-Almost immediately after the Su-7 fighter-bomber was accepted into service in 1959, a directorate was issued to vastly upgrade the aircraft, as technology of the 50s and 60s was rapidly advancing and leaving the Su-7 behind. Throughought the early 60s, many avionics and ordnance upgrades were experimented with, but the largest change would not come from the Soviets, but rather, the Americans. In 1964, the culmination of the USAF's TFX program, the F-111 "Aardvark", performed its first flight, and presented to the world the dynamics of variable-geometry wings. The Soviets, as not to be out-done, hammered a partially variable geometry wing (only the outer half of the wing could pivot) into their updated Su-7 prototype, and redubbed it the Su-17. This new aircraft would first fly only two years later, in 1966, and would enter service as the Su-17M shortly after, with a export variant named the Su-20. The Su-17 and its derivatives would serve a long life with many operators around the world, from the oriental shores of Vietnam to the mountainous reaches of Peru in South America. Throughout its long life, the Su-17 would be upgraded into many variants, starting with the Su-17M2, and eventually evolving into the Su-17M3 and [[Su-17M4|M4]], marketed respectively as the [[Su-22M3]] and [[Su-22M4 (Germany)|M4]] for export. Even the Russian Federation would continue to use its later variants after the collapse of the USSR, and the Fitter family still finds use with third world countries to this day, even garnering short-lived fame in recent times in 2017 when a Syrian Su-22M4 defeated the latest AIM-9X fired from a USN F/A-18E Super Hornet in a well documented incident resulting in the last aircraft in recent times shot down by the United States.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet strike aircraft {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Ixwa Strike"]] as the first aircraft with variable-geometry wing ("Swing wing") mechanics ingame. While underwhelming compared to not only its adversaries, but also its own contemporaries in its own tech tree, the aircraft lays the foundation of skill required to operate other, more advanced swing-wing attack aircraft in the Soviet tech tree, such as the later [[Su-17M4]] and the MiG-27s. Being the first supersonic aircraft with laser guided ordinance in the soviet tech tree, this aircraft builds on doctorine established from both the slower, more cumbersome Su-25s and the fast and hard-hitting Su-7s, making this plane a stepping stone towards the later soviet supersonic fighter-bombers.

-The Su-17M2 has extremely competitive flight characteristics given by its variable sweep wings, which can change from an angle of 30 degrees swept forward to 63 degrees when fully swept back. Firstly, the Su-17 is fast. This aircraft can reach a top speed of ~1,440 km/h TAS on the deck (or 1,420 km/h IAS), meaning that it can easily outrun Phantoms, MiG-21s, and other comparable top-tier aircraft. The only two exceptions to this are the Italian F-104S Starfighter and British Phantoms (FGR.2 and FG.1), which can outrun the Su-17 at sea level by a small margin. The aircraft's acceleration is very competitive below speeds of 1100 km/h, but does take more time to accelerate above that speed. Note that acceleration at high speeds improves dramatically when the wings are swept fully backwards.

 * The [[Mirage IIIC]] and the [[J35D]]: These planes are also serious foes as they out turn everything at their BR (keep in mind that the Draken is more manoeuvrable than the Mirage) so dogfighting them is a death sentence. They're also able to wield deadly missiles, the Draken wields the Swedish license built AIM-9P3s known as [[RB24J|RB24Js]] and the Mirage has access to the extremely effective [[Matra R550 Magic 1]] that pulls 30 Gs and has a higher top speed than other IR guided missiles. The best thing to do against these planes is to do a zoom climb to bleed their speed since they have a lower thrust to weight ratio than you and then do oblique turns since they both bleed a ton of speed when turning and have a lower acceleration than you do. Try to not let them shoot a missile at you since you don't have flares and will have to try to outturn it. If that happens turn off the afterburner and pull hard.
-* [[F-4 Phantom II (Family)|Phantoms]]: These planes are the most common enemies and high-priority targets due to their extremely good missile armament and speed. This applies especially to the British Phantoms, which are capable of outrunning you by a small margin on the deck. However, you can out-turn them by a small margin with wings swept forwards. In many cases you can evade their AIM-9s by turning in one direction first, than rolling and switching direction. If you try to turn fight them, pull out your airbrakes to go below 1000 km/h (620 mph), fold out the wings and you won't have any problems. If they try to get out of the turn fight and out accelerate, you can quickly fire one of your R-60's at them, if you have them equipped. Finally, note that these aircraft all wield the formidable AIM-7 Sparrow - the best way to avoid these missiles is to avoid heading to high altitudes. Stay low, stay fast, and watch your RWR.

-During the further development of the Su-7B project and the tendency of fighter-bomber aviation to increase the combat mass of an aircraft, the problem of difficult takeoff and landing on shorter runways became apparent. However, a massive supersonic bomb with an ability to make a missile strike as well was all too an alluring military power to simply give up! The TsAGI research institution studied the prospects for a scheme with a variable sweep-wing, which was able to facilitate takeoff and landing of a heavy aircraft at subsonic speeds. Studies have shown that when using the classical variable sweep scheme, the desired effect will not be achieved, even to the contrary, the performance characteristics will significantly decrease. However, if only part of the wing is designed to 'swing', take-off and landing will become noticeably easier, and flight characteristics at subsonic speeds will increase greatly.

-This is how the project of an experimental prototype of the S-22I appeared: a sweep-wing fighter-bomber made on the basis of Su-7BM. After successful tests, the fighter-bomber designated Su-17 was adopted for mass production. At the beginning of the 70's, the Su-17M modification appeared, a little later supplemented by the Su-17M2 modification, in which the most contemporary developments at that time were combined, including new navigation systems and an aiming system with a laser rangefinder, featuring a total payload of 4,000 kg. Serial production of the Su-17M2 began in 1974, a total of 152 units of this modification were produced.

The forward canopy features 25 mm of armoured glass, as well as a thin 8 mm steel plate in front of the controls. The large engine is mounted at the rear of the fuselage, while fuel tanks are mounted underneath it, as well as in the inner parts of the swept wing surfaces. Two sets of structural spars run the entire length of the wing, though only the forward set of spars are completely linked to each other.

The forward canopy features 25 mm of armoured glass, as well as a thin 8 mm steel plate in front of the controls. The large engine is mounted at the rear of the fuselage, while fuel tanks are mounted underneath it, as well as in the inner parts of the swept wing surfaces. Two sets of structural spars run the entire length of the wing, though only the forward set of spars are completely linked to each other.
 The Su-17M2 is surprisingly easy to fly even with serious damage - the aircraft can safely make it back to the airfield even with a wing missing, due to the powerful ailerons. However, note that any damage to the wing surfaces can cause a large imbalance in lift, making turning difficult.

 * [[F-4 Phantom II (Family)|Phantoms]]: These planes are the most common enemies and high-priority targets due to their extremely good missile armament and speed. This applies especially to the British Phantoms, which are capable of outrunning you by a small margin on the deck. However, you can out-turn them by a small margin with wings swept forwards. In many cases you can evade their AIM-9s by turning in one direction first, than rolling and switching direction. If you try to turn fight them, pull out your airbrakes to go below 1000 km/h (620 mph), fold out the wings and you won't have any problems. If they try to get out of the turn fight and out accelerate, you can quickly fire one of your R-60's at them, if you have them equipped. Finally, note that these aircraft all wield the formidable AIM-7 Sparrow - the best way to avoid these missiles is to avoid heading to high altitudes. Stay low, stay fast, and watch your RWR.
