MiG-27 is an extention of the MiG-23 family. MiG-23B was the first move towards what later was redesignated MiG-27. I never bothered to distinguish between the many offshoots.

It's easy. MiG-23BN has the same complex intake vanes like all fighter Floggers. MiG-27s have simple fixed intakes and therefore the whole mechanism replaced by short fixed vanes.

Another way to tell them apart is buy looking at the weapons pylons. The two forward fuselage stations on the MiG-27 were moved under each air intake while on the MiG-23 series they are inboard on the center fuselage itself. I presume this was done to allow the MiG-27 to carry larger stores on those locations.

One question, how does the vapor trail at wing tips form and why does it look so smooth and symmetric ?
