Soviet 92nd Fighter Air Regiment arrived at Pápa airbase Hungary in 1979

In the second half of the 1970s, the Soviet Union instructed the countries of the Warsaw Pact to purchase new weapon systems. For example one battalion T-72 ‘Ural’ medium tank and one squadron MiG-23MF ‘Flogger-B’ tactical fighter aircraft type.

In 1978 the Soviet 92nd Fighter Air Regiment’s flight arrived at Pápa air base Hungary,  to present the MiG-23M Flogger-B’ type to the local crew of the Hungarian 47th Home Air Defence Regiment. At this time the Hungarian 47th regiment used older MiG-21bis ‘Fishbed-L/N’ interceptor aircraft.
