Even though we were informed that there should be no flying activities of Polish Airforce during this day, we were positively surprised by two Su-22s armed with RS-2/ R-55 type air-to-air missiles. (only the white 'war-head' is unknown to me, not an U- or US-type). Nevertheless, a great opportunity to photograph the Su-22s!
My thanks goes once more out to our Polish hosts who made this successful visit possible.
The armed Su-22 during take-off.
The second Su-22 taxied back to the flightline for maintenance check.
This gave a nice ground study of the missiles.
Problem solved, once more in take-off.
The taxiing in of the first Su-22 with one unfired missile.
A third Su-22 for engine maintenance run-up
The return of the second Su-22 at the flightline
