Historical Background

The Su-24 “Fencer” is a dedicated all-weather interdiction and ground-attack aircraft introduced in the early 1970s by the Soviet Air Forces. Designed with a variable-sweep wing, advanced avionics for the era, and a heavily armed payload capacity, the Su-24 served as a mainstay in Soviet and later Russian frontline bomber capabilities. Continual improvements over decades of service have kept the Fencer relevant, demonstrating its resilience in various conflict zones as well as modernization programs to match evolving battlefield requirements. By incorporating these color photo-etched components into your Zvezda kit, you honor the Su-24’s enduring legacy as a robust attacker, capturing the technological refinements that have allowed this aircraft to remain a formidable strike platform in Russian and export service.
