Although the Tu-16 began as a high-altitude, free-fall bomber, in the mid-1950s it was equipped to carry early Soviet cruise missiles.
The Tu-16KS (Badger-B) version could carry AS-1 missiles over a combat radius of 1,800 km (1,125 mi).
These very large weapons were aerodynamically similar to the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 fighter,
fitted with either a nuclear or conventional warhead, had a range of about 140 km (90 mi).
They were intended for use primarily against US Navy aircraft carriers and other large surface ships.
Subsequent Tu-16s were converted to carry later, more advanced missiles, while their designations changed several times.
A versatile design, the Tu-16 was built in numerous specialized variants for reconnaissance, maritime surveillance,
electronic intelligence gathering (ELINT), and electronic warfare (ECM).
A total of 1,507 aircraft was constructed in three plants in the Soviet Union, in 1954–1962.
They were exported to Egypt, Iraq and Indonesia.
Egypt: 20 Tu-16KS; 6 Tu-16T; 20 Tu-16KRS2/K-11; Tu-16R
Indonesia: 25 Tu-16KS
IRAQ: 8 Tu-16; 8 Tu-16K-11

The Sukhoi Su-7 (NATO designation name: Fitter-A) was a swept wing, supersonic fighter aircraft developed by the Soviet Union in 1955.
Originally, it was designed as tactical, low-level dogfighter, but was not successful in this role.
On the other hand, soon-introduced Su-7B series became the main Soviet fighter-bomber and ground-attack aircraft of the 1960s.
The Su-7 was rugged in its simplicity but its shortcomings included short range and low weapon load.
It had 4 hardpoints, later implemented to 6. This pack portrays both early and later version for each BM/BKL/BMK types.
 
What's in:
 
Su-7 [DLC AI planes 2]
Su-7B
Su-7BM (4 & 6 hardpoints)
SU-7BKL (4 & 6 hardpoints) [new]
Su-7BMK (4 & 6 hardpoints)
 
All flyables (the stock ones only reading flagged but with restore file for after patch edits)
 
Each with new/stock fixed/old edited/restored skins & proper historical decalset
 
sound & pilots
 
canopy open = 10 key
 
improved weaponloads
 
tweaked userlists (Su-7BM: LSK fake skin removed - Soviet '75 Camo left only for fun)
 
left/right wing red/green lights issue solved.
 
For IAF Su-7BMK / type 22: please D/L specific plane.

---------New decals
 
And other minor changes (all not remember :))

Realizing the limited capabilities in the Su-15 Flagon A, the USSR soon realized, of changes to be made to the plane, a new cranked delta wing was used, with the improved Taifun-M radar (NATO "Twin Scan") and provision for UPK-23-250 gun pod or R-60 (AA-8 "Aphid") short-range air-to-air missiles.
 
Aerodynamic demands forced a redesign of the radome with an ogival shape, earning a new NATO reporting name, "Flagon-F" (some info taken by Wikipedia)
 
*****The SF2 Plane*****
 
Again this is a revamp of Boopidoo`s Flagon F, few details in the inis were changed. thanks to Boopidoo to include this important red bird.
 
A new set of high 4096x4096 resolution has been added, some stenciling was added too, with a new template made by me, again, available if you want it.
 
AA-3C and AA-3D have been tweaked by Snailman and the UPK-23-250 has been reskined by me.
 
If i forgot to credit anyone here i beg my apologies, please let me know and i will update it.
 
Hope you have fun with this more capable plane, now you have the chance to shoot back if your interception is intercepted :D

Sukhoi Su-15TM Flagon-F v2.02 For SF2
 
by Boopidoo and team
 
---History---
The Sukhoi Su-15 was developed primarily because of the Soviet Unions great need for a capable high-speed high-altitude interceptor in the 1950's. The Sukhoi design bureu was tasked with the construction of the swept-wing S-1 tactical fighter and the delta-winged T-3 interceptor.
 
