Prototype aircraft – some historical facts

The Su-17 (NATO: Fitter) is a Soviet supersonic fighter-bomber with variable-sweep wings. The M3 and M4 variants were widely used by the air forces of the USSR and other Warsaw Pact countries, as well as exported to countries like Poland, East Germany, Vietnam, and Libya. These aircraft participated in numerous military conflicts from the 1970s through the late 1980s, during the Cold War. Key aspects of the M3/M4 versions include upgraded weapon systems and equipment, notably the drag parachute allowing landings on short runways.
