The Su-7/17 and 22 were based on the fuselage of the Su-9/11, which is almost identical to a MiG-21, only larger. Especially the early MiG-21 before they added the large dorsal spine for avionics and fuel.
Thanks for the video. A beautiful old school fighter that was once the Pinnacle of Soviet technology. Su-22 is just so incredibly graceful when it flew.
I've been watching polish su-22 many times on airshow's and I must say that this was most intense show I've ever seen. Really pushed to its limits ! Thank a lot for sharing !
A classic "afterburner" is on or off, not like the more modern "augmentor" which is throttleable. I work near Mojave CA and about 10 years ago was watching one of Tracor Flight Systems' F-100s making mock attacks on a FedEx MD-11 carrying a prototype cargo aircraft defense system. The old J-57 in the F-100 is a single stage afterburner. Pilot would bring the jet over our facility then light the burner and head for Mojave, loved hearing that old burner go boom when it lit.
@@thanhtringuyen8788 with the old single stage afterburner you don't control it. The engine is either one thrust rating at max dry thrust or a higher rating in afterburner. The afterburner lights off at full power with a boom. When the pilot deselects afterburner the engine goes from max thrust to max dry thrust in one step.
Same with the F-106 Delta Dart and the J-75. That engine was brutal when lit! Had a very unique boom, very explosive ! I miss that sound. To give you an idea of what I heard, and it was closer than what the camera mans distance was in this video. ua-cam.com/video/0A3OMi22yfc/v-deo.html 6:30 in
I work at Borax and it seems very rare to hear sonic booms anymore. When I was stationed at Edwards in the very early 90's it was booms constantly it seemed. Hell I remember twelve F16s doing a high-speed fly by and it rocked the world. Made the shuttle landings pale in comparison.
The original English Electric Lightening had a 4 stage afterburner. 1960's design. Later models had a variable afterburner. Aircraft of a very similar vintage to the century series aircraft
I have always liked the SU22's lines and I have never seen it on video until now. A tremendous beauty in the air! Russians have true genius when it comes to planes. Their Mig 29 Fulcrum is arguably the most beautiful plane ever built.
The MIG-29 is pretty but they were built cheap like AK-47's and only last around 4000 hours on their air frames. The Russians took a Sherman tank approach in that they would make lots during a war and throw them away when they wear out. This is why many countries that bought them like North Korea don't fly them very much. Then there's the smokey laggy engines, 1950's cockpit, and a radar that was next to useless against adversaries like the F-15. MIG has fixed all of that now with the MIG-35. Only took them 40 years.
There are 2 of them at the airport in DaNang Vietnam 🇻🇳 and yesterday they were flying around training I suppose. One of the loudest jets I’ve ever heard.
@@elowiczo9569 "flown by Vietnamese so not really that impressive." Because it's arrogance like that which cost America severely leading to the humiliating loss of the Vietnam War.
@Sharron Clark i think the resemblance is for the sharp tips of the wings/tail that make them look like fins to me. Also the shapes of the aircraft itself make it look aggressive and agile, like a shark!
Polish Su22 are only operational due to the fact that Poland doesn't have any other plane or weapons platform that could replace it. Spare parts are the biggest problem.
@@BOTmaster15 easy, send it to China they'll have it took apart before the engines cooled down, week later you'll get it back fixed but with an even lower performance

A beautiful variable-sweep wing jet fighter with an wonderful camouflage painting. Very stable and elegant flight, with an extremely imposing turbine roar. I really love this kind of aircraft.
@@ceaschannle5752 And it's not a bomber too, is an attack plane, or a bomb-fighter. The Fitter was a very heavy and powerful aircraft for a single-engine, although curiously carrying a modest amount of weaponry. It's nowhere near a light bomber and even more modern tactical fighters like the F-16. Indifferent to this, he has always shown himself to be extremely resistant in combat, and he must be hit by missiles to be shot down.

