Historical background and application:

The Su-17M3/M4 Fitter K aircraft were versatile Soviet-manufactured attack planes, widely operated from the late 1970s during the Cold War and after its end. They were equipped with countermeasures dispensers (chaff and flares), which increased survivability against heat-seeking and radar-guided missiles – an essential component for every aircraft engaged in combat missions in Afghanistan, and later in local conflicts and air forces of Eastern Bloc countries as well as export nations.

We especially recommend this set to those who value authenticity and attention to detail.