The Su-1 'Fitter' which first flew in 1955 later developed into the Su-7 which in turn developed into the very successful Su-17,20,22 variable wing geometry attack aircrafts.
 
The T-3 on the other hand developed into the Su-7 'Fishpot'. Unfortunately the Su-9 lacked performance in both operational range as well as radar range. This led to the development of the Su-15 'Flagon', not counting the half-failure of Su-11 (a bigger version of the Su-9). The Su-15 after lots of prototypes first flew operationally in 1965. During it's operational time it guarded the Soviet Unions borders right up until the desintegration of the USSR.
 
Production of the T-model began in 1971 and that later became TM with the modernised Taifun-M radar. The Su-15 had at this point evolved with extended wings to lower the high approroach speed and a spherical nosecone to make room for the bigger radar. The TM also had smaller inner weapon pylons under the wings to carry R-60 (AA-8 APHID) missiles, this was done to satisfy the need of a dogfighting capability. To further increase it's overall capability the under fuselage pylons were upgraded to being able to carry gunpods, attack rockets, rocket pods and bombs up to 500kg. Since only the gunpods has been used and has a functional fire-control system the other loadouts options must be seen as theoretical, although the carrying capability's still there.
 
 
---Install guide---
Simply extract the contents of the Su-15TM folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 folder.
Chaff and flares have been added so you can spend more time flying, and less time dying!

SF2 Soviet Transport and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
 
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's Soviet/WarPac Transport and AWAC aircraft.
It is REQUIRED that you have SF2NA in your merged install, as several of these reference
the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12 destroyed
model. Hence, the need for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you won't
have the dead wreckage on the ground. Also, the AWAC versions use the "AEW" avionics
coding from SF2NA.
 
Included in the pak are remods of:
 
An-22 Cock
A-50 Mainstay AWAC
IL-76 Candid
Tu-114 Cleat (Aeroflot airliner)
Tu-126 Moss AWAC
 
Aircraft that were exported have userlist inis included (ie: the Il-76). Any that I
missed, End Users ™ are encouraged to 'fill in the blanks', and post those changes.
All avionics, in particular for the AWACs, have been brought up SF2NA standards at the
July 2012 patch level. New sounds for the prop engines are included. Although cockpits ARE
included for all aircraft, really people...let the AI handle them. They exist for 2
reasons: eye candy and targets.
Skins remain in their bmp format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE. All decals
reference stock markings, including the Bort numbers. New damage textures are supplied, in
DDS format.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, in particular on operational usage.
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions
in several of the inis, you may wish to examine them, mostly in respect to SF2NA, you may wish
to replace the originals with these.
 
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems
that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be
created**.
 
Happy Landings!

IL-38 "May"
The Il-38 is an adaptation of the four-engined turboprop Ilyushin Il-18 for use as a maritime patrol aircraft for the Soviet Navy. It meets a requirement to counter American ballistic missile submarines. The Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of Ministers issued a joint directive on 18 June 1960, calling for a prototype to be ready for trials by the second quarter of 1962. The fuselage, wing, tail unit and engine nacelles were the same as the Il-18 and it had the same powerplant and flightdeck. An aerodynamic prototype of the Il-38 first flew on 28 September 1961,with the first production aircraft following in September 1967. Production continued until 1972, when the longer range and more versatile Tupolev Tu-142 derivative of the Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bomber had entered service.

Between 1962 and 1972 the MiG-21F-13 version was manufactured under license by Aero Vodochody, in Czechoslovakia.
Aero Vodochody (then Stredoceské strojírny, n.p.), built a total of 194 planes during this period, under the cover designation article Z-159.
It followed the MiG-15 and MiG-19S built in Vodochody factory from the fifties to sixties.
The sole locally built version of the MiG-21F-13 differed externally from the Soviet-built examples by the solid dural sheet fairing behind the cockpit canopy, as opposed to the transparent one on the original Soviet MiGs.
These machines were built for the Czechoslovak Air Force and also for export (26 EAF; 8 SyAF). The R13-300 engines were imported from the Soviet Union.
 