Cool video. I noticed next to the runway there was a GPN-22 Precision Approach Radar ( PAR ). I used to install and maintain those back in the early to mid 1980s.
This airplane looks and sounds a lot like an F-100 Super Sabre. The F-100 afterburner also went boom when it was lit. The reason was it used an older technology afterburner nozzle that had only two positions - fully closed or fully open. As such the F-100's afterburner was always either off or fully on. Later jet fighters like the F-104 and F-4 had variable nozzles and multiple sets of spray bars so their afterburners operated progressively, so they didn't go boom anymore.
During one of the Indo-Pakistan wars a SU 7 (fixed-wing precursor to the 22) had a wheels up landing after flying a combat sortie. It was jacked up, dents hammered out and flying combat missions again that same afternoon. They built them tough... :)
Back in the late 70’s I was at Langley AFB, Virginia. This was TAC headquarters and lots of the older century series fighters would come and go. It was common to get the boom from the afterburners. We had F-15’s but the older jets were so much fun to watch. Nothing flying sounds like an F-104 in the pattern. Great memories.
My Air Guard unit participated in a training exercise at Langley back in the 1970's. We were there to be the aggressors to train young F-15 pilots. I was in avionics maintenance and we were flying F-100's. We had a two seat F-100F with us and I got a back seat ride during the exercise. During the first dogfight we were in the F-100 I was in got a kill against an F-15. It was the second ride I got in a Super Sabre and quite an experience.
Those were great times weren’t, Joe. I loved all the century series fighters. The only one I never got to see in flight was the F-102. I was an electrician and the F-15 was definitely a maintenance man’s dream. Later while on F-16’s at Kunsan , Korea I got a ride in a B model. Most fun I have ever had. Nice visiting with you Joe and thank you for your reply. ‘
She is very beautiful to my eyes, it's more terrifying with the rocket pods installed because of the howling noise produced by the holes (watch the Syrian Su-22 combat footages for example).
God, I love watching these old war-birds screaming through the skies! The SU-22 just looks mean as hell and seems to be quite a reasonably maneuverable aircraft. Form all accounts it made for a fantastic ground attack aircraft and was only surpassed by the SU-25 Frogfoot in that role. That being said, it just gives me chills watching this beast of plane flying and roaring through the skies. What a pleasure it must be to fly one of these amazing war-birds.
You're right. But the Su-25 is more of a CAS platform, while the SU-17 series is more of a tactical-level attack aircraft, meant to take out strategic targets more than offer ground support by design. They were of course adapted to that role, especially in Poland where we've never had a dedicated CAS aircraft. Having said that, both have done these roles quite well. Beautiful aircraft. It's gonna be a sad they when they're gone in 2025.
@@supreme3376 A long time ago yes. But they very quickly were adapted for a primarily conventional bombing role. Also remember that most American fighter bombers are capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
The J57 had a notoriously hard afterburner light, this is not unusual in a turbojet. If you have a bypass duct then the afterburner thrust build up is arranged to be much slower because otherwise the pressure pulse in the jet-pipe can travel backwards up the bypass duct and destabilise the compressor causing surges. F100s used to have this in the early F-15 and F-16 models.
A lot of older jets did not have a progressive or staged afterburner control like those of more advanced design. They were all or none concerning the reheat/augmentor fuel flow. This produces whats called a 'hard-light' type system. Another characteristic of the older and more primitive systems, many did not have a dedicated ignition source for light off. These early systems used "hot-streak" ignition where a momentary on/off fuel nozzle was placed in one of the combustors further downstream of the main fuel nozzles. Activation of the AB system put a shot if fuel through this extra nozzle that would ignite and put a lick of flame all the way through the hot section turbines & stators and into the jet pipe. That lick of flame was the AB ignition source. Its a reliable method but subjects the hot section to extra hot heat cycling with every use, hard on the parts and reduces service life. This system was replaced by electronic spark ignition and some had a fuel burning torch igniter in the exhaust. You can see a hot-streak system in use on a Saab Draken video and some videos of the F-104 Starfighter you can see the torch igniter lit in the jet pipe of taxing 104's.
