F-15 was designed to counter the Mig-25 at first. Tehn they learned more about the MIG-25 after the F-15 had been built

That MIG-23 is quite messed up.What version it is?
-
Another name for the Mig-23 is also the "poors man's phantom".
-
The double cockpit on these MiG-23U's has an F-4:esque appearance to it, I love it!
-
@jucoco1 - Correct me if I'm wrong, but the CF-18 demo team sounds like an American demo. The Snowbirds sound just the same.
-
only if it was a F-14.....but its still amazing that a MiG-23 is civilian owned
-
Why do Americans insist on WWE Commentators for air show's?
-
That's a damn short take off roll for a jet. Gotta love that variable geometry.
-
double barrel = supersonic jet

I know this Mig-23 as I see it every Sunday morning when I groundcrew for the Mig-21 and L-39 we launch. Hopefully she fly again someday.

NATO used their own names for Russian aircraft and weapons, AFAIk. They chose names based on the type of vehicle. So fighter jets began with an F: Flogger, Fulcrum, and so on. Bombers with a B: Bear, Backfire and so on. I seem to remember that they also had a reason for using double barrel names, but I don't know about that.
Wow... even I didn't know that!