 
What's in:
 
 
- a new SF-2 plane;
- 11 new skins: 7 CVL (4 silver, 2 Camo, 1 Red); 2 EAF (2 Camo); 2 SyAF (2 Camo);
- Historical decalsets with some special planes badges too;
- open canopy 10 key auto closing at take off;
- pilot
- "real" sound;
- New screens;
- loadout.tga;
 
Credits:
 
 
- TMF - The Mirage Factory SF1 model;
- Kukulino - SF1 famous planes skins;
- The Trooper - pilot;
- Comrad - great pit repaint;
- Horus3K - Killmarks for EAF/SyAF;
- Paulopanz - Skins, Decals, pilots, edits;
 
Install:
 
- all mod folder content in your mod install
- overwrite
 
An old job completed.
Enjoy.
 
@ paulopanz
 

This is the Mirage Factory original model updated for SF-2, with my decalset and Spillone's soundtrack, folowing Sandesh hints.
 
I think is useful for new Arthur's 1965 campaign to portrait n. 28 Squadron line up.
 
All credits to Mirage Factory.
 
Put all in main mod folder.
 
Enjoy.

Tu-22M3 Backfire-C for SF2
 
This mod package contains the Tu-22M3 from HoneyFox/Insky Group, updated and converted to SF2 standards. Included are all the effects, weapons, sounds, pilots, and seats that you will need to install and use the aircraft in this package.
 
This aircraft can be used in SF2, SF2E, SF2V, or SF2I. To install and use it, you should ensure that your SF2 installation is patched to at least the Dec2009 patch level. See below for installation instructions.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
To install, simply drag the \Effects, \Flight, \Objects, and \Sounds folders to your SF2 Mods Folder (NOT the folder that the game installs to). By default your Mod Folder should be located here:
 
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
 
...where [username] is the account you log into within Windows and [Game] is the name of the particular game mod folder that you're moving the files to. If the aircraft is not showing up in your Single Mission Aircraft menu, then you didn't install all the bits correctly.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notes About This Mod
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
In addition to doing the basic work to convert the aircraft for use in SF2, I also made a number of other fixes and additions.
 
1. Fixed non-working tailgun
 
2. Fixed incorrect Afterburner.tga reference
 
3. Added referenced B-1B sounds from B-1B Redux package
 
4. Added correct version of Kh-22
 
5. Added damage texture
 
6. Added B-1B_86 cockpit (replaces C-130J cockpit in the original)
 
7. Adjusted attachment positions for several weapon stations
 
8. Changed Armor.Thickness and StructuralFactor values to more reasonable numbers
 
9. Added new dirty exhaust effect
 
10. Added new Hangar, Loading, & Loadout images
 
11. Added tail numbers to vertical tail
 
12. Other minor fixes/corrections
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Credits & Acknowledgements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
This package largely consists of work done by others and released previously in other packages. All I did was assemble the package, update the bits to SF2 standards, and make a number of fixes, adjustments, and additions (discussed above).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. History:
 
The combat experiences in Vietnam showed, that the RP-21 radar of the MiG-21PF generation was not really satisfying. Very often the pilots detected the target with their eyes earlier than with the radar. The new RP-22 for the next MiG-21 generation was on paper 30% better, but in reality a target in the size of a MiG-21 could be only detected at a range of 7km. So some frontline pilots believed, that the RP-22 radar was only worthless additionally weight and demanded to replace it by the simple radar rangefinder Kvant. So the plane should become lighter and more agile. Further it should get a stronger engine. The MiG-OKB decided to try to use an uprated version of the R-13 which was originaly developed for the Su-15M. This engine was the R-13F2-300 with the same dry thrust like the old R-13-300, but an increased afterburner thrust of 70.2 kN.
In 1969 one (other sources say 2) MiG-21SM were taken from the production line and were refitted to the DF standard. Flighttest were held in 1970 and spring 1971 with satisfying results. But it was decided to cancel this project in favor of the more advanced MiG-21bis.

