Despite being a heavy aircraft, the MiG-27M has one of the best sustained turning abilities among top tier jets thanks to its variable swept wing design.Ĭompared with its fighter jet version, the MiG-23M, the MiG-27M is slightly heavier and has a lower thrust (despite the difference being very little). This aircraft has an excellent top speed, which means it can speed away from enemy fighters if needed, with flares and chaff assisting in countering incoming missiles.
