The second of July marked the 50th anniversary of the su-24 first flight. It was carried out by the test pilot Vladimir Ilyushin. The T-6-1 prototype was rather different from the final version, which entered service in 1975. It did not have variable geometry wings. Despite the long development the Fencer was a success, it was produced until the 1990s and exported in good numbers. It will remain in service for a few more years with several Air Forces.
