JC Wings JCW-72-SU22-001
JC Wings JCW-72-SU22-001 replicates in 1/72 scale diecast the SU-22M (NATO reporting name: Fitter J) of the Libyan Arab Republic Air Force (LARAF), Gulf of Sidra incident, August 19, 1981.
Gulf of Sidra incident (1981)
The first Gulf of Sidra Incident took place August 19, 1981, when two Libyan Su-22 Fitters fired upon two VF-41 “Black Aces” F-14 Tomcats who thereupon each shot down a Libyan Su-22s. Libya had claimed that the entire Gulf was their territory with an exclusive 62-nautical-mile (115 km; 71 mi) zone. Two further incidents occurred in 1986 and 1989.
Sukhoi Su-17/20/22
The Sukhoi Su-17 and sub-variants Su-20 and Su-22 (NATO reporting name: Fitter) are Soviet single-seat, single-engine and variable-sweep wing fighter bombers. Developed from the Sukhoi Su-7, it first flew on August 2, 1966, entering service in 1970. The type had a long career and underwent many upgrades over time. It was widely exported and saw combat in multiple conflicts.
Over 2,500 airframes were completed before production ended in 1990. The Russian Federation retired its fleet in 1998, but the type remains in service with some export customers.
Domestic variants used the Lyulka AL-21 and exported the Tumanskiy R29, both axial-flow afterburning turbojet engines. The armament consists of two autocannons in wing roots and twelve hardpoints to carry up to 4,000 kg (8,800 lb) of payload.
