Love the Mig 23. I flew Mirage in ACTs against F4s. The Mig would wax the F4 eay

It has been said that President Nixon was going to use the B-52 to prop up South Vietnam's government at least until the end of his second term,then his successor would have to deal with Vietnam.Thats how powerful a weapon it is,the Mig-23 Flogger's primary mission was to stop this goliath from invading Soviet air space and dropping hydrogen bombs on Soviet targets.The Mig-23 Flogger was the greatest!
Brad Daft, e-mail, 08.04.2011 04:14
The Mig-23's mission was to intercept American B-52 bombers and shoot them out of the sky.That is why the Soviet Union built and deployed so many interceptors far more than America,becouse of the big guy,the B-52.The B-52 could have actually altered the course of a country's history,Vietnam.During the Vietnam war President Nixon used the B-52 to pulverize Hanoi to the bargaining table.It worked,but Nixon was left powerless by Watergate.

Outrage!Biased western propaganda is all it is!Im talking about the new book T-62 vs M-60,i just got it.If your going to lie at least put some effort into it!It says in the book that the m-60 destroyed hundreds of T-62s while only one T-62 destroyed one m-60!Yeah right!The T-62 ruled the battlefield in 1973!
Brad Daft, e-mail, 23.02.2011 05:20
The Soviet T-62 is my favorite tank,it's greatest hour was in the 1973 Yom Kippur war,it was a fine compliment to the Mig-23
David Earl, 14.02.2011 23:31
I'll keep saying this, if the Nazis were able to continue their plane experiments, the Messerschmitt 162 would have evolved to something far better than this. Not that this isn't a bad plane at any rate.
Brad Daft, e-mail, 30.01.2011 03:31
The Mig-23 Flogger is the greatest interceptor ever period.
Brad Daft, e-mail, 08.12.2010 08:29
Interesting,the F4 Phantom vs the Mig-23,id love to see whod win that one!

I use to track M-23 from U-2 recon photos in vietnam, we usually knew where they were near the end of the war and we could never get them to come up and fight.

The Soviets would have won World War 3,with missiles like the SS-16 Sinner and SS-18 Satan they could have destroyed the American Minuteman 3 silos,
Brad Daft, e-mail, 21.07.2010 05:36
No the Mig-23 was a superb interceptor and luckily for the Israelies in 1981 didn't challenge them over Iraq when they bombed Hussien's nuclear reactor.President Carter warned us about nuclear proliferation,reagan the dumby did nothing about it.reagan was so stupid,he wasted billions of dollars on the military when it was already strong.President Carter made our military tough there was no reason for pouring billions of dollars into it but dumby did it anyway.

Nah im kidding i love the Mig-23,I read where the Soviets invested 30 percent in submarines and the rst in land based ICBMS,i would have invested 100 percent in submarines.Becouse submarines are stealthy & very difficult to track where land based ICBMS are stationary.Imagine if the Soviets had invested 100 percent in submarines,the world's oceans would have been infested with them and America would have had a hell of a time keeping track of all of these submarines with their nuclear missiles capable of wiping out everyone of our cities.Submarines are very effective weapons.

The American Vietnam era jets was the greatest,the F-4 the F-8 Crusader,and the THUD the F-105 Thunderchief.These great jets ruled the skies over Vietnam and would have over the Soviet Union.

Nay im just jerking you around my favorite aircraft is the F-4 Phantom 2.I just wrote all that stuff well i don't really know why i did.But the Phantom is my favorite military aircraft of the post war world.The F4E is better than the Mig-23.The F-4 Phantom 2 was a great aircraft.
Brad Daft, e-mail, 13.07.2010 05:39
The Mig-23 would have played a crucial role in any world war.Like the Panzers 1 and 2 in World War 2 did.These blistering fast highly manueverable tanks conqurered Poland France & the low countries.These two bozos who wrote the book Panzerkrieg said the Panzer 3 and 4 was the conquerers.No this is wrong,the 3 and 4 were to few in number to make a signifigant impact on the early blitzkriegs.The Panzer 1 & 2 were the backbone of the early German blitzkriegs,they tore apart Europe's predominantly infantry armies.

