Libyan MiG23s destroyed, 4/23/2011.

More damaged fighters, look like MiG23s. Never could tell the difference between a -23 and a -27. Well, these are never going to fly anymore.

The MiG-23 has a standard fighter nose (cone shaped) while the MiG-27 (basically a ground attack variant of the MiG-23) has a duck-billed nose to allow the pilot to have better vision of the ground and things in front of the aircraft.
