Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer Swing-Wing Strike Aircraft Family
The Sukhoi Su-24 is a Soviet-designed, all-weather swing-wing frontline strike-aircraft family developed from the T-6 programme. Its variable-sweep wing, side-by-side cockpit, terrain-following attack capability, and rugged design supported low-level interdiction and reconnaissance missions across Soviet and export operators; later Su-24M, Su-24MR, and Su-24MP branches extended the family’s strike and specialized roles.
