Part two of same model. The real aircraft had two kill marks, one VPAF An-2 shot down early in the Vietnam War in 1966 (yellow star), while the black MiG-17 silhouette was corresponds to a confirmed kill in March 1972 by a different crew.

It looks like this North Korean MiG-23ML is equipped with PKVP-23 ventral pylon which has a built-in flare dispenser. Usually you only see these on MiG-23MLDs.

MiG-23ML or MiG-23MLA?
A pedantic🧵
I see a lot of people using the term "MiG-23MLA" when referring to the MiG-23ML equipped with Sapfir-23MLA radar. To be fair, I've also noticed a few former pilots/mechanics using this term to differentiate between the MiG-23ML/Sapfir-23ML & MiG-23ML/Sapfir-23MLA.