The flares were added after soviet SU-17s faced the risk of being shot down quiet easily by portable MANPADs in Afghanistan. The first two series of Polish SU-22's (built in 1984) didn't have flare dispensers. It was an addition the soviets just added in the factory as a result of "trial by fire" in their war in Afghanistan. As a ground attack aircraft, it's quite well suited for defense against such threats.
Big powerful engine, variable swept back wings for supersonic cruse, clean lines, manoeuvrable (at low altitude at least) : Has the design genetics of a long range interceptor. I am not familiar with this SU model, but it looks like it would have been a problem for SAC B52's .
The Su-22 was and is one of the best Soviet designs, and what keeps another aircraft from being updated is the commercial side of fighter manufacturers who need more money.
Su 22 is like twice the weight of a mig 21, also in Soviet times it was used as a fighter bombers, completely different role than mig 21. They’re loud as hell though.
Susan Ananda because they bought a large spares package and a MASSIVE package of Russian munitions when the planes were new. They did a cost study several years ago and determined that the cost of retiring the planes before they used up more of the parts and munitions, plus retraining all the crews, was actually more expensive than keeping them operational for a bit longer. They are apparently VERY cheap for Poland to operate.
PaddyPatrone you have an awesome sound recording device if you did the recording. The sound of that jet engine, it was amazing, i could feel it in my chest, even though i was wearing headphones, it felt like i was at that airshow.
@@PaddyPatrone True but like all new technology the price will plummet. The first calculator was priced higher than a new car. These days calculators are given away free in some occasions.
@@D0csavage1 Sure, but so far prizes for that kind of equipment don`t drop that fast. Also, resolution isn`t everything. There are many different features a camera needs to do a certain job. Run & Gun cameras are the best for airshow footage in my opinion. But yeah, im looking for a new camera. Aiming for something that can do 4K 60p with a proper zoom lens. Maybe next year.
Although not a true swept wing jet, the Su-17/22 manage to play a role that most thought at the time wasn't feasible. With only half it wings being swept and half being fix, most Western observers didn't take the Su-17/22 seriously. Gotta give it to Sukoi for making something decent despite being a half job modification where MiG completely designed a new fighter with swept wing technology, the MiG-23.
So many hard corners, projections, fences... Strange looking now days. The show wasn't all that impressive, but I'd still love to see this thing up close in person.

If the mig 17 and mig 21 had a baby this would be the plane.
Sure
It is a big ground attack bomber, no similarity.
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 type doesn't matter, we're talking about looks
Except its a sukhoi so saying it’s a MiG mix is a bit brash.
Cool old bird! Really nimble for an old mud moving bomb truck!
Very nice and loud though
I like it cause it's good for ground attack
I have heard F-4 Phantoms boom when they went into afterburner after making mock passes at a Hawk missile base In Germany back in the 60's...
It taxied so fast lol at the end
I think the pilot needed to go to the bathroom his approaching speed to land was pretty high about 200 knots
Every second counts when the nukes are incoming
I think he was getting more flares
"Gimmy forty acres and I'll turn this rig around......"
The soviets knew how to make sexy jets I'll give them that
More flares than a 1970’s disco😂
No wonder It took a hornet 2 missiles to shoot one down. I was kinda baffled when news came of 2 f18 using 2 missilws to shoot down an su22.
The sparkler show was impressive. I've never seen so many pumped out before. I'd love to see it at dusk into dark.
I absolutely love this plane…
Swept wing,more rounded fuselage + rest of mig 21=su 22.
Su22=mig21's big brother
No not.
Su 22 is like twice the weight of a mig 21, also in Soviet times it was used as a fighter bombers, completely different role than mig 21. They’re loud as hell though.
