About this aircraft

• Su-22M4s were delivered to East Germany in the mid-1980s, and following German reunification, some of them were transferred to the Bundeswehr’s military-technical test center for aviation (WTD61). This version of the Su-22M4 is distinguished from the standard model by its unique camouflage. Like its Soviet counterpart, the Su-17M4, the Su-22M4 boasts strong flight performance and carries an extensive array of countermeasures; however, it also has access to an even wider range of external weaponry, including TV-guided Kh-29T air-to-surface missiles and all-aspect R-60MK air-to-air missiles.
