The Sukhoi Su-17M3 was one of the most important modifications of the Soviet strike and fighter-bomber aircraft developed by the renowned Sukhoi Design Bureau.

The aircraft featured variable-sweep wings, providing excellent performance at both low and high speeds. It was used in many armed conflicts, including by Soviet forces in Afghanistan and by armies of Soviet equipment-exporting countries in the Middle East and Africa. The Su-17M3 was a key component of the USSR Air Force's strike force, and thanks to modern avionics and the capability to carry a wide range of weapons, it played a crucial role in the tactical air superiority of the Eastern Bloc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eModel Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/72\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: \u003cstrong\u003eUSSR, Eastern Bloc countries\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eService period: \u003cstrong\u003eCold War, 1970s–1990s\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-quality plastic\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExtras: \u003cstrong\u003eassembly instructions, decals, photo-etched parts\u003c\/strong\u003e (depending on the kit contents)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: \u003cstrong\u003eplastic model kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDimensions when assembled: length approx. 28 cm, wingspan variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe kit \u003cstrong\u003edoes not include glue or paints\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Model?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eModelsvit 72044 Su-17M3 is an excellent choice for modelers looking for a challenge, as well as for enthusiasts of Soviet aviation and Cold War history.