Susan Ananda because they bought a large spares package and a MASSIVE package of Russian munitions when the planes were new. They did a cost study several years ago and determined that the cost of retiring the planes before they used up more of the parts and munitions, plus retraining all the crews, was actually more expensive than keeping them operational for a bit longer. They are apparently VERY cheap for Poland to operate.
captain cool right, and in the meantime just keep the cheap-to-operate Su-22s in service until they simply become unmaintable.
When the engine flames out in this plane, then it's rate of descent is bigger than of a lorry with trailer packed with tarmac
great show, great aircraft...
PaddyPatrone you have an awesome sound recording device if you did the recording. The sound of that jet engine, it was amazing, i could feel it in my chest, even though i was wearing headphones, it felt like i was at that airshow.
Great to know. I use an external shootgun microphone.
Then there are the 8K cameras too that will take videos like this to another level.
@@D0csavage1 quite expensive
@@PaddyPatrone True but like all new technology the price will plummet. The first calculator was priced higher than a new car. These days calculators are given away free in some occasions.
@@D0csavage1 Sure, but so far prizes for that kind of equipment don`t drop that fast. Also, resolution isn`t everything. There are many different features a camera needs to do a certain job. Run & Gun cameras are the best for airshow footage in my opinion. But yeah, im looking for a new camera. Aiming for something that can do 4K 60p with a proper zoom lens. Maybe next year.
Ein Dinosaurier aus einer vergangen Zeit.. cool 😎👍
majestic machinery
I want one in my backyard.
Beautiful aircraft!!
Well done!
Fantastic Video!
Many thanks 💕 for all efforts God 🙏 bless you, amazing video
Demonic looking aircraft with all thoose spikes on wings and almost look like a dragon
Im currently using this in War Thunder. amazing aircraft!
Fitter 'C' swing wing test bed that made it in to service good bit of kit tough and capable.
love this plane looks so brutal
a MAGNIFICENT machine...
...Croatia's Air Force is still flying old MiG 21s which bear a a passing resemblance to the SU-22 save for the variable geometry.
Sukhoi and Mikoyan Gurevich shared design concepts a lot. Just look at the Flanker and Fulcrum families.
1:14 the boom! Es una máquina increíble
Although not a true swept wing jet, the Su-17/22 manage to play a role that most thought at the time wasn't feasible. With only half it wings being swept and half being fix, most Western observers didn't take the Su-17/22 seriously. Gotta give it to Sukoi for making something decent despite being a half job modification where MiG completely designed a new fighter with swept wing technology, the MiG-23.
Sukhoi did ir to...with the Su-24
I was unfortunately a bit late for this particular display. But another great edition of the Air Power, at least for those not scared of rain!
The weather was absolutely terrible!
PaddyPatrone Let’s call it infantryman‘s weather....! But it was great for a little moodier photos.
Soviet tech, almost immortal
One of the most widely used attacker aircraft.
The planform looks as if swing wings have been tacked on to the wingtips of a MiG-21. Hehe
Its beautiful
Really cool aircraft.
Nice to see 40 year old soviet plane's still flying.. they must of built them really well.
Simply perfect :-)
I was expecting the afterburner to explode. This is better
Never knew Soviet aircraft had flare making abilities on board. Impressive.
In fact a syrian SU-22 evaded a modern AIM-9X thanks to these old flares... it was then shot down by a radar guided AMRAAM.
i love this booms :)
What a beauty!
So many hard corners, projections, fences... Strange looking now days. The show wasn't all that impressive, but I'd still love to see this thing up close in person.
Flares. That’s me on toilet after eating chili burritos.
DAMN. The Soviet Union built some tErRiFyInG ( seriously BAD ASS ) looking Aircraft ! The SU22 Has that menacing look reminiscent of a Shark and a roar like a Dragon from some Legendary Tale from long ago .
