The -other- Russian gatling gun GSh-6-30 You were talking about
is not in use yet (at least I do not know which aircraft carries
it)

I saw some references to the MiG-27 using the -30...

No. My sources are, among others is website "Russian Aviation Museum",
Article from Military Parade July-August '97, Salamander book "MiGs" with a
nice photo of the gun, from what is obvious it is(they are) 23, NOT 30mm
barrel(s).

....from a six year old article.

Meanwhile, the *current* FAS site mentions the -30 in the MiG.
