I have corrected myself: from 3.2) proposed new loadout for warsaw pact ones I have deleted proposal for bombs FAB-250M-62. I have clear evidence for Bulgarian (see sources) and Czechoslovak FAB-500M-62 and I believe that East Germans got them too. But I have checked again some czech sources and I actually could not find FAB-250M-62 in czechoslovak inventory so I have deleted it from the proposal.
Looking more to nuclear bombs which would be available to non-soviet warsaw pact countries in case of ww3 - they trained with IAB-500 training bomb imitating 8U49 nuclear bomb which is RN-28. Original post edited so RN-28 is requested instead of RN-40.

Summary of Changes
Suggested corrections to all MiG-23BN (Flogger H) entries for both DB3K and CWDB:
1) Setting arc of internal DECM (SPS-141/142/143 Gvozdika and/or SPS-141M Siren) to cover only frontal 180°
2) Remove chaff / flare dispenser"KDS-23 x 2" from all MiG-23BN (except iraqi entry 1367 in DB3K as this entry represents somehow upgraded variant)
3.1) Correction to maximum weapons load (currently 4 metric tons)
MiG-23BN can carry maximum of 3 metric tons of ordnance - see comment "Total external load was up to 3,000 kilograms" again here: https://www.airvectors.net/avmig23_2.html