MiG-21SMF
***********
 
----------------------------------------------------------
I. This mod is written for SF2
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. History:
 
End of the 60th it became obviesly that the MiG-21S needed more thrust. The implementation of the R-13-300 engine and other
improvements made the MiG-21SM. But even this plane was underpowered a little bit. So the MiG-OKB decided to try an uprated
version of the R-13 engine which was originaly developed for the Su-15M. This engine was the R-13F2-300 with the same dry thrust
like the old R-13-300, but an increased afterburner thrust of 70.2 kN.
In 1970 one (other sources say 2) MiG-21SM were taken from the production line and were refitted to the SMF standard. Flighttest
were held in 1970 and 1971 with satisfying results. But it was decided to cancel this project in favor to the more advanced
MiG-21bis.

Yak-38 Vertical 0.98 beta
 
The main reason for me to play Strike fighters 2 is that I can fly a Yak-38 in it )) That how I found this game on the internet. Unfortunately, being an AI plane it was not suitable for player controls... I found Gepard's addon which was the only one out there. It game me a lot of idea I decided to improve the plane's features and game experience. This is a fine tuned or modified collection of everything I could find to improve the plane. Mostly not my work, but I wasted a lot of time to put together and test a working and accurate Yak-38. This was my main and only goal. Try it. Since many things are in testing phase, all feedback is appreciated!
 
Install
 
I tried to include every component I have used with this plane, so it should work with a fresh unmodded SF2 NA. If you have DirX 9 and Win XP (like me), then you also need the IcelandNA modded terrain for XP to be able to play SF2NA on your PC.
Just copy everything into your designated add-on folder and it should work. Beware it may overwrite existing add-on files and components you already have. Check it first, especially weapons.
 
Contents
 
- Paladrian's MiG-21MF cockpit (temporary solution)
- Yak-38 VTOL flyable.
- Yak-38M VTOL flyable.
- Weapons: OFAB-100, 250, 500 etc from SovietBombPack; Kh-23 missiles, UB-8M, UPK-23 gun pod and MBD2 racks from Ordnance Shop II; APU-60-1 rack from Cocos (not yet in use)
- Soviet Pacific Fleet skin (Modified stock skin, set as default)
- Soviet Navy Grey skin (Redrawn stock skin)
- Soviet Northern Fleet skin (Redrawn stock skin)
- Soviet Navy pilot Bright orange overalls (Redrawn Red3202 pilot skin)
- Two loadout.ini for both aircraft, a loadout.VTOL and a loadout.STOL. Overwrite loadout.ini to switch between them as you wish for AI and campaing use.
- Three Kiev_data.ini's one for STOL and one for VTOL style take offs. Use the VTOL loadout file for the VTOL take-off modded Kiev, for safety reasons. The third INI has a "castrated" take off position #1 (Catapult 1) to enable human player VTOL take-off, for Soviet Navy campaigns and missions.
- README FILE with FLIGHT MANUAL included
 
Fixes
 
- Fixed engine thrust vectors and exhaust positions
- Re-added lift engines to fuselage
- Fixed number decals position
- Fixed pylon ordnance positions
- Fixed Ranging Radar and gun pod's aim point
- Fixed Kiev class carrier "catapult positions" and AI aircraft take-off. Now they can use all six takeoff positions, and supports vertical takeoff.
 
