Sukhoi 7

The Sukhoi Su-7 was a Soviet supersonic fighter aircraft developed in 1955 and intended for tactical dogfighting, but was more successful as a fighter-bomber. It had a simple but rugged design and was powered by a fuel-inefficient engine that limited its payload. The Su-7B variant became the main Soviet ground attack aircraft of the 1960s despite high fuel consumption restricting how much ordnance it could carry on missions.

Sukhoi 7
The Sukhoi Su-7 is a swept wing, supersonic fighter aircraft developed by the Soviet
Union in 1955. Originally, it was designed as a tactical, low-level dogfighter, but was
not successful in this role. On the other hand, the soon-introduced Su-7B series
became the main Soviet fighter-bomber and ground-attack aircraft of the 1960s. The
Su-7 was rugged in its simplicity, but its Lyulka AL-7 engine had such high fuel
consumption that it seriously limited the aircraft's payload, as even short-range
missions required that at least two hardpoints be used to carry drop tanks rather than
ordnance.
