i did mention that, i know the MS since i started as a pilot in 1982 since when it started i dont know AND ML in 1984,,as for the 25,, i did mention the mig-25pd IN OTHER UNITS as primary interceptor although it was used for deep srikes that failed in my unit the RB was used for both RECC and later 1986-1988 IN interceptor role,,my information is based on facts,,yours on books,,if you lived in iraq and you are a pilot the last thing you do is ask questions,,like when and where,,i dont expect you to know that anyway…
Hi IRAF_PILOT
Dear my information not came from books but from Iraqi pilots and from what I see it in iraq iran war.and I know every thing about Iraqi pilots situation now and what thy saffer .but my question to you is back for some thing to myself.by the way what is missile that used in MIG-25RB in interceptor role in the late of iraq iran war and can you mention to as how many iranian aircraft that shotdown by MIG-25RB and the date and type of these aircraft
you have to know that the mig-23 started arriving in iraq in 1980 with the start of the iran iraq war units started swiching from mig-21 to 23 MS first then ML next,,the radar capability was very basic and its air-air capabilty is reagrded among the IRAQi airforce pilots as less than the MIG-21MF,,IF you follow the iranian air to air kills you will find that F-4E air to air kills against the iraqi airforce is higher in the MIG-23 than the MIG-21 although the mig-21 in recc. role and cole air support was used more commonly,,i am a MIG-25 pilot but a very tranied MIG-21MF muyself IF I GO INTO COMBAT AGAINST A f-4E i would rather be in a MIG-21MF with french air-air missiles rather than in a mig-23,,,i flew the MIG-23MS in traning not in combat and did not like it,,flew the mig-21mf in combat for 3 years before going to MIG-25 which i flew in RECC role and INTERCEPTOR ROLE AND a-g role,,,in RECC magnificent i am in and out so fast no plane can put up a chase,,,in interceptor role highly superiore to anything the iranians can put in the air even the F-14,,in A-G role against ground targets very disappointing.
i hope i answered your questions
dear IRAF_PILOT
There is some information here not accurate.
the IRAF have the first unit of MIG-23MS in 1976 and the first unit of MIG-23MF in 1983 that you didn’t mention it and the first unit of MIG-23ML in the late 1984.
and the IRAF used the MIG-25PD in interceptor role not the MIG-25RB.
i am sorry i dont know them,,in 1980 not a pilot as for my training it was not in russia! but countries who use russian equipment
than k you
