The Mig-27 is a dedicated attack aircraft derived from the Mig-23 which first flew in 1972 and was cleared for service in 1973. The aircraft is powered by a single R-29B-300 turbojet engine rated at 25,000-lb of thrust with afterburner. This jet is fitted with a 30mm GSh-6-30 cannon and can load variety of laser-guided bombs and air-to-surface missiles as well as unguided bombs and rockets. The Mig-27D, Mi-27M and Mig-27K are improved versions fitted with a laser designator and advanced navigation system. The Mig-27 was produced under license in India under the Bahadur designation, also referred to as the Mig-27M or Mig-27L.