The mighty Flogger is the greatest!
Brad Daft, e-mail, 11.07.2010 21:53
Remember that for a long time Soviet clients only had two warplanes to fight with,the Mig-21 a dedicated dogfighter and a superb one although it was getting on in years,and the Mig-23 which was of course a interceptor,not a dogfighter.The Mig-17,Mig-19 was subsonic so they don't really count when you compare them with supersonic hightech western aircraft,although the Mig-17 did give American pilots a rough time over Vietnam.Remember that America had the F-4 Phantom 2,the F-15,F-16 and F-14.This while Soviet clients really only had two viable contenders the Mig-21 and Mig-23 and one was a interceptor!!!The Mig-29 Fulcrum and Sukoi 27 did not come along until much later and they were more like western hightech types than Soviet rough and tumble types anyway.
Brad Daft, e-mail, 11.07.2010 05:06
And like Desert Storm in 1991 the coalition never mentioned their great Abrams getting knocked cold by a Iraqi T-72 until 2003!Yes they brag and brag about how the M-1A1 Abrams made mincemeat out of Hussien's vounted T-72s,but but they failed to mention that one the Iraqi T-72s used cheap metal for their ammunition.Not the more expensive Tungstan which would have been more effective,and that the Iraqis were abandoning their vehicles to avoid being killed by the coalition air power,so when the coalition ground forces approached they encountered many empty tanks with no crews.The Coalition never mentioned this in 1991 when they easily defeated Hussien's armored divisions.All you heard was our tanks destroyed their tanks well sometimes there was other reasons for this besides our stuff was just better than their stuff.
Brad Daft, e-mail, 11.07.2010 04:34
Ha i found a site online that says the mighty Flogger did in fact destroy 5 F-16s and and and hold your breath 3 F-15s,the invincable Eagle!Yes thats right the 3rd generation interceptor downed 3 count em 3 4th generation supertech dogfighting eagles!Well well well,truth comes out huh?
Brad Daft, e-mail, 11.07.2010 04:21
And remember the Mig-23 was a 3rd generation aircraft who mostly faced 4th generation aircraft.However a Cuban Mig-23 blasted a French MirriageF-1 from the sky.there is pictures to prove this unlike in the middle east where all the proof mysteriously vanished.Yeah Israel where are the pictures of your downed F-15s and F-16s victims of Floggers?Thats right i said it,the Mig-23 is the best interceptor the world has ever seen,i don't care what anyone says.
Brad Daft, e-mail, 10.07.2010 21:16
And like the mighty Flogger the Soviet T-62 tank my favorite tank,was given a bad undeserved rep.The T-62 was a great tank in it's day.The Arabs would have been succesful in 1973 if they had had more T-62s at their disposal.Just ask the Israelies who had the bad luck of being on the recieving end of the powerful 115 mm main gun somewhere i would never want to be!
Brad Daft, e-mail, 10.07.2010 21:03
I can't stay away i love the Flogger so much,i want to thank the people who run this site letting a Flogger nut like myself express himself.Yes the Mig-23 was a great interceptor,it would have done it's job superbly over Soviet territory blasting American and NATO bombers out of the sky.
Brad Daft, e-mail, 10.07.2010 05:41
And if the cold war had turned hot the F-15s advantages as a dogfighter would have been negated by swarms of Floggers which would outnumber the F-15s and while one F-15 would be twisting and turning to outmanuever one Flogger which it could easily do,it could be hit from any direction by the other numerouse Floggers in the swarm.
Brad Daft, e-mail, 10.07.2010 05:34
And i wish the west would finally admite that the mighty Flogger did shoot down some F-15s.They will not disclose this information becouse they are ashamned that the Flogger did in fact blow their Eagles out of the sky,along with F-16s.It is true anyone who says otherwise is a lier.The west will lie and Israel will swear to it.Israel tried to lie and say their aircraft was mostly lost to SAMS,noo their aircraft also fell to Floggers so now you know the truth your welocome!
Brad Daft, e-mail, 10.07.2010 05:23
I love the Mig-23 it is my favorite postwar aircraft.I get tired of reading where the Flogger is compared to air to air dogfighters becouse this is utterly unfair and untrue.The Flogger is a air to air interceptor it was not desinged to engage enemy fighters in dogfights,it was intended to intercept American and NATO bombers and shoot them down.Like i said i love the Flogger,it is my favorite aircraft of all time.

it's a bit misleading to say that the mig-23 is "in large-scale use with the former Soviet air force", when the russian air force, which comprises the bulk of the "former soviet air force", has retired all of its mig-23s.
