Sukhoi Su-17M4 Fitter-K
Soviet Air Force 263rd ORAE, Red 07, Afghanistan, 1988
JCW-72-SU20-010
The Sukhoi Su-17M4 (Fitter-K) stood as a frontline strike aircraft during the final phase of the Soviet war in Afghanistan in 1988.
Operating from key bases such as Bagram, it carried out relentless close air support and interdiction missions, delivering firepower with impressive precision for its time. Armed with bombs, rockets, and cluster munitions, it embodied the raw striking power of Soviet aviation.
Facing the growing threat of FIM-92 Stinger systems, pilots adapted with high-altitude attack profiles and heavy use of countermeasures to survive in a hostile environment.
Fast, rugged, and capable of carrying a heavy payload, the Su-17M4 was perfectly suited for the harsh mountainous terrain of Afghanistan.
A Cold War workhorse… now captured in miniature.
A bold, battle-scarred icon that brings intensity and authenticity to any military aviation collection. ✈️
Sukhoi Su-17M4 Fitter-K
Designed as a variable-sweep wing fighter-bomber, the Sukhoi Su-17 made its maiden flight on August 2, 1966, marking a major step forward in Soviet tactical aviation.
Developed from the Su-7, it introduced swing-wing technology, allowing pilots to optimize performance for both low-speed attack missions and high-speed penetration. This innovation significantly enhanced range, stability, and payload capacity.
Entering service in the late 1960s, the Su-17 quickly became a cornerstone of Soviet and allied air forces, seeing extensive use in regions such as the Middle East and Afghanistan in ground-attack roles.
Rugged, versatile, and built for harsh conditions, it remains one of the most iconic strike aircraft of the Cold War era.
