Historical Background
Derived from the MiG‑23, the MiG‑27M featured a redesigned nose for the Klen‑P laser designator, internal 30 mm six‑barrel cannon and reinforced landing gear for rough strips. Its airframe bristled with cooling vents, gun‑gas ejectors and flare dispensers—characteristics brought to life by this Microdesign exterior set. In VVS service through the 1990s and with India until 2020, the MiG‑27M remains a symbol of Soviet close‑air‑support innovation.
