Su-24Supersonic all-weather tactical bomber and strike aircraftSide: Iran / Ukraine / Syrian government and allies / Libyan National ArmyBuilt: Sukhoi / Soviet Union / RussiaThe Su-24, NATO reporting name Fencer, is a Soviet-designed twin-engine tactical bomber built for low-level all-weather strike missions. In the United States-Iran Conflict, Iranian Su-24s were reported in a strike attempt toward Qatar's Al Udeid Air Base and were shot down before reaching the target. In Ukrainian service during the Russia-Ukraine War, surviving Su-24M and Su-24MR aircraft became especially important after integration of Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG cruise missiles, allowing long-range attacks without relying on newer Western combat aircraft.
