They didnt test it.
They literally just mounted missiles to a MiG-23 as a proof of concept, there was no integration whatsoever.

In-game 120B is the exact same.
And irl I’m pretty sure 120B is just electronics upgrade
someone said on internet that the reason they chose modern platform over mig-23 was the “expensive” changes to mig-23 to use r-77. so i think they surely tested it
speed is s key thing
They didn’t, stop lying. It was a proposed upgrade that wasn’t integrated into a single MiG-23 platform. This is a demonstration of what the upgrade COULD have entailed, but nothing was ever applied to the existing MiG-23MLD airframe to allow it to use said weaponry. It could use the R-73 however, as later MiG-23MLDs were modified to use such a weapon later into their service. The R-77 and R-27 could not be used at all however.
If you have anything that can prove the contrary (there isn’t anything other than images, which are secondary sources and not only prove nothing, but are not up to gaijin’s standards of implementation), please feel free to prove me wrong and show said sources.

There is a difference between testing and not going forward cause of cost and not testing cause of expected cost.
They didn’t. It’s as simple as that. It was a proposed modernization that never went anywhere, unlike the MiG-21-93 program.
where is your source for your claim?
The literal fact that there are no sources.

we need russians who have been in air force before and know something about this lol
where to find them lol
but i think they wanted to give this upgrade to other countries but nobody wanted it
i think they can add it, its only the radar. of course the mig-23 never been made
It seems to have been a private endeavor from a company that proposed the modernization, meaning I highly doubt anyone in the USSR Air Force or Russian Air Force would know much if anything about this aircraft. But feel free to ask around, maybe someone here on the forums could help you out.
