- "This aircraft is the result of re-engineering the MiG-23B into a specialty air-to-ground attack fighter. Elements such as an extended combat radius and increased armaments ensure this aircraft's reputation as a serious tactical fighter."
- "This attack craft is an improvement to the MiG23. Weaker avionics, but increased stability with the variable sweep wings."
The MiG-27K (NATO reporting name of Flogger J, erroneously called Frogger J in Airforce Delta Storm) is an aircraft that appears in both Airforce Delta Storm and Airforce Delta Strike. It is a version of the MiG-23 designed to be optimized towards air-to-ground combat. It sees use by Rick Campbell and Sergei Kinski.
Design (All Games)[]
Design-wise, it is nearly identical to the MiG-23. The same basic body structure and variable sweep wings of the MiG-23 applies to this plane. The PAL version of Storm has a slightly altered paintjob compared to the US version.
Performance[]
Airforce Delta Storm[]
A semi-decent craft. Its stats are average all around, with decent Defense, Speed and Power and somewhat weak attack. Useful for what it is, but it's outclassed fairly easily. Its below-average range doesn't help this fact very much.
Airforce Delta Strike[]
Again, decent. It has above average mobility and speed, and alright defenses. Although it's an attacker, it can also serve as a fighter if the need calls for it, thanks to its decent mobility. Compared to the other fighter-bombers, this craft has a vulcan, unlike the F-111F and the TSR2. That gives it an edge, somewhat. But its special weapon is less than stellar. Napalm is very weak, and hard to aim properly. Overall, it's okay.

Trivia[]
- In Airforce Delta Strike, in the space levels, this plane's space boosters are mistakenly made invisible.
- The erroneous name in Airforce Delta Storm most likely comes due to translation issues regarding Ls and Rs in the Japanese language, as there is no distinction between the two letters in that language.
- Interestingly, however, the Frogger series is also made by Konami. However, the reference is likely unintentional.
