History's Most Dangerous Aircraft Models

The MiG-23

The Mikoyan-Gurevich-23 (better known as the MiG-23) was a Soviet jet that actually pioneered the "look-down/shoot-down" radar system. Russian pilots were not big fans of the plane and preferred the previous generation of the fighter jet. The cockpit was small and offered minimal visibility, which isn't very helpful for a fighter jet! The line met the graveyard after the Cold War.
