According to the project:
1.MiG-23-98-1 - A multifunctional tactical fighter with radically increased combat effectiveness due to the ability to intercept all types of air targets, detect and destroy ships, small-sized ground and radio-emitting targets. It is installed on the aircraft:
on-board automated system “core” consisting of: a digital computing system MVK, ILS, two multifunctional color LCD displays, two multifunctional control panels, a video recording system;
multifunctional radar with a range of detection of air targets of the “fighter” type 90-100 km-2 options were considered (Mosquito-23/Topaz_N019MP)…
modern guided weapons (air-to-air missiles - RVV-AE, R-27R,T, R-27E(R,T); R-73; air-to-surface missiles - X-25ML,MP, X-29L,T, TD, X-31A,P and KAB-500L aerial bombs, KR);
new SUO (from the MiG-21-93 aircraft), NSC, INS/KNS, SHS, radio altimeter;
new means of radio communication.
The main options offered are:
reduced visibility;
installation of a stake (from a MiG-29 aircraft);
the use of a diverse range of containers that expand the tactical capabilities of the aircraft;
refueling in the air;
Increased combat survivability;
additional avionics systems.
In a moment-23-98-1 All types of fighters and interceptors based on the MiG-23 can be converted…
2.MiG-23-98-2 - a tactical fighter with increased combat effectiveness in the fight against aerial targets. They are installed on the plane:
upgraded Saphir-23 radar and SUO, which ensure the use, in addition to standard weapons, of RVV-AE and R-73E air-to-air missiles;
a new inertial system with correction from the KNS;
new means of radio communication.
The main options offered are:
reduced visibility;
installing the NSC;
containers with an active radio interference station or reconnaissance equipment;
refueling in the air;
new avionics systems.
In an instant option-23-98-2 All modifications of the MiG-23 aircraft equipped with the Sapphire-23 radar can be retrofitted.
3.MiG-23-98-3-- installation of the Mosquito-21K radar (target detection range in the front hemisphere is 45 km, in the rear - 20 km) in a suspended container in addition to the standard Saphir-23 station. As a result, without serious redesign, the aircraft is able to carry the same weapons as in the first version (but with a shorter range of missile combat)…
