Short historical description:
The MiG-23MLD is an upgraded version of the Soviet multi-role fighter MiG-23, which entered service in the late 1970s and saw extensive use in the 1980s. The chaff and flare dispenser was a crucial self-defense component, protecting the aircraft during military operations from IR- and radar-guided missiles. The MiG-23MLD was operated by, among others, the USSR Air Force in Afghanistan and later became part of the air forces of many former Eastern Bloc countries.

We recommend this detail to all modelers seeking an accurate representation of the combat version of the MiG-23MLD, especially Cold War aviation enthusiasts and collectors of aircraft diorama details. This set works perfectly both as a subtle detail and in action dioramas featuring the aircraft. It's an excellent choice for modelers striving for greater realism compared to the standard kit version.
