Description
The MiG-27 ground-attack aircraft originally built in the Soviet Union and later licence-produced in India. It is based on the MiG-23 fighter aircraft, but optimised for air-to-ground attack. Unlike the MiG-23, the MiG-27 did not have widespread use outside Russia, as most countries opted for the MiG-23BN and Su-22 instead.
