On 14 May 1953, after Joseph Stalin's death, the Sukhoi OKB was reopened and by the summer, it began work on a swept-wing front-line fighter. The Su-7 was rugged in its simplicity, but its shortcomings included short range and low weapon load. It carried a 5kt nuke as well.

    • On 14 May 1953, after Joseph Stalin's death, the Sukhoi OKB was reopened and by the summer, it began work on a swept-wing front-line fighter. The Su-7 was rugged in its simplicity, but its shortcomings included short range and low weapon load. It carried a 5kt nuke as well.
    • The Sukhoi Su-7 (NATO designation name: Fitter-A) was a swept wing, supersonic fighter aircraft developed by the Soviet Union in 1955. Originally, it was designed as tactical, low-level dogfighter, but was not successful in this role. On the other hand, soon-introduced Su-7B series became the main Soviet fighter-bomber and ground-attack aircraft of the 1960s. The Su-7 was rugged in its simplicity but its shortcomings included short range and low weapon load.
    • The Sukhoi Su-7 (NATO codename: „Fitter“) is a single seat, single engine fighter, designed to be a low-level dogfighter, but because it was unsuccessful in this role, it was used as a fighter-bomber in the 1960s.
