It’s 11.3 in ground, same as Tornado.
It’s the same BR in air as some of the Tornadoes as well despite being inferior in air RB.
Not sure why you @warhead_beast and others are claiming 11.3 > 11.3…

That’s the point. What does Russia have to do with it, then?
Because it’s literally the same nation, my dude.
They still operate the Su-24 and both the original MiG-29 and Su-27 in the USSR tree have their more modern russian camos and roundels as well
The “M” modification appeared in the USSR, and the end of its modernization indeed fell in 1993. However, the modification itself was developed in the 1970s in the USSR.
The M2 variant was created in Russia, but the original M version first took to the skies back in 1976.
In the game, there’s a USSR tech tree that includes equipment from Russia, which was created in Russia. However, equipment originally created in the USSR remains classified as Soviet, as the main focus of the tech tree is the USSR.

Cause Russian Federation vehicles go to the country Russia was part of previously.
It’s really that simple.
Alright. Then why does the preview specifically feature the Russian Air Force? They could have used the Ukrainian Air Force, Belarusian Air Force, or even the Korean Air Force instead.
If I had to guess it would have something to do with the GLONASS bombs, which didn’t exist when the USSR operated these planes
In other words, this is a Su-24M that was operated by the Russians, rather than one that was operated by the USSR

SPPU-6s carry GSh-6-23s not 23Ms! And GLONASS guided bombs were introduced for the M2, same with Kh-29TEs. Why is the Kayra-24M missing FLIR? And where are the Fencer B and C?
Well, guess this is another case of Gaijin playing Frankenstein with the vehicle variants

Well, you said it yourself, the M modification was finished in 1993, post-Soviet Russia, and therefore was (after modification finished) outfitted with the paint schemes of the Russian Ain Force.
The Su-24M entered service in 1983
Yes, but once the fall of the Soviet Union happened, they repainted their planes in the paint of the Russian Airforce, it’s my personal assumption there is a “optional” paint for the Soviet Air Force (Yellow-Brown and sky blue/Dark-brown of the Syrian conflicts) as a unlockable camo for it when the update goes live. As always, there will be a client side option from the .live you could download.
When the wing loading is quite poor, its turn slow for the Su-24M either way.
What?
The Su-24M MAWS is on the roof of the plane, it can’t see ground launched missiles without tilting the plane. Really only for enemy planes above and level with you, and really isn’t a substitute for simply paying attention.
If you’ve played the Su-39, you know how very niche and generally unused the ground radar is. Really only for occasionally finding an enemy plane, otherwise its left off.
Same GRB tactic as the Su-25T/39, but they do it better with the Vikhrs and L-150 RWR.
Boring…
One of the possible camo’s (Left side Num-5)

RWR (I hate autocorrect)
Shouldn’t have to turn around with wing payload in the first strike pass, or generally speaking turn around.
Could have sworn there’s a sensor in the tail and behind the cockpit.
Which leads into the next question, what? It has a SPO-15, wdym 3 separate RWR’s?
Its just the dome behind the cockpit. Good 360° coverage for a single unit, but it can only see upwards.
180° for the top of the fuselage though? Right?
