Technical and historical description of the Sukhoi Su-22 Fitter

The Sukhoi Su-22 Fitter is a fighter-bomber used primarily by Warsaw Pact countries, as well as nations in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The aircraft was developed from the Su-17 design, created by the USSR in the 1960s. Its defining feature is the revolutionary variable-geometry wing mechanism and extensive avionics systems, allowing for efficient operation in both strike and reconnaissance missions. The Su-22 was widely used from the late 1970s to the present day, including by the Polish Air Force and the air forces of over a dozen other countries.

The book thoroughly documents not only the external appearance of the aircraft but also interior details — the cockpit in single- and two-seat versions, ejection seats, technological cross-sections, wing mechanisms, engine, and key maintenance systems. An extensive technical servicing section features numerous never-before-published photographs from the Świdwin Air Base (Polish Air Force base).
