The Sukhoi Su-17 (NATO reporting name: "Fitter") and its export version Su-22 are among the most recognizable attack aircraft widely used in Warsaw Pact countries and numerous nations in the Middle East, Africa, and South America. From the late 1960s to the present day, these planes have participated in both Cold War and regional conflicts, such as the Afghan War (1979–1989), wars in the Middle East, as well as operations in Iraq and Syria. The greatest advantage of this aircraft series was their durability, ability to operate from unprepared airfields, and variable geometry wings, making them versatile combat platforms. The Su-22 remained a standard asset of the Polish combat air force until the 21st century.
