Offensive armament

The Su-24M is armed with:

• A choice between two presets:
  • 1 x 23 mm GSh-6-23M cannon, belly-mounted (500 rpg) + 24 x large calibre countermeasures
  • 1 x 23 mm GSh-6-23M cannon + 96 x large calibre countermeasures

Suspended armament

Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.

Default weapon presets

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Pros:

• Loads of air to ground munitions, with abilities to carry 3 of the heavy FAB-1500s and its guided versions
• In-built targeting system with laser tracking
• Highest burst mass firing gun in game

Cons:

• Heavy, hence not recommended in prolonged dogfights, especially after the first turn
• No thermals in targeting system
• Only radar is ground-track radar, which is scan only and cannot be adjusted at all
• Mediocre acceleration
• While MAWs are useful, they are very unreliable; giving warnings sometimes when no missiles are fired and sometimes no warnings when missiles are actually fired at you

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

• reference to the series of the aircraft;
• links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