Changes
 
- Real thrust data added based on factory data.
- Yak-38 automatic slats by Gepard
- New vertical capable flight model, weight and torque balanced airframe.
- Changed lift engines thrust angle to 80 degrees to the aft.
- Engine thrust toned down by 10% to reflect real payload lifting capabilities.
- Realistic payload choices added. Be warned, pylons are physically capable to hold much heavier payload than the plane can take off with. See payload info at the end of file.
- Modified weapon stations to hold realistic payload
- Removed plane numbers from 01-09 (Those were in use of Yak-38U two seaters)
- Modification of plane numbers. Yak-38 tend to have lower numbers, grey 38M's take higher numbers, and extra easter egg))) (roughly to represent real planes)
 
Added
 
- Reaction control systems to nose, wingtips and aft fuselage.
- Added gunpod station, exclusively for VSPU-36 (modeled by StationSpecific modified UPK-23)
- Added choice of droptank (Uses Mig-17 400liter tanks currently)
- Manual wing fold anim (Animation key 1 - Shift 1)
- Skins and numbers
- Dedicated engine sound
- Yak-38M alternate sights with rangebar and CCIP (MiG-27, Su-25 style) !!BETA!!
- Yak-38 model without recirculation dams on fuselage (Info from Peter2 and TK)
- Added Siren-I ECM system to Yak-38
- Added Gvozdika ECM system to Yak-38M
 
Kiev class aircraft cruiser new features
 
- Kiev_data_STOL.ini for short take offs (default)
- Kiev_data_VTOL.ini for vertical take offs (recommended for operating helicopters)
- Kiev_data_Player.ini for disabling Catapult #1 to enable free vertical take off by player aircraft or helicopter.
- Extra parking places added
- 6 working launch places (catapults)
- Fake arrestor cables untouched, they are needed for fake hooks used by AI Yak-38s.
 
Overwrite Kiev_data.ini with the desired file.
 
**************************************************************
 
Work in progress list
 
- Yak-38M red, blue and white numbers for the late version grey skin to represent actual rare planes.
- VSPU-36 Gunpod model
- Avionics refinement for Yak-38M
- Soviet Desert Camo (Afghanistan) (Redrawn stock skin)
- Cockpit for both Yak-38 and Yak-38M

Lavochkin La-17n and La-17R for Strike Fighters 2
 
La-17n:
Ground launch conversion of the basic La-17 target drone equipped with RD-900 ramjet engine.
 
La-17R:
Ground launched reconnaisance version with stretched fuselage, camera bay and powered by an RD-9BK turbojet.
 
 
FLIGHT MANUAL:
 
These are drones but you crazy test pilots can fly them and have some fun. :P
 
These La-17s have some unusual features like a double landing gear (skids).
 
By default the drone start on the runway with the retractable gear extended, with the right nose up position for take off. About 20°.
Now, the AI don't make any use of the JATO unit, but you can.
 
TAKEOFF:
Leave the throttle to idle, and activate the JATO with the key used for thrust vectoring the Harrier nozzles down. The rockets will blast you right in the sky and will burn out in about 3 seconds. During this quick process, set the engine thrust to full power. After 5 seconds from the start you can discard the empty rockets by Ctrl-D (Drop tank jettison). Retract the invisible gear and proceed with the mission.
 
Note: for the sake of limitation of the game engine the La-17n have turbojet parameters instead of the true ramjet since the AI can't take off or carefully use an engine that simply offer no thrust at 0 speed and basically the thrust increase directly to the speed. TESTED and DISCARDED.
 
LANDING:
Do not extend the gear, you have skids on the engine belly and on wingtips just like sailplanes.
During final approach, shut down the engine and descend gently with a speed of about 270Km/h. Once close to the ground and about 240Km/h pull up to kill speed and let the drone gently stall. It will still be under control and will descend quite gently upon touch down.
This procedure was applied since the ramjet directly absorbed the impact and limited the damage to the airframe. The engine usually was already good for scrapping by that time anyway.
On the turbojet models there was an airbag to absorb the impact. And the engine on the recon drone was intended to be reused as much as possible.
AI would do just fine using the retractable gear. ;)
 
WARNING!
Both drones are set to SOVIET, in case someone want to have the La-17n target drone set as opponent, you have to change the NationName= in the DATA.INI. But you're still free to fire at friendlies ;)
