Sukhoi Su-7 – nuotraukos ir vaizdo įrašas

2007 Sukhoi Su-7 (NATO pavadinimas: "Fitter-A") buvo 1955 m. Sovietų Sąjungos sukurtas viršgarsinis naikintuvas. Iš pradžių jis buvo sukurtas kaip taktinis, žemo lygio šunų kovotojas, tačiau šis vaidmuo nebuvo sėkmingas. Kita vertus, netrukus pristatyta "Su-7B" serija tapo pagrindiniu 1960-ųjų sovietų kovotojų-bombonešių ir antžeminių atakų lėktuvu. "Su-7" buvo tvirtas savo paprastumu, tačiau jo trūkumai buvo trumpo nuotolio ir mažos ginklų apkrovos.

2007 Sukhoi Su-7 was a Soviet fighter and fighter-bomber aircraft developed in the 1950s. It had a swept wing design with a 60-degree angle and a single air intake in the nose with a movable cone. The Su-7 was powered by a Lyulka AL-7 turbojet engine with afterburner, which gave it a top speed of over 2,000 km/h.
2007 Su-7 was armed with two 30 mm cannons and could carry up to 2,000 kg of bombs, rockets, missiles, or drop tanks on its four hardpoints. The Su-7 entered service in 1959 as a front-line fighter, but it was soon replaced by the more advanced MiG-21. However, the Su-7 found a new role as a ground-attack aircraft, especially after it was modified with stronger landing gear, air brakes, and an automatic terrain-following system. The Su-7B variant became the main Soviet fighter-bomber and ground-attack aircraft of the 1960s, and was widely exported to other countries such as India, Egypt, Iraq, and North Korea.
