The MiG-27K fighter bomber aircraft is manufactured by the Moscow Aircraft Production Organization MiG and the Irkutsk Aircraft Production Association Joint Stock Company. Both the MiG-23 fighter aircraft and the MiG-27 fighter bomber aircraft are sometimes referred to by the NATO code name Flogger.
The MiG-27K variant of the MiG-27 family is a variable geometry wing fighter bomber. The primary mission of the aircraft is the destruction of moving and stationary, fixed and mobile ground targets including hardened targets.
The MiG-27K is equipped with the PrNK-23K integrated navigation and aiming system which consists of an Orbita-20-23K airborne digital computer, an optical television indicator with a Kaira-1 laser and television sighting system. The target lock-on range is 7 to 8 kilometres. The Kaira-1 system allows the aircraft to use the guided aerial bombs type KAB-500L and KAB-500KR. The KN-23 navigation system installed on the MiG-27K incorporates a Radical navigation system in place of the RSBN-6s short range radio navigation system. The MiG-27K does not carry any airborne radar.
The aircraft carries three types of air-to-surface missile: the Kh-23M, the Kh-25ML(MP), and the Kh- 29L(T). The Kh-23M air-to-surface missile is one of the group of missiles known by the NATO code name Kerry and designation number AS-7 and which is supplied by the Zvezda-Strela State Research and Production Center, Moscow.
The Kh-25ML is the laser guided version of the Kh-25 air-to-surface missile family, with the NATO designation Kegler AS-12. It is supplied by Zvezda. The missile has a semi-active laser homing head. The range is between 2.5 to 10 kilometres. The missile is equipped with a high explosive (HE) 86 kg warhead and the speed of flight is 400 to 450 metres per second. The Kh-29ML, built by Vympel, is the laser guided version of the Kh-29, NATO designation AS-14 Kedge. The missile uses semi-active laser guidance and has a range up to 10 kilometres. The missile is equipped with a 317 kg penetrating warhead and the flight speed is from 250 to 350 metres per second.
The anti-radar missile is the Kh-27PS. The Kh-27 built by Zvezda is one of the missiles with NATO designation AS-12 Kegler.
The air to air missile carried on the MiG-27K is the R-60M supplied by the Vympel. The missile weighs 43 kg and has the capability to engage targets maneuvering at an acceleration up to 12g. The R-60M has a range of target designation angles to +/- 20 degrees and an infrared homing head with photodetector cooling. Both the R-60 and R-60M carry the NATO reporting name Aphid and code number AA-8.
The aircraft can carry two types of controlled air bombs, the KAB-500L laser guided bomb and KAB- 500KR television guided bomb which are supplied by the Region State Research and Production Enterprise in Moscow. The KAB-500L has semi-active laser homing, weighs 525 kg is armed with a 380 kg high explosive warhead.
The KAB-500KR television guided bomb operates on the "drop and forget" principle. Target lock-on for a parked aircraft is achieved at a range of 15 to 17 kilometres in meteorological visibility distance of 10 kilometres. The warhead can pierce a reinforced concrete barrier up to 1.5 metres thick and average density soil to a depth of 10 metres.
The aircraft can also carry S-24, S-25, S-8, S5 unguided rockets and a range of aerial bombs up to 500 kg size, cluster bombs and incendiary devices.
