Tehran, Jan 14, IRNA – Iranian Air Force overhauled a Sukhoi SU-24 on Sunday, in Shiraz, Fars province.

The aircraft has a variable-sweep wing, twin-engines and a side-by-side seating arrangement for its two crew. It was the first of the USSR's aircraft to carry an integrated digital navigation/attack system.

It remains in service with the Russian Air Force, Ukrainian Air Force, and various air forces to which it was exported.
