The
SU-17M4 (SU-22M4) was the final production version with
considerably upgraded avionics, including RSDN navigation
(similar to LORAN),
beacon navigation, inertial
navigation,
a more powerful (Klyon)
"Kлён-54" laser rangefinder, radio compass, and
SPO-15LE ("Sirena") radar-warning system, additional
fuselage inlets (including ram-air inlet at the base of the fin)
to improve engine cooling airflow and fixed air intake shock cone.
Many aircraft were equipped for the use of TV-guided missiles
and BA-58
Vjuga pod
for anti-radiation
missiles.
The engine was the AL-21F-3. Export version was
designated Su-22M4 (factory S-54K). The first flight was on 19 June 1980 with Yu. A. Yegorov at the controls.
Su-17M4 was manufactured from 1981 to 1988, and Su-22M4 from 1983 to 1990.
