Description:
Su-24 is a twin-engine, two-seat, swing-wing, supersonic, low altitude strike aircraft deemed as the Soviet counterpart to American F-111. It was the first Soviet tactical attack aircraft entitled to deliver a wide range of smart/guided bombs and missiles. NATO nicknamed this aircraft as Fencer. It is powered by two AL-21F turbofan engines each rated at 25,000-lb of thrust. Su-24s were deployed by Soviet and Russian forces in Afghanistan and Chechnya.
Su-24M is an improved strike variant and Su-24MK is its export counterpart. Su-24M features in-flight refueling using a nose probe which connects to Il-78 Midas tanker aircraft. Su-24MR is a reconnaissance variant. Su-24MP provides Electronic Warfare (EW) and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities and was produced in small numbers. A dedicated anti-ship was also developed for the Soviet Navy. Russian Air Force Su-24s should be replaced by Su-32/34 tactical fighter-bomber before 2020.
