Indian Su-7BMK weapons

[RidgeRunner]

Hi all, 

 

Does anyone out there know the typical weapons used on the Indian Su-7BMKs, please? Did they use Russian/Soviet bombs and rocket pods etc or indigenous?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Martin

I've just had a quick scan through my copy of the Famous Russian Aircraft Fitter volume - most pictures of Indian Su-7's show UB-16-57 rocket pods outboard and the ubiquitous PTB-600 fuel tanks.

 

The accompanying text also mentions 900 liter fuel tanks (PTB-900's), as well as FAB-500M62 and locally produced 1000 lb bombs. 

 

HTH!,

Thanks Andre @Hook. Yes, I have that book. I was really wondering about any Indigenous weapons, I guess. I might just go with the UB-16s and, of course, the centreline tanks :).

 

Much appreciated!

Some RATO bottles might add an interesting touch:

 

 

And, there's always the good ol' gun:

Thanks again for that, mate. I reckon I'll invest in some FAB-500 M62s. I have some FAB-250s which might work on the outer pylon. I also have a few UB-16s....
