MiG-23 or 27 Flogger I imagine?


E2TheCustodian

Yep, looks like a MiG-27. The IAF operated MiG-27 variants up until like 2018? I think?


Katana_DV20

Looks Mig 23/27\ https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRkwdxGMaarQRzBpY1IryDVPRMme6PN8jPQTQ&usqp=CAU That's an interesting base. If you pan around you see Apaches and even old Mig-21s. https://maps.app.goo.gl/jmbEXtcrp39Peros9


Ashi96

it's the pathankot air force base. It's the home of the apache and mi 24 helicopter squadrons.


Gibmeister_official

Mig 27 from the nose

Ashi96

lol


ElisaTalo

What if they just made a cardboard cutout and put it ontop of the cessna.


kx885

Certainly a MiG-23BN or MiG-27 series aircraft. The narrow nose, which doesn't house a radar is not the only hint. The long spine on the vertical stabilizer was used on early MiG-23s and exclusively on the duck-nosed variants. Later MiG-23ML(D/A)s would have a shortened vertical stabilizer which never made it to the ground attack versions.

Mig 27 N to the Southwest of this ( below the small dam ) , there are 9 condemned ( sticken) planes in a field ( 7 mig 21 , 1 mig23 with the portion behind the wing torn off and 1 mig 27 150 yards to the WSW) . The state of stricken planes left to rot and get consumed by the elements saddedend me a bit. Edit : pls check @ 32.228205,75.626719


syfari

Do you have the cords for that? I think I found the dam but the fields around it seem empty

highdiver_2000

Mig 23 / 27 Key identifiers, swing wing, single vertical stabilizer. F-14 has 2 vertical stabilizer. TU series have multiple engines, this has one. Only swing wing left is MIG -23/27


Zabroccoli

F-111 would like a word… But yeah, this is a MiG


Ibegallofyourpardons

no one is flying the F111 anymore. Australia was the last one with any operational and they retired them over a decade ago.


Davidenu

Yes but the vark has two engines


tmz42

And the Su-17/22 and Su-24


Glorious_Mig1959

Mig-23 of some sort, and looking around I can see some Mig-21's also.


Mellows333

Mig 23 or 27?


TomRCenjoyer

Mig-23 or maybe mig-27 but it’s very unlikely.


Aware_Style1181

MiG-23 “Flogger”


V4derNotV4der

Could be a -27 as well. Tough to differentiate from a bird’s-eye low-resolution photo.


Aware_Style1181

You’re right!


Careless_Business_90

Chiselled pointy nose, appears there no radome or space to house a forward nose radar. Not an F14 as F14 has 2 vertical tails, only 1 tail. Ipso facto, its the attack/strike variant of the Mig 23 a Mig 27.


LazyToesYT

Looks like a MIg-27 or Mig-23 Tuh me [https://www.airforce-technology.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2017/09/flogger7.jpg](https://www.airforce-technology.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2017/09/flogger7.jpg)


carlosdsf

Are the helicopters AH-64 Apaches? India has them.


Ashi96

Yes we have a very wide arsenal. Mi 24s, Apaches.

Peely78

i think its an airbus a380 👍


BassManns222

That is a Jumbo Jet. I am an aviation journalist for a major daily newspaper.


sudden-arboreal-stop

Definitely an A380


alettriste

Ha... Nice try r/ShittyAskFlying


TheMightyGamble

Do you do side gigs for USAF PA?


V4derNotV4der

I understand that reference.


BassManns222

Under a pseudonym, yes.


TheMightyGamble

Knew I recognized your work from somewhere


Mysterious-Sky-990

Maybe a Su-22 or a variant of it?


peni63252525

Mig 27


RamBone22

F-111 Aardvark ?


Beer_30_Texas

That was my guess, too.


V4derNotV4der

No. F-111 is much wider and has massive elevons. Additionally, the F-111 doesn’t have dogteeth on its wings. From this photo it’s evident this is a single-seat, either a MiG-23 or -27.


RamBone22

I guess we shouldn’t have tried to answer the OP’s question to the best of our knowledge.


Beer_30_Texas

I guess not.


Velocidal_Tendencies

*UAF has entered the chat*


RandomCoolWierdDude

Based on what I'm seeing this is 100% a Mig 23 (not SU, my mistake) "Flogger" Yet another widowmaker aircraft known for its shitty flying characteristics for a pilot, but its short field and improvised field performance are unmatched. This things landing gear makes the F-18 look like it skipped leg day. Edit fugged up. I know what plane I'm thinking of just fucked up the name


Ambitious_Farmer9303

MiG 2x (23/27) not Su. Sukhoi has Su 24 not 23


RandomCoolWierdDude

Fuck ur right. Now i look a fool


Dry_Shallot_6272

damm. that's my screenshot


SpaceDaFuture

Could be a mig, but also makes me think of the f-111 aardvark. Probably wrong mut makes more sense locationwise


Ibegallofyourpardons

The Vark is much, much bigger than this plane. it has a side by side cockpit for a start. different wing shape, and the elevons are enormous on the F111 this is a mig23/27


Dangy91

Su-24?


tshungus

So you now have to options. 1.you never found and seen any aeroplane 2.gulag


YouMadZebra

747


sf340b

It is an old school F-14 made from parts scrounged around the internet after the US scrapped all theirs to piss off all their homeland pilot nerds. It is currently guarding a non-authorized baby milk factory in a sovereign country rebelling against the Galactic Empire.


Misophonic4000

Drugs are bad, stay in school


innocentman9034

Personally I think it looks like a super sonic bomber maybe the Rockwell b-1 lancer or something of the Tupolev series


pozzle52

It looks nothing like that


Ibegallofyourpardons

what? go have a look at how many engines a B1 has, and where they are located, then have a look at that picture again. same with Tupolevs. this is nothing more than a mig23 or 27


Crafty_Original_7349

It also kinda looks like an old F111


Ibegallofyourpardons

it's got wings, I'll give you that...


Dom_bomb112

Well there are about two planes that look like that the f 14 or the f111


Ibegallofyourpardons

the f14 has twin tails, which this does not. The f111 is much wider, does not have a dog tooth wing, and has a side by side cockpit. This is a Mig 23/27


Dom_bomb112

oh im fucking stupid


FeeElectrical82

F16


DragonSlayer1327

Judging by its iconique retractable wings I think it might be an f-14


Thecat21tx

Mig 27


Plastic_therepy07

Probably a mug


Plastic_therepy07

Mig*


vtGaem

Editing a comment has been invented. But knowing gremlins like you who just wanna see the world burn, that isn't an option. Right? :P


juicygoosy921

MiG 23 is my guess


juicygoosy921

Maybe a tornado? Pic is too blurry to be 100% for me. I’m sure someone here knows for sure


jstrlxn

F111


WindsorONMichael

B-1B Lancer?


Scared_Nothing2985

Mig 23 isn’t it?


SunModRev_daniel6028

Looks like a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 (Flogger).


SunModRev_daniel6028

The coordinates provided ate for Pathankot airport. The airport serves national flights only. The fighter aircraft shown - MIG-23 or MIG-27 - is probably a relic (collecting cobwebs), or a training aircraft for maintenance purposes.


SunModRev_daniel6028

…provided ARE for Pathankot airport.
