General information

During the 1980s, the latest upgraded variants of the Su-17 fighter-bomber were starting to come online in the Soviet air force, and very quickly, it was exported as the Su-22 for Soviet allies. the East German air force would receive 48 of the latest Su-22M4 fighter bomber, and along with it eight of the twin-seat Su-22UM-3K trainer aircraft. The German Su-22s would serve as a frontline strike aircraft in the event of a war with NATO forces, and would remain in East German service until the re-unification of Germany, after which the almost all Su-22s were either scrapped or sold off as they were incompatible with NATO hardware and standards, with only a few being kept and repainted in German Luftwaffe liveries for serving as evaluation and testing aircraft.

The Su-22UM3K (Germany) was introduced in Update "Wind of Change". Being essentially just a twin-seat trainer variant of the Su-22M3 in the Soviet aircraft tree, it is almost identical in gameplay style, that is being a fast and hard hitting attacker utilizing hit and run tactics. The primary difference between this plane and the aforementioned Su-22M3 is that this one has over ten times the countermeasures, 128x of them compared to the 12x that the Su-22M3 gets. In the German aircraft tree, the Su-22UM3K serves as a stepping stone to the more powerful and versatile Su-22M4, serving the role of a multi-purpose strike aircraft with its abundant countermeasures, decent selection of laser guided air-to-ground ordnance, and R-60 air-to-air missiles for self-defence against enemy aircraft.
