Pepelev Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Hello all, I've re-written my S-32MK post, and included stats and figures, service career and operators!! Happy reading!
Gepard Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 The LSK, the AirForce of the GDR, East Germany definitly never used the Su-20, because at the end of the 70th no Sukhoi jets were used. To buy Sukhoi planes would need a completly new infrastructure. Because the MiG-23MF was coming in 1978, the acquisition of MiG-23BN was the call of the day. Later, when the MiG-23BN proofed as pure dumb iron dropper, the LSK started to search for a new fighterbomber. So we got the Su-22M4 and the Su-22UM-3K. For this birds a completly new airbase was built. (Rostock-Laage)

They used the Su-7B during war with Pakistan. And Iraq would also a buyer for such a plane. The LSK had had a "MiG-only" philosophy at this time.

I was going off usesers that could have bought it, LSK for a mig-17 replacement in the attack role and a temporary stop gap before the Su22s
Stratos Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Is a interesting story, and a cool plane. Maybe one day will make its way to Sf2.

You could use an available Fitter-model, deactivate the swingwings and add some pylons and stuff via fakepilot. Seems to be not to complicated from a first view.
