR and Su-25

3rd photo of kyrgzistan mig-23MS. this has been of particular interest to me as i have been wondrign why a MS is here. done some digging: turns out in the soviet times bishek and tokmak airstrips were used for training of forign pilots..this links in with grainy video i have of a soviet mig-23MS with dummy atoll…meanign msot likely instruction for mig-23MS operators occoured here on soviet mig-23MS’. BTW if anyone has soviet mig-23MS pics i would love to see them!!!

hiya!
well i took a bit of a stab in the dark…all teh odl mirages used latin numbers, so Decided to use latin numbers in association with the odl roundals.. the flags were pulled together form bits’ n pieces, the whole things gloss coated for decaling

hiya!
Thanks, though ive seen Avmia’s profile before, but it seems to be based of the Egyptian example (check flag) in the first pic, which leaves me questioning its accuracy.

it is NOT poli charki it KMTC military scrap yard off the jalalabad road i think we are both talking about the same place the confusion seems to lie in the location of poli charki. Poli charki is in a completely different direction!
lol
yea, thats the one, KMTC scrap yard it is then! 😉
im completly envious of you getting to poke round that place! though it seems to have been cleaned up quite a bit, Ive got a list of aircraft pieces that were there a few years ago if ur interested.
Regards
