SU-24 mig 27 does not have radome.

Actually it does, just a much smaller oddly shaped one. I don't know the function of whatever is behind it. The -27 has a much more tapered nose, providing better over the nose visibility in the ground attack role.

Mig-23

Mig-27.

Mig-27s may still be production in India.

Its not a radome for air to air radar, its a laser target designator for ground attack.
