A Soviet-built third-generation jet fighter, the MiG-23 was developed in the late 1960s and was officially introduced in 1970. There were two production variants: the "M" series was the interceptor-fighter model, while the "B" series served in the fighter-bomber role. More than 5,000 MiG-23s were ultimately manufactured, and it has seen extensive service around the world, including in Cuba, Syria, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. Though retired in Russia, it remains operational in 12 national militaries.
