General information

The Su-7BMK was devised almost immediately after the Su-7BM variant, as a downgraded export version for overseas customers outside the Warsaw Pact, being sold to many overseas customers including Egypt, India, North Korea, Algeria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. The primary users of the BMK were India and Egypt, both of which successfully used the aircraft in active combat. The BM (and its export variant, the BMK) provide multiple upgrades over the older Su-7B variant. Primarily, the aircraft were fitted with the more reliable and powerful Saturn AL-7F-1 engine and "wet pylons" under the wings, allowing the aircraft to use external fuel tanks.

The Su-7BMK was introduced in Update "Red Skies" as a pack premium, and was sold until the 2023 May Sale when it was removed from the Gaijin Store. Afterwards, it was made available again for two days due to its flight anniversary on January 24th 2024. Being an export version of the upgraded "BM" variant with many upgrades over the Su-7B in the tech tree, but without all the extra weight of the rough-field operation kit found on the tech tree Su-7BKL, the Su-7BMK is arguably the best Su-7 variant in-game, though all the Su-7s suffer from major issues at their battle rating, including lack of proper dogfighting performance, countermeasures, or any real air-to-air weaponry in air battles, and very underwhelming ground attack ordnance compared to their adversaries for ground-strike roles. All in all, the Su-7BMK is still a unique premium and is very efficient at researching aircraft due to its high speed, allowing it to bomb bases in air battles quickly and escape before enemy fighters intercept it.
