MiG 27D / 32 27 MiG27M/3223 MiG 27L / 32 29L

These three versions were the most advanced of the MiG-27 family. They were all equipped with the upgraded PrNK~23M nav-attack sys­tem, which improved their operating range significantly. Their weaponry includes various containers such as the three-camera recon­naissance pod or SPPU-22 gun pods (for the 23-mm twin-barrel depressible cannon with 260 rounds).

The MiG-27D was equipped with the Klen ("maple") range finder (much more efficient than the MiG-23’s Fone). The MiG-27L (32-29L) was the export version of the МЮ-23М and is built under license by India’s HAL as the Bahadur (“valiant"). Production of 165 machines was launched there in 1984; it seems very likely that this number will increase.
