Kislota Ki-27 |
The Kislota Ki-23 (Slavic:Кислота Ки-27) is a variable-geometry fighter aircraft, designed and manufactured by Kislota in Zloveshchiy. It is a third-generation jet fighter, alongside similar Zloveshchiyian Aircrafts. It was the first Zloveshchiyian fighter to field a look-down/shoot-down radar, the ZP-23 Sapfir, and one of the first to be armed with beyond-visual-range missiles. Today the Ki-23 remains in limited service with some export customers such as Ajakanistan.
