MiG-23-98 LIGHTWEIGHT FRONT-LINE FIGHTER
The Mig-23-98 is designed to defeat air targets in the
daytime and at night, in VFR and IFR weather condi-
tions, and also destroy ground and surface targets with
unguided and guided weapons.
The aircraft is developed from the production versions
of the MiG-23MLD frontal fighter and the MiG-23P
interceptor using equipment and armament unified for
other MiG fighters.
At customer request, the fighter can be equipped with a
new multifunction multichannel pulse-Doppler radar,
enabling the pilot to use R-73, RVV-AE and R-27 air-to-
air missiles; perform the target designation for Kh-31A
and Kh-35 air-to-ship missiles; and detect pinpoint tar-
gets. Alternatively, the Sapfir-23 modernized radar may
be used to enable the crew to employ the R-73 and
RVV-AE air-to-air missiles, as well as the R-24R, R-23
and R-60 standard missiles.
The aircraft is equipped with an airborne digital com-
puter and a GPS receiver in both radar versions. In the
new radar version, the fighter is furnished with an iner-
tial flight navigation system and a multifunction display.
The MiG-23-98 can additionally be equipped with:
- helmet-mounted target designator;
- new ECM equipment (a radar threat warning station,
an active jammer, and a thermal decoy dispenser);
- target designator for air-to-radar missiles;
- IFF and ATC systems and communications facilities
corresponding to Western standards;
- Karat-B data analysis and recording system;
- video recording equipment;
- flight mission input system;
- sighting and reconnaissance equipment pods;
- armament versions incorporating Kh-29T (TE) and
KAB-500KR TV-guided weapons, as well as Kh-29L and
KAB-500L laser-guided weapons (with a suspended
sighting equipment pod).
Other modification versions can also be considered,
including the use of Western avionics and extending
the fighter’s service life.
