Remembering different Soviet Aircraft can be confusing. The MiG fighter planes are usually the best remembered. One of MiG bureau's main competitors is the Sukhoi Bureau, which made the Su - 7 series of fighter bombers, Su-25 Close Air Support plane (similar to our A-10) and the most famous, the Su-27 Flanker.
Part of the confusion comes from NATO code names of these planes. All Su-7 and variants are called "Fitter". This book explains in one page and answers a lot of the questions. The early history and development of the Su -7 fighter bomber are covered, along with excellent line drawings, B&W photos (some grainy) of the planes and 2 pages of color plates to show camouflage schemes.
