Sukhoi Su-7 – Photos & Video

Čaj Sukhoi Su-7 (NATO oznaka ime: Fitter-A) je bio zamahnuto krilo, supersonični borbeni avion razvijen od strane Sovjetskog Saveza u KSNUMKS. Prvobitno je dizajniran kao taktički lovac na niskom nivou, ali nije bio uspešan u ovoj ulozi. S druge strane, ubrzo uvedena serija Su-7B postala je glavni sovjetski lovac-bombarder i napadački avion 1960-ih. Su-7 je bio robustan u svojoj jednostavnosti, ali njegovi nedostaci su uključivali kratak domet i nisko opterećenje oružja.

Čaj 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.
Čaj 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.
