I thought as much. I figured someone knowledgeable about aircraft like you, Schroeder or others in the forum would figure it out and correctly Identify the aircraft. I didn't know about the variable intake ramps missing on the MiG 27 though. I know they are there for aiding in compression at supersonic speeds.
I'm guessing they were not needed on a dedicated attack aircraft like the MiG 27 flying subsonic attack missions ?
