The MiG-23 was designed in 1964-66 as a successor to the MiG-21. In addition to a much more powerful engine, the MiG-23’s most significant new feature was its variable sweep wing. Like the USAF’s swing wing F-111, the sweep of the wings could be changed in flight. Fully spread, this gives a shorter take off/landing roll while carrying a heavier weapons load.
