Su-24
The first production version, the armaments include Kh-23 and Kh-28 type air-to-ground guided missiles, together with R-55 type air-to-air guided missiles.
[1] Manufactured 1971–1983.
Su-24M ('Fencer-D')
Work on upgrading the Su-24 was started in 1971, and included the addition of
inflight refueling and expansion of attack capabilities with even more payload options.
T-6M-8 prototype first flew on 29 June 1977, and the first production Su-24M flew on 20 June 1979. The aircraft was accepted into service in 1983. Su-24M has a 0.76 m (30 in) longer fuselage section forward of the cockpit, adding a retractable refueling probe, and a reshaped, shorter
radome for the attack radar. It can be identified by the single nose probe in place of the three-part probe of earlier aircraft. A new
PNS-24M inertial navigation system and digital computer were also added. A
Kaira-24 laser designator/TV-optical quantum system (similar to the American
Pave Tack) was fitted in a bulge in the port side of the lower fuselage, as well as Tekon track and search system (in pod), for compatibility with guided weapons, including 500 and 1,500kg
laser-guided bombs and TV-guided bombs, and laser/TV-guided missiles Kh-25 and Kh-29L/T, anti-radar missiles Kh-58 and Kh-14 (AS-12 'Kegler') and
Kh-59 (AS-13 'Kingbolt')/Kh-59M TV-target seeker guided missiles.
[1] The new systems led to a reduction in internal fuel amounting to 85 l (22.4 US gal). Su-24M was manufactured in 1981–1993.

Su-24M2 ('Fencer-D')
Next modernization of Su-24M introduced in 2000 with the "Sukhoi" program and in 1999 with the "Gefest" program. The modernized planes are equipped with new equipment and systems. As a result, they get new capabilities and improved combat efficiency, including new navigation system (SVP-24), new weapons control system, new HUD (ILS-31, like in Su-27SM or KAI-24) and expanding list of usable munitions (Kh-31A/P, Kh-59MK, KAB-500S). The last batch of the Sukhoi was delivered to the Russian VVS in 2009.
[44] Modernization continues with the program "Gefest". All frontline bombers Su-24 in the Central Military District received new sighting and navigation systems SVP-24 in 2013.

Su-24MK ('Fencer-D')
Export version of the Su-24M with downgraded avionics and weapons capabilities. First flight 30 May 1987 as
T-6MK, 17 May 1988 as Su-24MK. Manufactured 1988–1992, sold to Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, and Syria.
Su-24MR ('Fencer-E')
Dedicated tactical
reconnaissance variant. First flight 25 July 1980 as
T-6MR-26, 13 April 1983 as Su-24MR. Entered service in 1983. Su-24MR retains much of the Su-24M's navigation suite, including the terrain-following radar, but deletes the Orion-A attack radar, the laser/TV system, and the cannon in favor of two panoramic
camera installations, 'Aist-M' ('Stork') TV camera, RDS-BO 'Shtik' ('Bayonet') side-looking airborne radar (SLAR), and 'Zima' ('Winter') infrared reconnaissance system. Other sensors are carried in pod form. Manufactured 1983–1993.

Su-24MP ('Fencer-F')
Dedicated electronic signals intelligence (
ELINT) variant, intended to replace the
Yak-28PP 'Brewer-E'. First flight 14 March 1980 as
T-6MP-25, 7 April 1983 as Su-24MP. The Su-24MP has additional antennas for intelligence-gathering sensors, omitting the laser/TV fairing, but retaining the cannon and provision for up to four R-60 (AA-8) missiles for self-defense. Only 10 were built
اما اذا كان هناك حظر روسى على السودان فمن الافضل وضع جدول زمنى لاخراج الاسلحة الروسية و ادخال اسلحة صينية بدل منها و هنا يجب الاهتمام بنسخ جيدة و محاولة استبدال الافيونكس الصينى باخر غربى ان امكن
