1MajorKoenig Posted November 28, 2021 Posted November 28, 2021 Hi all! I admit I have a sweet spot for the Russian Cold War fighter such as the MiG-23 and MiG-25. Nowadays it seems like Algeria is one of the last real operators of the Foxbat. Maybe someone here knows a little more about these? - Are these PDS Variants? - are they downgraded in any way? If so on what way? - and most importantly: I read that they received further upgrades in the 1990s - presumably by Ukrainian companies. Does anyone know what was done and what changed by these? Thanks all!

Imho, friend-foe system was modified/changed. Edited December 1, 2021 by AriX17

Do you know if they did anything with ECM, the Radar, etc.? Do these have an IRST?
