The Sukhoi Su-24, which achieved operational status during the Cold War, is a Soviet all-weather tactical bomber accommodating two pilots. Measuring 22.5 meters long with a 17.6-meter wingspan and twin engines, this aircraft achieves 1,654 km/h. The Su-24 represents Soviet emphasis on low-level penetration bombing capability, incorporating variable-geometry wings and sophisticated terrain-following avionics. Its twin-pilot configuration provides division of labor for navigation and weapons delivery. The Su-24 remains operational across numerous nations and continues relevant in contemporary conflicts.
