Autor Yefim Gordon, Dmitriy Komissaroven Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 mai 2015
The Su-24 had its baptism of fire in the Afghan War and was also exported to Iraq, Iran, Algeria, Libya and Syria, seeing action in some of these countries. At home, Russian Air Force Su-24s were heavily involved in the first and second Chechen campaigns and the type has undergone a mid-life update allowing it to carry precision-guided munitions, and is still going strong.
Illustrated with over 750 photographs, many previously unpublished, as well as line drawings, color side views, insignia, unit badges and nose art this latest addition to the "Famous Russian Aircraft" series will be of interest to aviation enthusiasts and scale modelers alike.

In this book, the latest in the Famous Russian Aircraft series, the Su-24s protracted development and refinement are fully described in technical detail, weapons, systems and service use. Additionally, there are closely-detailed production lists, operator listings, a review of accident attrition and copious illustrations including around 660 photos, over 120 specially-commissioned color side-views, cutaway and other drawings, plus insignia, unit badges and nose art.
Chapters cover peacetime operations and combat service including the Afghan War and both Chechen campaigns, as well as foreign service including combat action with Iraq, Iran, Algeria, Libya and Syria. With over 1,500 Su-24s built from 1970 to 1993, it looks set to remain in service for at least another decade until sufficient numbers of its successor, the Su-34, can be brought into service. Its importance to the Soviet Union and Russia cannot be overstated.
