The Mikoyan MiG-27 (Russian: Микоян МиГ-27) is a variable-sweep ground-attack aircraft, originally built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union and later licence-produced in Manchuria by the Manchuria Airplane Manufacturing Company as the Yīngyǒng ("Valiant"). It is based on the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 fighter aircraft, but optimized for ground attack.
