picture 172490

All the Su-24s of the VKS are painted in medium grey (FS 73092) on top surfaces and sides, and dielectric white (FS 73125) on the radome, undersides, and diverse dielectric pannels, whereas the front border of the latter is applied in differing positions ahead of the cockpit. The aircraft shown here was the example shot down by the THK’s F-16C on 24 November 2015. It is illustrated with the last known number of mission markings (five red stars), partially re-applied national markings and service titles, and as armed with a total of six FAB-250-270 bombs.
