Ex-IqAF Mirage F-1EQ

Of all the jets that are currently in active service, these planes probably has the most ironic service history . They now serve the very airforce that they once tried to destroy for a span of four years.

Sukhoi T6

A predecessor to the Su-24 "Fencer", it had a cranked-delta wing and had four Kolesov RD-36-35 liftjets installed in a bay behind the cockpit to achieve STOL capability. However, tests confirmed that the short-field performance was achieved at the cost of significant loss of flight distance as the lift engines occupied space normally reserved for fuel, loss of under-fuselage hardpoints, and instability during transition from STOL to conventional flight. So the lift-engine approach was abandoned in favor to the variable-geometry wings

The Mig-23PD "Faithless

Called "23-01" but also known as the MiG-23PD, was a tailed delta similar to the MiG-21 but with two lift jets in the fuselage. It was created as response to VVS demands for a new aircraft to replace the MiG-21. However, it became apparent very early that this configuration was unsatisfactory, as the lift jets became useless dead weight once airborne. The second prototype, known as "23-11", featured variable-geometry wings which was proved to be much more promising and went on the become the well known Mig-23 "Flogger"

Despite not entering production, the Mig-23PD was nevertheless designated "Faithless" by NATO. Because like its "Faceplate" predecessor, NATO incorrectly assumed that this is the plane that will enter production.
