I do not believe the Vietnamese (aka, mini-Chinese) ever received any MiG-23s. could be Soviet 23s stations in Cam Ranh though.

I'm a Russia jet fan but why does this comparo always get made ? The Mig 23 was one heavy ugly dangerous machine. And there's lots of other aircraft to compare to

The MiG-23 could accelerate like a demon and could pull 8.5Gs in its lightened form. Not great at BVR and miserably short legs but I think it's a tad underrated in a dogfight.
