The MiG‑27M, NATO‑codename “Flogger‑J2,” evolved from the MiG‑23BN, adding a laser range‑finder nose, SAPSAN targeting optics and an internal six‑barrel 30 mm Gatling cannon—making it a formidable Soviet strike aircraft. Active from 1975 through the late 1990s with VVS and Indian Air Force, its cockpit featured distinct turquoise panels, CRT displays and analog backup gauges—details reproduced precisely in this Microdesign set.
