In 1983, over the Baltic Sea, one captain on a MiG-23m won a demonstrative battle over a pair of Swedish "Wiggens" near the aircraft carrier "Moscow". The captain skillfully used all the technical capabilities inherent in this aircraft to win a maneuverable air battle. I'm sorry, I can't remember the captain's last name, but I shook his manly hand in 1998. God grant that the pilots converge only for demonstrative air battles!

I got to ride in a MiG-29 M2 variant in 2010 from a friend in Russia I knew from Okinawa by her brother who was a pilot at the time. I had to take a physical to and it cost me 1500 with hotel two weeks stay and you get to fly much longer and the pilot checks in with you. I passed out only once. It was intense and I needed some help out the plane they were very worried but I walked down the ladder under my own power. Those little planes can pull insane G's.

It's great to see this Bulgarian Air Force Mig-23 still flying and in good condition keep up the good work. I wish my granddad was alive to see this bird still flying. He was stationed at Dobroslavtsi air base near the capital Sofia, where the last squadron was still flying it until it's deactivation in 2002 on the political orders of USA. So sad that the Bulgarian government put all the remaining perfectly flying planes on the runway and chop them on the runway for the americans to see and chear. He was one of the engineers, that kept this plane flying, I remember when he was told that the base will be closed and the planes destroyed he was crying and left the air force but his tattoo of the Mig-23 on his right forearm was a proud reminder for him.

Mój dystrybutor tlenu to był AKZS-75M na podwoziu ZIL-131. Fajnie powspominać. Pozdrawiam z Polski. Nice episode. In the years 90-91 I was in the army, in the JW2848 Slupsk-Redzikowo PL unit. I was servicing these planes. Mostly I was filling up with oxygen to them. The main oxygen valve was under the left wing. My oxygen distributor was AKZS-75M on the ZIL-131 chassis. It's fun to reminisce. Greetings from Poland.

Интересно видеть Миг-23 в частной коллекции, да и в таком хорошем состоянии. Вы большие молодцы! Мне доводилось общаться с пилотами служивших на нём. Вообще они хорошо охарактеризовали машину и говорили, что в своё время был вполне неплохой самолёт.

@TheFaveteLinguis 3 жыл бұрын

Мнения очень разнятся. Слышал от очень компетентных людей на нем летавших сплошной позитив об этой машине, но читал я только о потерях и неудобствах. Американцы писали о том как анализировали первые модели МиГ-23 по программе Give Doghnut и насколько сильно они были неудобны, но хвалили экспортные МиГ-21. В то же время старшие модели МиГ-23 должны быть лучше. Поди теперь узнай. В любом случае МиГ-23 появился в начале 70-х, когда американцы завершали Ф-14 и Ф-15.

@@TheFaveteLinguis ну я больше доверяю пилотам. Потому как они технику щупали и наши орлы летать умеют. Хотя не спорю становление Миг-23 на крыло было тернистым и трудным. Но машину довели. И хотя новые tomcat F-14 и eagle F-15. И были в всём более совершенными самолётами. Но правда такова, что Мигу-23 удалось с ними повоевать и весьма неплохо учитывая, что он уступая во всем мог сбивать и сбивал их. Правда всё равно счёт не в пользу Мигов, но ничего удивительного, хотя в моделировании получались куда более высокие потери. Но не об этом. Надо понимать несколько вещей: 1)Любая страна ведет свою пропаганду и их техника всегда будет показана в лучшем свете. Поэтому верить статьям журналистам "экспертам" я бы не стал. 2) Военная техника это только инструмент и само по себе оно не может взять и победить противника, победить или нет в реальном бою зависит от массы случайных условий и умений пилота. В конце концов первые версии Су-27 по сухим цифрам ТТХ во всем проигрывали F-15, но это не помешало нашим летчикам в сухую победить их в дуэлях. просто поищи бой на Су-27 против F-15 генерала Харчевского.

Impressive video! Where did you pick that up? Dimitris' Used Mig Sales? I hope you got the remainder of the factory warrantee! The old bird looks to be in real good condition. Nice job; airplane and video!

I thought you were going to do an unrestricted take off, but you guys took it easy. I'm obviously just kidding. Nice flight! I would NOT have balls to step into that plane.
