charlespattison Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I can't locate any pictures showing the wind placement of national markings, just those on the fuselage. Anyone have pictures, including the standard camo schemes? Also, did Iraq use MiG 27s in the Gulf War and/or the war with Iran? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The triangle markings on the wings were placed in a way that top of the triangle was facing forward when the wings weren't swept back - 16° if I'm correct. My English is bad, don't know how to explain it in other words... I'll try to find you a photo... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Also, did Iraq use MiG 27s in the Gulf War and/or the war with Iran? Iraq never used the MiG-27, AFAIk, they flew the decidedly less advanced MiG-23BN. HTH, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jabba29 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) The Iraqi Air Force never had the MiG 27, only the MiG 23BN. As for the wing insignia I have looked in the Harpia book about the Iraqi Air force and it shows the underside of a MiG 23MS showing the triangle pointing forwards when the wings are swept fully back.
