Offensive armament

Main article: NR-30 (30 mm)

The Su-7BMK is armed with:

  • 2 x 30 mm NR-30 cannons, wing-mounted (80 rpg = 160 total)

Suspended armament

Main articles: OFAB-250sv (250 kg), FAB-500M-54 (500 kg), ZB-360 incendiary
Main articles: S-3K, S-5K, S-24

The Su-7BMK can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

  • Without load
  • 96 x S-5K rockets
  • 42 x S-3K rockets
  • 6 x 250 kg OFAB-250sv bombs (1,500 kg total)
  • 4 x 500 kg FAB-500M-54 bombs (2,000 kg total)
  • 4 x 500 kg FAB-500M-54 bombs + 2 x 250 kg OFAB-250sv bombs (2,500 kg total)
  • 4 x ZB-360 incendiary bombs
  • 6 x S-24 rockets

Usage in battles

Arcade battles

The Su-7BMK can bomb bases, intercept bombers, and fight other fighter planes at the same time. With the excellent acceleration of the Su-7, you can easily catch up with the enemy because of the massive and powerful engine with its afterburner. However, keep an eye on the fuel: the afterburner burns a ton of fuel when active, so the best would be to fill the fuel tank up to full. The plane also features a ballistic computer and two 30 mm autocannons, with excellent ammo selection, which can rip apart any plane you'll face in battle. The Su-7BMK can perform well in a 1-vs-1 scenario, but if it encounters multiple enemy planes, it will have problems (especially if your enemy is equipped with air-to-air missiles). The best would be to have a teammate close to you, so you will have some cover if things go wrong.

Realistic battles

Dogfighting is not viable because of the poor turn rate; the enemy can out-turn you quickly and get behind you. The Su-7BMK is an interceptor/attacker with a slow roll rate. Because of the low ammo capacity of the guns (160 rounds), pilots should apply strict trigger discipline. The two 30 mm autocannons are potent and can quickly destroy most planes that the Su-7BMK fights. Remember to use short/controlled bursts since the ammo belts are short. Overall, the Su-7BMK should remain an interceptor and a base bomber. With its ballistic computer, pilots will obliterate ground targets and bases.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • High flight speed and rate of climb
  • Retains energy very well
  • The 4 x 500 kg + 2 x 250 kg bombload allows for efficient bombing
  • Its speed lets you quickly reach bomb targets and return to base for rearming before enemies can get to you
  • Radar Warning Receiver (stock)

Cons:

  • Decreased manoeuvrability at high speeds
  • Lacks guided weapons: neither AGMs nor AAMs are available
  • Wings can be ripped apart if one isn't careful when diving on bomb targets
  • No countermeasures
  • Is practically restricted to ground operations

History

The Su-7BMK was a simplified export variant of the Su-7BM. The fighters were produced from 1967 to 1971 to more than 400 units and exported to Egypt, India, Algeria, North Korea, and Afghanistan. The Su-7BMK is identical to the Su-7BKL except for its landing gear, IFF system, and ballistic computer.
