I think only India has the MiG-27 aside from Russia, and Libya's air force had quite a few MiG-23s -- lately using them in ground attacks against the rebels.

MiG-27 is a fairly uncommon plane.

Libya doesn’t operate MiG-27. They operate MiG-23BNs. The BN has the drooped nose of the MiG-27 variant.

Conflicting reports on various news agencies. Some are claiming that it was a rebel operated MiG-23 shot down by Gadaffi forces. I’ve seen video evidence from a week ago of several MiG-23BNs in rebel hands.
