NAPO has upgraded the Su-24M2 aircraft with improved avionics, including GPS and the Russian equivalent GLONASS, and a head-up display (HUD) and visor, under a three-year contract, as part of a national defence order for 2009.
The Su-24M2, an all-weather version for day and night use, has also been fitted with additional sophisticated weapons.
An upgraded version of Su-24’s other variants such as Su-24M and Su-24MK fighter bombers, the Su-24M2s have been sent to their respective air force bases.
The two-seater, twin-engine Sukhoi Su-24 aircraft, built by the former Soviet Union during the 1970s and 1980s, carried the USSR’s first integrated digital navigation / attack system.
