MiG-27K Kayra. The most advanced Strike Flogger. Very capable jammer, had had laser-, radar- and TV-guided missiles with pinpoint accurancy. Anti-Radar-Missiles made to fight down HAWK and Patriot SAM systems. The only one Flogger that was able to drop laserguided bombs. Kayra was a top fighterbomber.

Here in the colors of Kazakhstan.

If you look to the nose you see the window for the Laserdesignator of the Kayra system. It can look not only forwad, but also behind.

Typical for a Flogger: when rolling over the runway, the canopy was rised by 10 cm to get a better ventilation in the cockpit. Direct in the nose tip is the window of the TV-system of Kayra.

September 1987, a F-14A of VF-74, flying off the USS Forrestal, engaged an opposing aircraft that was to perform a simulated strike on CV-59. The Tomcat pilot engaed and scored a real live hit with an AIM-9

only problem was that Vodka 51 was a RF-4C of the 26th TRW, performing a simulated strike on the Forrestal.........

fortuneatly the Phantom crew survived the incident, and was about the Forrestal 45 minutes later, meeting the Captain shortly after where what happened was explained to them......

East german MiG-23ML over RSBN navigation station. RSBN was a soviet short range navigation system, comparable with american TACAN system. Pilots, which had flown in the LSK and Bundesluftwaffe said, that the soviet RSBN was more accurate than TACAN.
