Primary Users...?

I understand why the Russian Air Force is considered a primary user (because it obviously has the most of these planes), but what makes Iran, Syria and Afganistan primary users and not Ukraine who has (according to the "Ukrainian Air Force" article) 200 Su-24s while Iran, Syria and Afganistan have next to none. bogdan 02:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

F-111 Copy?

Latest comment: 17 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I ran into a forum that claimed the Su-24 was built as a dead copy of the F-111, but Yefim Gordon's book basically shoots holes in that idea. The original T-6 prototype with the fixed wings clearly looked like a derivative of the Su-15 "Flagon", scaled up and with side-by-side seating, and the Su-24 was basically the same aircraft with the VG wings added. That the Soviets liked the idea of the VG wings and took considerable inspiration from the F-111 is not to be doubted, but the idea that the Su-24 was a copy doesn't fit the facts -- the two machines were completely different at the detail level.

Well, starting this project URSS wanted something similart to a TSR.2 when the aircraft was modiphied with VG. Not a copy, but a 'directly inspirate' and equivalent.--Stefanomencarelli 15:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

It seems like the Su-24 did indeed take part in the bombings. In this Washington Post picture gallery you'll see in picture #20 a Su-24: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2008/08/08/GA2008080802276.html?sid=ST2008081002626 Assuming the caption is correct, it is proof of the Su-24 being one of the bombers used in the conflict —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.67.167.60 (talk) 16:11, 11 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

According to detailed article on Storozhevoy case, Yak-28 were used to bomb the Storozhevoy, not Su-24.
