Historical and Technical Information

The Su-24M Fencer-D is the export version of the fighter-bomber that debuted in the 1970s, at the height of the Cold War. Developed by the Soviet Union, it was used by numerous Eastern Bloc countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Syria, and Iran. The aircraft played a significant role in military conflicts such as the war in Afghanistan, military operations in Chechnya, and actions in the Middle East.

The Su-24M features variable-sweep wings for maneuverability at different speeds and a wide range of underwing armament: rockets, bombs, and guided missiles. This design was a mainstay of Soviet air forces from the 1970s through modern times, although its significance is slowly diminishing today.
